The Eighth International Conference on Provable Security (ProvSec 2014) will be held in Hong Kong on 9-10
October 2014. It will be organized by University of Hong Kong. Provable security is an important research area in modern cryptography. Cryptographic primitives or protocols without a rigorous proof cannot be regarded as secure in practice. In fact, there are many schemes that were originally thought as secure but eventually broken, which clearly indicates the need of formal security assurance. With provable security, we are confident in using cryptographic schemes and protocols in various real-world applications. Meanwhile, schemes with provable security sometimes give only theoretical feasibility rather than a practical construction, and correctness of the proofs may be difficult to verify. ProvSec conference thus provides a platform for researchers, scholars and practitioners to exchange new ideas for solving these problems in the provable security area. The previous ProvSec conference series were successfully held in Wollongong, Australia (2007), Shanghai, China (2008), Guangzhou, China (2009), Malacca, Malaysia (2010), Xi’an, China (2011), Chengdu, China (2012) and Malacca, Malaysia (2013). The conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Conference Topics: All aspects of provable security for cryptographic primitives or protocols, include but are not limited to the following areas: • Asymmetric provably secure cryptography • Cryptographic primitives • Lattice-based security reductions • Leakage-resilient cryptography • Pairing-based provably secure cryptography • Privacy and anonymity technologies • Provable secure block ciphers and hash functions • Secure cryptographic protocols and applications • Security notions, approaches, and paradigms • Steganography and steganalysis Special issues: Journal: Security and Communication Networks (SCN) Topic: Special Issue on “Provably Secure Cryptographic Solutions for Wireless Networks” We are further discussing with other journals for special issues of selected papers published in ProvSec (after significant extension). More details will be announced later. Important Dates: Conference date: 9-10 October 2014 Paper submission deadline: 20 June 2014 Notification of acceptance: 23 July 2014 Proceedings version deadline: 12 August 2014 Conference Organization: General Co-Chairs: Lucas C.K.
