CALL FOR PAPERS (ICITS 2017)
http://www.inc.cuhk.edu.hk/icits2017/

10th International Conference on
Information Theoretic Security (ICITS 2017), Hong Kong, Nov.29-Dec.2,
2017 ==============================================

ICITS 2017 is held in Cooperation with IACR (International Association
for Cryptologic Research). ICITS deals with all aspects of information
theoretic security, from relevant mathematical tools to theoretical
modeling to implementation. Papers on all technical aspects of these
topics are solicited for submission. As the goal of ICITS is to bring
together researchers on all aspects of information theoretic security,
it consists of two tracks, Conference Track and Workshop Track, with
different types of contributed presentations (see INSTRUCTIONS FOR
AUTHORS below).

IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline (both tracks):  June 5, 2017 (23:59 UTC) Decision
notification:  August 14, 2017 Final version deadline:  August 25,
2017

RELATED TOPICS
Areas of interest include, but are not restricted to:
Post-quantum cryptography (e.g. lattices & cryptography), Quantum
cryptography, Quantum information theory, Nonlocality and
non-signaling, Physical layer security, Wiretap channels, Adversarial
channel models, Cryptography from noisy channels, Bounded storage
models, Network coding security, Biometric security, Randomness
extraction, Key and message rates, Secret sharing, Authentication
codes, Multiparty computations, Information theoretic reductions,
Implementation challenges.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

(1) Conference Track (with proceedings):
Submissions must not substantially duplicate work published elsewhere
or submitted in parallel to a journal or any other conference/workshop
that has proceedings. The submission must be anonymous, with no author
names, affiliations, or obvious references. The length of the
submission must be at most 16 pages excluding bibliography and
appendices, and at most 30 pages in total. The text must be in a
single column format, use at least 11-point fonts, and have reasonable
margins. The submission should begin with a title and a short
abstract. The introduction should summarize the contributions of the
paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. Committee
members are not required to read appendices, and the paper should be
intelligible without them. Submissions must be in PDF format.
Submissions not meeting the submission guidelines risk rejection
without consideration of their merits. Accepted papers will be
presented at the conference and will appear in the conference
proceedings. The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in
its Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series. At least one
author of each accepted paper must register with the conference and
present the paper.

(2) Workshop Track (no proceedings): Authors may submit an original
manuscript, or a paper published elsewhere as long as it first
appeared after May 1, 2016. As with the conference track, submissions
should begin with a title and short abstract followed by an
introduction that summarizes the contributions at a level appropriate
for a non-specialist reader. Information about previous publication,
if any, should be indicated on the first page of the submission.
Submissions must be in PDF format. Beyond these guidelines no specific
format is required. In particular, (a) papers previously published
elsewhere may be submitted in their published form provided
bibliographic information is clearly indicated; (b) short summaries of
works available in other venues or online (on the arXiv or IACR
eprint) are acceptable; (c) original submissions may be left anonymous
at the discretion of the authors. (Previously published submissions
cannot be anonymous.)
