Call for papers

Topics including various considerations of provable security for cryptographic primitives or security protocols are welcome. The conference is not limited to the theoretical security proof, but inclines to contain any thought of effort in exploring provable security and even include the opponent analysis to security proof. The conference aims at security proof or analysis for protocols and schemes including but not limited to the following areas:

• Identity-based cryptography
• Certificate-based cryptography
• Certificateless cryptography
• PKI Cryptographic primitives
• Privacy protection
• Provable Secure Hash functions
• Provable Secure Block ciphers
• Digital signatures
• Key exchange protocols
• Asymmetric key encryption
• Authentication
• Identification
• Electronic Cash
• Electronic Voting
• Security model
• Information hiding and watermarking
• Steganography

Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel for consideration of any other journal, conference or workshop with proceedings. Submissions should have at most 12 pages excluding the bibliography and appendices, and at most 20 pages in total, using at least 11-point fonts and with reasonable margins. Papers must be formatted according to the LNCS rules. All submissions should be anonymous.
