Call for Papers

General Information

Original papers on all technical aspects of cryptology are solicited for submission to Eurocrypt 2006, the 25th Annual Eurocrypt Conference. Eurocrypt 2006 is organized by the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR). For more information see http://www.iacr.org/conferences/eurocrypt2006/.

Instructions for Authors

Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any other conference or workshop with 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 submission 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. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

Since the final version of accepted papers will have to follow the LNCS guidelines

(see http://www.springeronline.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,5-164-2-72376-0,00.html)

with a total page limit of 18 pages including references and appendices, it is advised to submit in the same format.

Committee members are not required to review more than that, so the paper should be intelligible and self-contained within this length.

Papers must be submitted electronically. A detailed description of the electronic submission procedure will be available by October 24, 2005 at http://www.iacr.org/conferences/eurocrypt2006/. Submissions must conform to this procedure and be received by November 21, 2005, 12:00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to be considered. Late submissions and non-electronic submissions will not be considered. Authors who need assistance to submit electronically should contact the Program Chair at the address below by November 1, 2005.

Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to authors by February 10, 2006. 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. Instructions about the preparation of a final proceedings version will be sent to the authors of accepted papers. The final version of the accepted papers will be due on March 13, 2006.
