Comodo to support the CHES international cryptographic conference

Bradford, UK, 26 March 2003. Comodo, the internet security specialists, is today announcing its continued support and sponsorship of the CHES (Cryptographic Hardware & Embedded Systems) conference, with Dr Colin Walter, Head of Cryptography, Comodo Research Lab invited to act as Program Chair for the conference. This is one of the largest cryptography conferences in the world today and, in the current economic climate, is the only one which has continued to increase in size and reputation in every year since its inception.


Held in Cologne, Sept 8-10, the fifth CHES conference will focus on all aspects of cryptographic hardware and security in embedded systems, with more than 200 participants coming from industry, academia and government organizations. Designed to help fill the gap between the research community and industry CHES provides a forum for the sharing of new results. Of particular interest are contributions that describe new methods for efficient hardware implementations and high-speed software for embedded systems such as smart cards, microprocessors and DSPs.

Colin has a formidable international reputation in the design of hardware and algorithms for the implementation of RSA cryptography. A senior member of the IEEE, Colin is most well-known to the international community for his invention of the first ever purely locally connected systolic modular multiplier array which is now the basis of the fastest SSL accelerator chips in the world.

Since forming in 1998, Comodo has operated a dedicated research and development lab, with R&D headquarters in UK and members of the R&D team based all around the world. The Comodo Research Lab is focused on the fundamental research and development of security solutions through its dedicated team of engineers and ensures the successful operation of the Comodo infrastructures.
