\underline{\textbf{Instructions for authors}}
\medskip

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 that has proceedings.
\medskip

\textsc{Submission Format:} The paper 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 keywords. The length of the paper should
be at most 12 pages excluding bibliography and appendices, and at most 26 pages
total.  It should use at least 11-point fonts and have reasonable sized
margins.  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.

\medskip

\textsc{Electronic submission:} This is strongly encouraged.  A detailed
description of the electronic submission procedure will appear by January 21,
2000 at

\begin{tabular}{l}
 \texttt{http://www.cse.ucsd.edu/users/mihir/crypto2k/electronic.html}
\end{tabular}

Electronic submissions must conform to this procedure and be received by
February 10, 2000, 17:00 EST in order to be considered.

\textsc{Hardcopy submission:} Authors unable to submit electronically are
invited to send a cover letter and 20 hardcopies of their submission
(double-sided) to the Program Chair at the postal address below. Submissions
must be received by the Program Chair on or before February 02, 2000 (or
postmarked by January 28, 2000, and sent via airmail or courier). Late
submissions and submissions by fax will not be considered. The cover letter
should contain the paper's title and the names and affiliations of the authors,
and should identify the contact author including e-mail and postal addresses.
\medskip

\textsc{Decisions and presentation:} Notification of acceptance or rejection 
will be sent to authors by April 26, 2000. Authors of accepted papers 
must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference.

\textsc{Conference Proceedings:} Proceedings will be published in
Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science and will be available at
the conference.  Clear instructions about the preparation of a final
proceedings version will be sent to the authors of accepted papers. The final
copies of the accepted papers will be due on May 30, 2000.
