| BCRYPT - which stands for "Belgian Fundamental Research on Cryptology and Informaton Security" - is a Interuniversity Attraction Pole that brings together five Belgian research groups: COSIC and DISTRINET (K.U.Leuven), DICE and TELE (UCL), and the Discrete Mathematics group (UGent) with two EU partners: TUHH (Germany) and IAIK, T.U.Graz (Austria). The partners in this project proposal have a very strong background and experience in the key areas of this proposal: discrete mathematics, cryptology (algorithms and protocols), watermarking, secure software and secure hardware. We just mention two examples: the selection in 2000 of the Rijndael block cipher, developed at COSIC, as the US Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) which is now a worldwide de facto standard used by hundreds of millions of users in thousands of products, and the development of advanced cryptographic hardware in DICE, COSIC and IAIK
