17th IMA International Conference on

Cryptography and Coding

16 - 18 December 2019, St Anne’s College, University of Oxford

CALL FOR PAPERS

The mathematical theory and practice of both cryptography and coding underpins the provision of effective security and reliability for data communication, processing and storage. This seventeenth International Conference in an established and successful IMA series on the theme of "Cryptography and Coding" solicits original research papers on all technical aspects of cryptography and coding are solicited for submission.

Submissions are welcome on any cryptographic or coding-theoretic topic including, but not limited to:

- Foundational theory and mathematics;
- The design, proposal, and analysis of cryptographic or coding primitives and protocols
- Secure implementation and optimisation in hardware or software; and
- Applied aspects of cryptography and coding.

The proceedings will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, and will be available at the conference.

Important Dates

Submission Deadline: 14 July 2019

Author Notification: 5 September 2019

Proceedings Version Deadline: 22 September 2019

Conference: 16 - 18 December 2019

Instructions for Authors

Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to a journal or any other conference or workshop with proceedings. Accepted submissions may not appear in any other conference or workshop that has proceedings. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference and must make a full version of their paper available online.

All submissions will be blind-reviewed. Papers must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references. Submissions should begin with a cover page containing title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords. The body of the paper should be at most 14 pages, excluding the title page with abstract, the bibliography, and clearly marked appendices. Committee members are not required to review appendices, so the paper should be intelligible and self-contained within this length. The submission must be in Springer’s LNCS format. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

Submissions should be submitted via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=imacc2019

17th IMA International Conference on

Cryptography and Coding

16 - 18 December 2019, St Anne’s College, University of Oxford

CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS

The mathematical theory and practice of both cryptography and coding underpins the provision of effective security and reliability for data communication, processing and storage. This seventeenth International Conference in an established and successful IMA series on the theme of "Cryptography and Coding" solicits presentations on all technical aspects of cryptography and coding.

Presentations are welcome on any cryptographic or coding-theoretic topic including, but not limited to:

- Foundational theory and mathematics;
- The design, proposal, and analysis of cryptographic or coding primitives and protocols
- Secure implementation and optimisation in hardware or software; and
- Applied aspects of cryptography and coding.

Important Dates:
- Submission Deadline: 14 August 2019
- Author Notification: 5 October 2019
- Conference: 16 - 18 December 2019

Criteria:
The main criteria for acceptance are whether the committee believes that the proposed talk will be of interest and of appropriate quality to present to the IMACC audience:

Submissions must comply with the following rules:

Submissions can be full papers (maximum 10 pages), abstracts (maximum 2 pages), or the expected presentation slides.
Submissions must be non-anonymous and must clearly specify which author will give the talk.
The submission should provide sufficient detail to explain what the talk will be about.

As these presentations do not enter the formal proceedings (see accompanying Call for Papers), we accept and encourage contributed talk proposals which correspond to papers that are under submission or already published elsewhere. To distinguish presentations from original research papers, presentations should be have “(Presentation)” in their name in the submission form.

Presentations should be submitted via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=imacc2019
