Instructions for Authors:

Papers on cryptology are welcome. Those that make a substantial link with network security will be given priority. Authors of such paper are encouraged to explain in a subsection of the introduction the link with network security. Quality papers on pure cryptology may also be accepted.

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/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. All submissions should be anonymous. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that at least one of the authors will attend the conference and present their paper.

The proceedings is planned to be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series by Springer Verlag, and be available at the conference.

The paper must start with a title, an abstract and keywords, but should be anonymous. It should be followed by a succinct statement appropriate for a non-specialist reader specifying the subject addressed, its background, the main achievements, and their significance to Cryptology or Network Security. Technical details directed to the specialist should then follow. Self citations to unpublished work should be avoided to maintain the anonymity. A limit of 12 singlespaced pages of 12pt type (not counting the bibliography and clearly marked appendices) is placed on all submissions. The total paper must not exceed 18 pages. Since referees are not required to read the appendices, the paper should be intelligible without them. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.
