This Festschrift is a celebration of Ed Dawson's life and impact on research, teaching and leadership. Ed originally trained as a mathematician and first worked as a schoolteacher before joining Queensland Institute (later University) of Technology where he engaged with the emerging world of applied cryptology. He first concentrated on symmetric-key cryptography, analyzing randomness, searching for new building blocks and designing cryptographic engines, he later expanded his interests to public-key cryptography with a particular focus on the implementation aspects of elliptic curves.
