Call for Papers

Latincrypt 2012

Second International Conference on Cryptology
and Information Security in Latin America

(In cooperation with The International
Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR))

October 7-10, 2012, Santiago, Chile
===================================

Latincrypt 2012 (http://2012.latincrypt.org/) is the Second
International Conference on Cryptology and Information Security in
Latin America, and will take place from October 7th to October 10th
2012 in Santiago, Chile. Latincrypt 2012 is being organized by
CLCERT, Univ. of Chile, in cooperation with The International
Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR).


Call for Papers:

Original papers on all technical aspects of cryptology are solicited
for submission to Latincrypt 2012. The conference seeks original
contributions on new cryptographic primitive proposals, cryptanalysis,
security models, hardware and software implementation aspects,
cryptographic protocols and applications, as well as submissions about
cryptographic aspects of network security, complexity-theoretic
cryptography, information theory, coding theory, number theory, and
quantum computing.


Important Dates:

Submission deadline: May 4, 2012 (23:59 GMT)
Notification: June 29, 2012
Final version: July 13, 2012
Conference: October 7-10, 2012


Instructions for Authors:

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 with formally published proceedings.
Information about submissions may be shared with program chairs of
other conferences for the purpose of detecting duplication. Accepted
submissions may not appear in any other conference or workshop with
proceedings.

Submissions must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations,
acknowledgments, or obvious references. Each submission should begin
with a title, a short abstract, a list of keywords, and an
introduction that summarizes the contributions of the paper at a level
appropriate for a non-specialist reader. The page limit for submissions
is 12 pages in LNCS format (see http://www.springeronline.com/lncs)
excluding references and clearly marked appendices, and at most 20
pages in all, using at least 11-point font and reasonable margins. The
final versions of accepted papers will be limited to 20 pages
including references and appendices. Reviewers are not required to
read the appendices, so the paper should be intelligible and self-
contained without them. Submissions not meeting these guidelines
risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

Papers must be submitted electronically. The electronic-submission
site will soon be available at https://2012.latincrypt.org/ichair/.
Submissions must conform to this procedure. Late submissions and
non-electronic submissions will not be considered. No new submissions
will be accepted after the submission deadline (May 4th, 2012). Authors
of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented
at the conference. Program committee members are allowed to submit one
paper, and a second one if co-authored by a student. Any PC member
submission will be held to higher standards than other submissions.

It is the intention that accepted papers will be published in
Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science and will be available
at the conference. Instructions about the preparation of a final
proceedings version will be sent to the authors of accepted papers.
It is encouraged that the submission be processed in LaTeX2e
according to the instructions listed on
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. These instructions
are mandatory for the final papers. Notification of acceptance or
rejection will be sent to authors by June 29th, 2012.
