Crypto '98: Call for Papers
CRYPTO '98
August 23-27, 1998, Santa Barbara, California, USA
CALL FOR PAPERS
GENERAL INFORMATION
Original papers on all technical aspects of cryptology are solicited for
submission to Crypto '98, the Eighteenth Annual IACR Crypto Conference.
Crypto '98 is organized by the International Association for Cryptologic
Research (IACR), in cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society Technical
Committee on Security and Privacy, and the Computer Science Department
of the University of California, Santa Barbara. For more information,
access http://www.iacr.org/
INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS
Authors are strongly encouraged to submit their papers electronically. A
detailed description of the electronic submission procedure will appear
by December 1, 1997 at http://www.iacr.org/conferences/c98/submit.html.
Electronic submissions must conform to this procedure in order to be
considered. Authors unable to submit electronically are invited to send
a cover letter and 22 copies of an anonymous paper (double-sided copies
preferred) to the Program Chair at the postal address below. Submissions
must be received by the Program Chair on or before February 16, 1998 (or
postmarked by February 7, 1998, and sent via airmail or courier). Late
submissions and submissions by fax will not be considered. The cover
letter should contain the paper's title and the names and affiliations
of the authors, and should identify the contact author including e-mail
and postal addresses.
Only original research contributions will be considered. Submissions must
not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors have published
elsewhere or have submitted in parallel to any other conference or
workshop that has proceedings. The paper must be anonymous, with no
author names, affiliations, acknowledgments or obvious references. It
should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of key words,
and its introduction should summarize the contributions of the paper at
a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. The paper should be at
most 12 pages excluding the bibliography and clearly marked appendices,
and at most 20 pages in total, using at least 11-point font and reason-
able margins. Committee members are not required to read appendices, so
the paper should be intelligible without them. Submissions not meeting
these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.
Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to authors by April
30, 1998. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their
paper will be presented at the conference.
CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS
Proceedings will be published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in
Computer Science and will be available at the conference. Clear
instructions about the preparation of a final proceedings version will
be sent to the authors of accepted papers. The final copies of the
accepted papers will be due on June 5, 1998.
