of cryptography, information security, and network security,
as in previous IWSEC workshops. In particular, we encourage
the following topics in this year:

Big Data Analysis for Security Critical Infrastructure Security
Cryptanalysis Cryptographic Protocols
Cybersecurity Economics Digital Forensics
Enriched Cryptography Financial Security
Formal Methods Information Law and Ethics
IoT security Machine Learning for Security
Malware Countermeasures Measurements for Cybersecurity
Multiparty Computation Post Quantum Cryptography
Privacy Preserving Rational Cryptography
Real World Cryptography Security Management

** Instructions for Authors **

Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted
to other conferences or journals for consideration for publication.
Papers must be written in English and be fully anonymous with no
author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references.
They should be at most 16 pages long in total (including bibliography
and appendices), in the standard LNCS format (except for author names
and affiliations). They should be submitted electronically in PDF
format. A detailed description of the electronic submission procedure
will be available at the workshop website. Submissions not meeting the
submission guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their
merits. A part of papers may be accepted as short papers. At least
one author of each accepted paper is required to register with the
workshop until final version due, and is also required to present
the paper in the conference. If no author registers or presents
the paper, the paper will be rejected regardless of the reasons.
Note that, if your paper is accepted, the title and the author list
in your submission cannot be changed when preparing the final version
without the approval of the program co-chairs.
