http://sac2010.uwaterloo.ca/
The Workshop on Selected Areas in Cryptography (SAC) is an annual conference dedicated to specific themes in the area of cryptographic system design and analysis. SAC 2010 will take place on August 12-13, 2010, at the University of Waterloo, in Ontario, Canada.
Authors are encouraged to submit original papers related to the themes for the SAC 2010 workshop:
1. Design and analysis of symmetric key primitives and
cryptosystems, including block and stream ciphers, hash functions, and
MAC algorithms.
2. Efficient implementations of symmetric and public key algorithms.
3. Mathematical and algorithmic aspects of applied cryptology.
4. Applications of coding theory and combinatorics in cryptography.
Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any other journal, conference, or workshop that has proceedings. Information about submissions may be shared with program chairs of other conferences for that purpose. Accepted submissions may not appear in any other conference or workshop that has proceedings.
The proceedings will be published in
Springer-Verlag’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series. As in
previous years,
the workshop record will be available to participants during
the workshop. Instructions about the preparation of a final proceedings
version will be sent to
the authors of accepted papers.
Important dates
Submission deadline: May 17, 2010
Notification of decision: July 6, 2010
Preproceedings version deadline: July 20, 2010
Workshop: August 12–13, 2010
Instructions for Authors
- Papers must be submitted electronically. Details about the submission process will be given on the conference web site.
- The submission must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references.
- The length of the submission should be at most 12 pages excluding bibliography and appendices. It should be in single-column format, use at least 11-point fonts, and have reasonable margins. The total length should not exceed 18 pages.
- The submission must be written in English, should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords. The introduction should summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. Committee members are not required to read appendices; the paper should be intelligible without them.
- As the conference proceedings will be published by Springer, we recommend that the submission be typeset using LaTeX and the LNCS style available from the Springer web site (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs, follow the “For Authors” link). Submissions should be in PDF (a .pdf file) or PostScript (a .ps file) format.
- If at all possible, the paper should use Type 1 (outline) fonts rather than Type 3 (bitmap) fonts.
Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Neither late submissions, submissions by email, nor hardcopy submissions will be accepted. Authors unable to submit electronically or who cannot use LaTeX should contact the co-chairs by April 30, 2010. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop.
Stipends
A limited number of stipends are available
to those unable to obtain funding to attend the workshop.
Students, whose papers are accepted and who will present the paper
themselves are encouraged
to apply if such assistance is needed. Requests for stipends should be addressed to Guang Gong.
