CALL FOR PAPERS

 
 
SECRYPT is an annual international conference covering research in information and communication security. The 5th International Conference on Security and Cryptography (SECRYPT 2010) will be held in Athens, Greece.  The conference seeks submissions from academia, industry, and government presenting novel research on all theoretical
and practical aspects of data protection, privacy, applications security, and cryptography. Papers describing the application of security technology, the implementation of systems, and lessons
learned are also encouraged. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Area 1: Data and Application Security and Privacy
- Area 2: Access Control and Intrusion Detection
- Area 3: Network Security and Protocols
- Area 4: Cryptographic Techniques and Key Management
- Area 5: Information Assurance
- Area 6: Security in Information Systems and Software Engineering
 

PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings.  All submissions should be appropriately anonymized (i.e., papers should not contain author names or
affiliations, or obvious citations). Submissions are to be made to the submission web site at http://www.insticc.org/Primoris.
 
Two categories of papers can be submitted:
- Regular Paper. A regular paper presents a work where the research is completed or almost finished.  Authors of regular submitted papers will indicate at the time of submission whether they would like their paper to also be considered for publication as a position paper.
- Position Paper: A position paper presents results that are preliminary or that simply require few pages to describe. A position paper may be a short report and discussion of ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures or results of scientific research (bibliographic, experimental, theoretical, or other) focused on one of the conference topic areas. The acceptance of a position paper is restricted to the categories of "short paper" or "poster".
 
Submitted papers should be at most 13 pages in total (for regular papers) and 8 pages in total (for position papers) including the bibliography and well-marked appendices, using 11-point font and reasonable margins on letter-size paper, and should be in single-column format. Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and so the paper should be intelligible without them. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without
consideration of their merits. Submissions must be received by the deadline of February 3, 2010 (midnight Samoa time). Authors of accepted papers/posters must guarantee that their papers/posters will be presented at the conference.
 
Accepted paper will have to be formatted according to the SECRYPT format, which is described at
http://secrypt.icete.org/paper_formats.asp, and adhere to the page limit of 10 pages (for full papers), 6 pages (for short papers), and 4 pages (for posters). Accepted papers/posters will be published in the proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support.
 
A selection of regular papers will be considered for publication of an extended version in an edited book that will be published by Springer-Verlag in a CCIS Series.
