About the conference

The International Conference on Cryptology and Network Security (CANS)
is a premier forum for presenting research in the field of cryptology
and network security. The conference seeks academic, industry, and
government submissions on all theoretical and practical aspects of
cryptology and network security. This year marks the 24th iteration of
the conference and will be held at Osaka, Japan. Proceedings of this
year's conference will be published by Springer LNCS; proceedings of
previous iterations of the conference can be found online.

Submission guidelines

High quality papers on unpublished research and implementation
experiences may be submitted. All papers must be original and not
substantially duplicate work that has been published at, or is
simultaneously submitted to, a journal or another conference or workshop
with proceedings. All submissions must be written in English and span no
more than 20 pages in the Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS) format, including title, abstract, and bibliography. The
introduction should summarize the contributions of the paper at a level
understandable by a non-expert reader and explain the context to related
work.
Submitted papers may contain supplementary material in the form of
well-marked appendices or a separate file archive (particularly for
source code, data files, etc.). Note that supplementary material will
not be included in the proceedings. Moreover, the main paper should be
intelligible without requiring the reader to consult the supplementary
material; the reviewers may optionally refer to the supplementary
material, but are also permitted to base their assessment on the main
paper alone.

Submissions must be anonymous (no author names, affiliations,
acknowledgments, or obvious references). The conference will also
consider short papers of up to eight pages in the LNCS format, excluding
the bibliography (max 2 pages), for results that are not yet fully
fleshed out or that simply require fewer pages to describe but still
make a significant contribution.
All submissions must be processed with LaTeX2e according to the
instructions given by Springer. Submitted manuscripts must be typeset in
plain Springer LNCS format, in particular without changing the font
size, margins or line spacing. Submissions not meeting these guidelines
may be rejected without consideration of their merits.
Papers must be submitted via EasyChair. The deadline for submissions is
17 April anywhere on earth (AoE).

Presentation requirements
At least one author of every accepted paper must register and pay the
full registration fee (non-student) for the conference by the early
registration deadline indicated by the organizers. Papers without a
registered author will be removed from the sessions. Authors must
present their own paper(s). Session proceedings, including all accepted
papers, will be published in LNCS and will be available at the
conference.
