GENERAL INFORMATION


Original research papers on all technical aspects of public-key cryptography are solicited for submission to PKC 2011, the 14th International Conference on Practice and Theory in Public Key Cryptography. Papers suggesting novel paradigms, original directions, or non-traditional perspectives are especially welcome.


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 any work which has been submitted to another conference with proceedings and which is still under consideration for publication at that conference at any point in time before the author notification deadline (November  24, 2010). Parallel submissions will be rejected from all venues to which they have been submitted, and further actions may be taken!


A sharp limit of 12 pages, not including, title page, references and appendices, in 11pt fonts, single column, with reasonable margins, is placed on all submissions. Note that the final version will be limited to 18 pages in the llncs class format. The paper should be intelligible and self-contained without appendices, as committee members are not required to read them.


Submissions must be fully anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references. Each paper must start with title, abstract, and keywords, followed by a succinct statement appropriate for a non-specialist reader, specifying the subject addressed, its background, main results, and their significance. Technical details directed to the specialist should then follow. If accepted, one of the authors is expected to present the paper at the conference.


PROCEEDINGS


Proceedings will be published in Springer-Verlag's
Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series
, and will
be available at the conference.
