General Information
FSE 2012 is the 19th annual Fast Software Encryption workshop, for the
eleventh year sponsored by the International Association for Cryptologic
Research (IACR). FSE 2012 will take place in Washington DC, USA.
Original research papers on symmetric cryptology are invited for
submission to FSE 2012. The workshop concentrates on fast and secure
primitives for symmetric cryptography, including the design and analysis
of block ciphers, stream ciphers, encryption schemes, analysis and
evaluation tools, hash functions, and message authentication codes (MACs).
Instructions for Authors
Submissions must not
substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published in
a journal or a conference/workshop with proceedings, or has
submitted/is planning to submit before the author notification
deadline to a journal or other conferences/workshops that have
proceedings. Accepted submissions may not appear in any other
conference or workshop that has proceedings. IACR reserves the right
to share information about submissions with other program committees
to detect parallel submissions and the IACR policy on irregular
submissions will be strictly enforced.
Double submissions with the co-located third SHA-3 conference are allowed, but the papers accepted for FSE 2012 will be presented at FSE 2012 only, in order to avoid double presentations.
The submission must be written in English and be anonymous, with no
author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references. It
should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of
keywords. The length of the submission should be at most 14 pages
excluding bibliography and appendices using single column with at
least 11pt size font, reasonably sized margins and in total not more
than 20 pages. 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. Submissions not meeting
these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.
Submissions to FSE 2012 should be submitted electronically in
PDF format. A detailed
description of the electronic submission procedure is available
on FSE 2012 website.
The authors of submitted papers guarantee that their paper will be presented
at the workshop if their paper is accepted.
Proceedings
Preproceedings will be available at the
workshop. Proceedings will be published in
Springer-Verlag's
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Authors
of accepted papers will be required to complete the
IACR copyright
assignment form, for their
work to be published in the workshop final proceedings.
Workshop Information and Stipends
The primary source of information is this website. 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 sent to
the general chair.
