Call for Papers
The Workshop on Selected Areas in Cryptography (SAC) is an annual
conference dedicated to specific themes in the area of cryptographic system design and analysis.
Authors are encouraged to submit original
papers related to the
themes for the SAC 2004 workshop:
- Design and analysis of symmetric key cryptosystems
- Primitives for symmetric key cryptography, including block and stream ciphers, hash functions, and MAC algorithms
- Efficient implementations of symmetric and public key algorithms
- Cryptographic solutions for mobile (web) services
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.
Papers must be submitted electronically. Detailed description of the
electronic submission procedure is available
here.
Submissions must conform to this procedure.
We recommend that the PS or PDF file of each paper be generated using
LaTeX and the LNCS style available at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs.
The submission must not exceed 15 pages in total using the
font sizes and margins of the LNCS style.
Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without
consideration of their merits.
Conference Proceedings
The proceedings will be published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) Series
(
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html).
As in previous years, the Workshop Record will be available to participants
during the Workshop.
Instructions about the preparation of a final
proceedings version will be sent to the authors of accepted papers.
