E U R O C R Y P T '99
First Call for Papers
Eurocrypt '99 in
Prague,
Czech Republic,
May 2 - May 6, 1999, in hotel Hilton.
General Information
Original papers on all technical aspects of cryptology are
solicited for submission to Eurocrypt '99, the 17th Annual
IACR Eurocrypt Conference. Eurocrypt '99 is organized
by the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR)
and in cooperation with the Group of Cryptology within the Union of
Czech Mathematicians and Physicists.
Instructions for authors
Authors are strongly encouraged to submit
their papers electronically. A detailed description of the electronic
submission procedure will appear by August 1, 1998 at
http://www.ens.fr/eurocrypt99/
Electronic submissions must conform to this procedure in order to be
considered.
Authors unable to submit electronically are invited to send
a cover letter and 23 copies of an anonymous paper (double-sided
copies preferred) to the Program Chair at the postal address below.
Submissions must be received by the Program Chair on or
before October 12 1998 (or postmarked by October 3, 1998, 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.
Only original research contributions will be considered. Submissions
must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors have
published elsewhere or have submitted in parallel to any other
conference or workshop that has proceedings.
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 key words, and its introduction should
summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a
non-specialist reader. The paper should be at most 12 pages excluding
the bibliography and clearly marked appendices, and at most 20 pages
in total, using 12-point font and reasonable margins. Committee
members are not required to read appendices, so the paper should
be intelligible without them. Submissions not meeting these guidelines
risk rejection without consideration of their merits.
Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to authors by
January 15, 1999. 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. Clear instructions about the final copy will be sent
to the authors of accepted papers. The final copies of the accepted
papers will be due on February 15, 1999. Final papers arriving too
late will be removed from the main program.
