Important Dates

Submission Deadline: September 3, 2016 — 23:59 PDT (UTC-7)
Notification : November 7, 2016
Final Version of the Paper : November 21, 2016

All papers accepted for presentation will appear in the conference proceedings and will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (www.springer.com/lncs). Authors of accepted papers must make their paper available online.

Submission Instructions

All submissions should be uploaded to the IACR WebReview system [link to be announced] in pdf format by the September 3rd deadline.

Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published in a journal or in a conference or workshop with proceedings, or has submitted or is planning to submit before the author notification deadline to a journal or other conferences or workshops that have proceedings. Accepted submissions may not appear in any other conference or workshop that has proceedings.
Submissions must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references. Each submission should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords. Submissions should be at most 16 pages including the bibliography and should use the Springer LNCS format with no changes to the margins or fonts. Supplementary materials may be appended without a page limit, but reviewers are not required to read them. Submissions should be intelligible and self-contained within the 16 page bound. The same bound will be applied to those papers accepted for publication in the proceedings. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

Authors should report any “conflicts” with program committee members listed below. A conflict exists if an author and committee member have the same affiliation or have been co-authors on a paper within the past two years.
