Dear Colleague,

This is a call for *** posters and panel *** submissions (published in 
proceedings) for the Financial Cryptography and Data Security Conference 
in Cozumel, Mexico, 28-31 January, 2008 (http://fc08.ifca.ai). Financial 
Cryptography and Data Security is a major international forum for 
research, advanced development, education, exploration, and debate 
regarding information assurance in the context of finance and commerce. 
The conference covers all aspects of securing transactions and systems. 
Submissions focusing on both fundamental and applied real-world 
deployments are solicited.

Accepted 1 page poster summaries will be published in the proceedings ! 
The poster session is the perfect venue to share a provocative opinion, 
interesting established or preliminary work, or a cool idea that will 
spark discussion. Poster presenters will benefit from a multi-hour 
session to discuss their work, get exposure, and receive feedback from 
attendees.

Free Child Care

We are also happy to offer free child care as part of the conference. 
The hotel offers a kids' club, with supervised childcare and activities 
from 9am to 5pm for children of age 5-12 whose parents are somewhere on 
the premises (in the conference room is fine). This is free of charge 
for hotel guests. Baby-sitting is available for US$5 per child per hour. 
Additionally, as part of the room rate for conference attendees, 
children of age 0-12 are free of charge (including food).

Financial Assistance for Primary Care Giver

We will also provide financial assistance to a scholar who is a primary 
care giver, and who has their research paper accepted for presentation. 
$750 will be awarded to pay for childcare and other family-related 
expenses related to attending the conference.
