Prof. Tassos Dimitriou

1. Have organized various Professional courses on Cryptography and Data Security
2.  Have been the organizer of the annual workshop on PRACtical aspects of SEcurity (PRACSE workshop). The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for continued activity in the area, to allow the interaction between security researchers and professionals and to give attendees the opportunity to network with experts in the field. This year’s keynote speaker is Philip R. Zimmermann, the creator of Pretty Good Privacy PGP Inc. PGP was selected by Information Week as one of the Top 10 Most Important Products of 1994. In 1995 Newsweek named Zimmermann one of the "Net 50", the 50 most influential people on the Internet.
