Financial Cryptography and Data Security (FC14)
18th International Conference March 3-7, 2014 Accra Beach Hotel & Spa, Barbados http://fc14.ifca.ai/ Call for Papers Mandatory Abstract Submission: October 25, 2013, 23:59 UTC (firm) Paper Submission: November 2, 2013, 23:59 UTC (firm) Financial Cryptography and Data Security is a major international forum for research, advanced development, education, exploration, and debate regarding information assurance, with a specific focus on financial, economic and commercial transaction security. Original works focusing on securing commercial transactions and systems are solicited; fundamental as well as applied real-world deployments on all aspects surrounding commerce security are of interest. Submissions need not be exclusively concerned with cryptography. Systems security, economic or financial modeling, and, more generally, inter-disciplinary efforts are particularly encouraged. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: Anonymity and Privacy Applications of Game Theory to Security Auctions and Audits Authentication and Identification Behavioral Aspects of Security and Privacy Biometrics Certification and Authorization Cloud Computing Security Commercial Cryptographic Applications Contactless Payment and Ticketing Systems Data Outsourcing Security Digital Rights Management Digital Cash and Payment Systems Economics of Security and Privacy Electronic Crime and Underground-Market Economics Electronic Commerce Security Fraud Detection Identity Theft Legal and Regulatory Issues Microfinance and Micropayments Mobile Devices and Applications Security and Privacy Phishing and Social Engineering Reputation Systems Risk Assessment and Management Secure Banking and Financial Web Services Smartcards, Secure Tokens and Secure Hardware Smart Grid Security and Privacy Social Networks Security and Privacy Trust Management Usability and Security Virtual Goods and Virtual Economies Voting Systems Web Security Important Dates Workshop Proposal Submission July 31, 2013 Workshop Proposal Notification August 20, 2013 Mandatory Abstract Submission October 25, 2013, 23:59 UTC (firm) Paper Submission November 2, 2013, 23:59 UTC (firm) Paper Notification December 22, 2013 Final Papers January 31, 2014 Poster and Panel Submission January 8, 2014 Poster and Panel Notification January 15, 2014 Conference March 3-7, 2014 Submission Submissions are sought in the following categories: (i) regular papers (15 pg LNCS format excluding references and appendices and maximum of 18 pg, i.e., 3 pg of references/appendices), (ii) short papers (8 pg LNCS format in total), (iii) panels and workshop proposals (2pg), and (iv) posters (1 pg). Committee members are not required to read the appendices, so the full papers should be intelligible without them. The regular and short paper submissions must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references. In contrast, panel, workshop proposal, and poster submissions must include author names and affiliations. Papers must be formatted in standard LNCS format and submitted as PDF files. Submissions in other formats will be rejected. All papers must be submitted electronically according to the instructions and forms found here and at the submission site. For each accepted paper the conference requires at least one registration at the general or academic rate. Authors may only submit work that does not substantially overlap with work that is currently submitted or has been accepted for publication to a conference/workshop with proceedings or a journal. We consider double submission serious research fraud and will treat it as such. In case of doubt contact the program chairs for any clarifications at fc14chair@ifca.ai. (mailto:fc14chair@ifca.ai.) IMPORTANT THIS YEAR: Abstracts must be registered by October 25 for both short and regular research papers. Papers whose abstract has not been submitted in time will not be considered. Registering abstracts that are currently under review at other venues is allowed, provided that the paper is either no longer under review at another venue or withdrawn from consideration before the submission deadline (November 2). Regular Research Papers Research papers should describe novel, previously unpublished scientific contributions to the field, and they will be subject to rigorous peer review. Accepted submissions will be included in the conference proceedings to be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Submissions are limited to 15 pages excluding references and maximum of 18 pages (i.e., 3 pages of references and appendices). Committee members are not required to read the appendices, so the full papers should be intelligible without them. Regular papers must be anonymous with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references. Short Papers Short papers are also subject to peer review, however, the intention is to encourage authors to introduce work in progress, novel applications and corporate/industrial experiences. Short papers will be evaluated with a focus on novelty and potential for sparking participants' interest and future research avenues. Short paper submissions are limited to 8 pages in standard LNCS format in total. The paper title for short papers should necessarily include the text "Short Paper." Short papers must be anonymous with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references. Panel Proposals We especially would like to encourage submissions of panel proposals. These should include a very brief description of the panel topics, as well as of the prospective panelists. Accepted panel sessions will be presented at the conference. Moreover, each participant will contribute a one-page abstract to be published in the conference proceedings. Please feel free to contact us directly if you would like to further discuss the suitability of a certain topic. Panel submissions must not be anonymous and should be up to 2 pages, sent to fc14chair@ifca.ai. (mailto:fc14chair@ifca.ai.) Posters The poster session is the perfect venue to share a provocative opinion, interesting established or preliminary work, or a cool idea that will spark discussion. Poster presenters will benefit from a multi-hour session to discuss their work, get exposure, and receive feedback from attendees. Poster submissions should be a 1-page abstract (in the same LNCS format) describing the poster. Please keep in mind that the poster deadline is later than the main paper submission deadline. The poster abstracts will be published in the proceedings. Poster proposals must not be anonymous and should be sent to the posters chair at fc14chair@ifca.ai (mailto:fc14chair@ifca.ai). Workshop Proposals Proposals for workshops to be held at FC 2014 are also solicited. A workshop can be full day or half day in length. Workshop proposals should include: (i) a title, (ii) a call for papers, (iii) a brief summary and justification - including how it would fit into the greater FC scope, (iv) a (tentative) Program Committee and its Chair, (v) one-paragraph biographies for key organizers, and (vi) the expected (or previous - if workshop has been held in previous years) number of submissions, participants and acceptance rates. Workshop proposals must not be anonymous and should be sent to fc14workshops@ifca.ai. The Rump Session FC 2014 will also include the popular "rump session" held on one of the evenings in an informal, social atmosphere. The rump session is a program of short (5-7 minute), informal presentations on works in progress, off-the-cuff ideas, and any other matters pertinent to the conference. Any conference attendee is welcome to submit a presentation to the Rump Session Chair (to be announced at the conference). This submission should consist of a talk title, the name of the presenter, and, if desired, a very brief abstract. Submissions may be sent via e-mail, or submitted in person in the morning on the day of the session. Student Stipends We are pleased to announce the availability of enhanced financial support for students attending FC14. We anticipate awarding student stipends that would cover conference registration fees and reimburse travel expenses up to $1,000. Preference will be given to students who will be presenting at the conference or associated workshops, but all student participants are encouraged to apply. If you are interested in applying for stipend support, please email the FC2014 general chair at fc14general@ifca.ai with subject line "student stipend" and a letter of support from your home institution.
