 of the importance to attract young, bright minds to the field of cryptology. In this country, we also organized a winter school last week to take advantage of the presence of some of the leading experts in cryptology. The winter school has been very successful. It has attract 71 students from 17 countries. With sponsorship of SIMPA, we have been able to host 30 international students. Yesterday we had a great privilege to host the public lectures of Professor Adi Shamir with almost 200 young students attending to that event. We really appreciate the support of the Vietnamese government for this conference. In particular, the Ministry of Education and Training, the Ministry of Information and Communication, and of Science and Technology. I especially thank Professor Chen Van Nhung, the Secretary of the Office of Professor of Title in Vietnam. We are also very grateful to the sponsors of this conference, in particular FLEAM, Microsoft, Inten, Google, Cisco, and Technology Company in Vietnam like Vietnam, ECP, Microsoft Vietnam, VP9, FPT, ESN. We also appreciate the sponsorship of the Vietnamese Bank of Investment Development, who has been a strategic partner for many years to support this conference and many other activities of the Vietnam. So I do believe that this conference will provide you with a great form of exchange, scientific ideas inspired new research, as well as resulting new conduct for closer cooperation. I also wish you a pleasant stay in Vietnam. We may now introduce Professor Phat-Zung here, the other co-chair of this conference, who will give you more insight about the conference. Good morning, everyone. Welcome in Hanoi. As my general co-chair mentioned, we prepared this conference... I'm sorry. It's low-key tall. It's not high-speed. In the waiting, you can see the center of Hanoi. As mentioned by Govaccio, we do free preparation for the conference, but the original idea is invoked in Vietnam 2006, 10 years ago. And as a conference, you can see the picture, the general chair, not me, my father, and Jacques Steck present here. And at the end of the conference, Jacques Steck, Serge Vaudenay and Tasfiaki Okamoto suggest me if we can organize ASEA-PRE. So we really want to organize the first IACR conference in Vietnam, but we also want to take this opportunity to promote local research in this domain. So it's time. So now I think that we have some small research group in Vietnam, and so I think this is a good moment to organize ASEA-PRE in Vietnam. And so we are very happy that there are lots of participants. We are 256 participants from 35 countries. And you can see two five countries. And we break a record on the number of Vietnamese participants. And we break it in a non-negligible margin because the previous record was three. And so for the functionality of the conference, all the talk will be given in this area. For the plenary talk, we have two-band room, and then after break, we split the room into two, and so we have two sessions. And you see the camera here. It's not for surveillance, but for recording your talk, we put on the YouTube channel, and we also do the live streaming, and we prepare two functional rooms on the first floor, so under this floor. And so we will put the screen, and we do a direct transmission of all the talk of the conference into this room. We know you can sometimes do the private visiting to do a rebutton of EuroCrip, et cetera. So you can work on this functional room. But I do hope that you stay in the main conference room. And so for the discussion on Wednesday, it's exactly at 2 p.m., and we will visit the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology and Tang Long Water Puppet. We reserve the whole theater, and so we still have 70 available places to meet, and if you have some friends in Hanoi, you can just say to me, and you can invite them as well. And so now for the room session. So we would like to thank Stephen Gumbright for accepting this room to run the room session. And so you please send him the submission before 6th Tuesday. And so he puts the room, the limit of the talk is seven minutes, and then you only allow to put a 10th slide. You can put small slide, but then we will randomly remove your slide, so that is the main 10th slide. And so here, lastly, we can do many things. We have sponsor for GIF, for discussion, et cetera, and we would like to thank again all the sponsors that were already named by my general coach. And so here you can see the logo of AsiaCrip. So you see here, the S is the shape of Vietnam. And so here is IHCR. So Vietnam and IHCR collaborate to organize this conference. And lastly, here is, I use the most CQ, third-random generator to put on this binary code on the picture. But this last yesterday, so I found a distinguish for this number. In fact, I found it on the Internet, and I put on this number and I converted it to string. And then it's become Welcome to AsiaCrip 2016 in Hanoi. And my special thanks to program co-chair of the conference. They did a huge and great job for the conference. And please, Jong Hee, Jong Hee, and Shuhashi Takagi. And Jong Hee will give some words. First, one question. The tour is Wednesday or Tuesday? Oh, good morning, everyone. Welcome to AsiaCrip 2016. This is Jong Hee-Chun from Solarisional University, a co-chair of AsiaCrip 2016 program committee with another co-chair, Professor Shuhashi Takagi from QC University. This year, we received 240 submissions from 34 countries. Among them, the program committee consisting of 43 leading experts from all over the world selected 67 papers. The review process was made through a double-blinded peer review by the program committees and then 309 external reviewers. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the PC members and the external reviewers. May I ask you those who review submission in AsiaCrip? No? Please, please, please, yeah, yeah. Please, please cheers them with big applause. Without their effort, we could not have this wonderful conference. The program committee selected the work best of fully homomorphic encryption bootstrapping in less than 0.1 seconds by Ilya, Nicolas, Maria, and Malika for the Best Paper Award of AsiaCrip 2016. Two more papers were solicited to submit full versions to the Journal of Cryptology. One is nonlinear invariant attack, practical attack on full scrim and ice cream and Midori 64. The other is cryptography, clipping the power of cryptographic attacks. The program of AsiaCrip 2016 featured invited three excellent talks. Nadia Henninger will give a talk on the reality of cryptographic deployment on the Internet. Huetek Wee is going to speak on advances in functional encryption and NIL-Complete will deliver a lecture on cryptography in Vietnam, in the French, and American worlds. As before, the conference also featured a traditional rump session that contains short presentation on the latest research vision of the field. Please participate in the rump session and enjoy the pleasant and exciting atmosphere. We'd like to thank the Stephen Galbraiths for preparing and chairing the rump session. Let me conclude the remarks with our deep great appreciation to the general co-chair of Ng Bao Chau and Phan Duong Hu for their effort and this wonderful organization. It's time to enjoy AsiaCrip 2016. Thank you.
