CALL FOR PAPERS

Potential participants of SCC 2012 are invited to submit extended abstracts of 3-5 pages or full papers (with at most 14 pages) describing their work to be presented at the conference. The submitted extended abstracts and full papers will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee  for soundness and relevance to the conference. Submission of original research papers is encouraged, while published material and work in progress will also be considered for presentation at the conference.

Specific topics for SCC 2012 include, but are not limited to:

• Multivariate cryptography, braid group cryptography, non-commutative cryptography, and quantum cryptography.
• Code-based, factorization-based, and lattice-based cryptography.
• Algebraic attacks for block ciphers, stream ciphers, and hash functions.
• Design and analysis of algebraic, elliptic, and embedded cryptographic systems and protocols.
• Gröbner basis techniques in cryptology, algebraic number theory, and coding theory.
• Triangular sets and new techniques for solving algebraic systems over finite fields.
• Algorithms and software for symbolic computation in cryptography.

Extended abstracts and full papers should be prepared using Springer's LNCS LaTeX style file
(available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/author.html) and according to the instructions given therein.
Submissions must be done preferably electronically via EasyChair at:
                                      http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scc2012
or sent in PDF format as e-mail attachments to scc2012-pc_AT_easychair.org.
