Call for Papers

The International Conference on Practice and Theory in Public-Key Cryptography (PKC)
is organized annually by the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR).
PKC is IACR's main annual conference focusing specifically on all aspects of Public-Key
Cryptography. The PKC'16 proceedings will be published in Springer's LNCS Series and
will be available at the conference.
Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published
elsewhere, or has submitted in parallel to any journal or any other conference/workshop with
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 to detect parallel submissions.
In order to harmonize submission and publication format, submission text will have the
same limit of 30 pages in LNCS format as the final version. This includes title page and
references. The submission text can be followed by supplementary material of any length.
These rules will be strictly enforced. The paper should be intelligible and self-contained
without the supplementary material, as committee members are not required to read them.
Submissions should be prepared using LaTeX and submitted as PDF using type-1 fonts.
The above guidelines will be strictly enforced. Papers must be submitted electronically; a
detailed description of the electronic submission procedure will be provided.
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.
An author of each accepted paper is required to register and present the paper at the
conference.
