on Practice and Theory
in Public Key Cryptography
(PKC'99)

Kamakura Prince Hotel
Kamakura,Kanagawa, Japan
1-3 March, 1999

CALL FOR PAPERS

Following the highly successful PKC'98 which was held last February, there have been a large number of requests from the data security community on organizing a follow-up conference in the new international workshop series dedicated to the practice and theory of public key cryptography. In response to the requests, PKC'99 will be held in the ancient capital of Kamakura, Japan, 1-3 March, 1999.

Scope:

Both original research papers and high quality surveys pertaining to all aspects of public key encryption, digital signature and one-way hashing are solicited. Submissions may present theory, techniques, applications and practical experience on topics including, but not limited to:

certification and time-stamping
cryptanalysis
comparison and assessment
discrete logarithm
elliptic curve cryptography
encryption data formats
fast implementation
integer factorization
international standards
key-ed one-way hashing
lattice reduction
one-way hashing algorithms
provable security
public key infrastructure
secure electronic commerce
signature data formats
signcryption schemes

Instructions for Authors:

All correspondences, including submissions, will be made through e-mail. The program committee invites both original technical contributions and high quality surveys. A submission should be clearly marked either as an original paper or a survey. All submissions will be blind-refereed. In lodging a submission, please send two separate e-mail messages to

pkc99@imailab.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp

The first message must be in ASCII format. It should include information on

whether the submission is a survey or an original contribution,
the title of the submission,
the names and affiliations of authors, and
the e-mail, telephone and facsimile numbers of the contact author.

The second message should contain the submission itself:

The first page should contain the title of the submission, but must not contain the names or affiliations of the authors.
The submission should be prepared using 11-point font or larger, with at most 15 A4/US-letter pages including bibliographies and appendices. (Authors are strongly encouraged to use LaTeX2e in preparing submissions, which would facilitate the production of the final proceedings, especially the electronic version of the proceedings.),
The preferred page format for submissions is PostScript (obtained using such converters as "dvips").
The file may be compressed using "compress", "gzip" or "zip", and then encoded using "uuencode".

Important Dates:

Submission deadline:	25	September	1998	(Friday)
Acceptance notification:	6	November	1998	(Friday)
Proceedings version:	4	December	1998	(Friday)
Workshop:	1-3	March	1999	(Monday-Wednesday)

Proceedings:

Following the tradition established at PKC'98 whose proceedings have been published as Volume 1431 in Springer Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/), the proceedings of PKC'99 will be published by Springer Verlag too, and distributed to the conference participants at the workshop. For an accepted paper to be included into the proceedings, the authors of the paper must guarantee that at least one of the co-authors will attend the workshop and deliver the talk.

Financial Assistance:

Financial support towards travel, accommodation and workshop registration will be available to a limited number of speakers, especially to those who are young researchers. Authors of accepted papers should contact the organising chair through pkc99@imailab.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp regarding possible financial assistance.
