Instructions for authors of accepted papers

Background:

The International Conference on Theory and Practice of Public-Key Cryptography (PKC) has been the main IACR annual conference focusing on all aspects of public-key cryptography. PKC has attracted papers from world-renowned scientists in the area. The Proceedings of PKC'06 will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. PKC'06 will take place at Columbia University, in New York City, during the spring of 2006.

Topics of Interest:

The topics of interest are all aspects of public-key cryptography including theory, design, analysis, implementation, and applications.

Author Notification:	20 January, 2006

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 (January 20^th, 2006) to other conferences/workshops that have proceedings. Parallel submissions will be rejected from all places they have been submitted to, and further actions may be taken!

A sharp limit of 15 pages, not including references and appendices, in standard LNCS format (see LNCS author instructions) is placed on all submissions. The paper should be intelligible and self contained without appendices, as committee members are not required to read appendices. The submission receipt deadline is November 15, 2005, 5:59pm EST. The paper must be fully anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references. The paper must start with a title, an abstract, and keywords. It should be followed by a succinct statement appropriate for a non-specialist reader, specifying the subject addressed, its background, the 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 workshop. Submissions not meeting the guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.
