Submissions must be fully anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references. The submission 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 ignoring these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. If accepted, one of the authors is expected to present the paper at the conference.

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 formally published proceedings. Accepted submissions may not appear in any other conference or workshop with proceedings. Submissions violating these rules will be rejected and may entail further consequences. IACR reserves the right to share information about submissions with other Program Committees.

Program committee members are allowed to submit one paper, and a second one if co-authored by a student. Any PC member submission will be held to higher standards than other submissions.
