AsiaPKC 2013 - ACM Asia Public-Key Cryptography Workshop

Public-key cryptography plays an essential role in processing various kinds of data while assuring different flavors of cryptographic properties. The theme of this workshop is focused on novel public-key cryptosystems and techniques that can be used to solve a wide range of real-life application problems. This workshop solicits original contributions on both applied and theoretic aspects of public-key cryptography.
The proceedings will be published by ACM Press as conference proceedings in USB thumb drives and in ACM digital library (i.e., the same as how the proceedings of ACM AsiaCCS 2013 will be published). Final proceedings versions for regular papers will be 10 pages and for short papers will be 6 pages, both in ACM standard double-column format.
Topics of interest to the workshop include, but at not limited to:
--Applied public-key cryptography for solving emerging application problems
--Provably-secure public-key primitives and protocols
--Key management for, and by, public-key cryptosystems
--Privacy-preserving cryptographic computations
--Two-party and multi-party computations
--Homomorphic public-key cryptosystems
--Attributed-based and functional public-key cryptography
--Digital signatures with special properties
--System security properties of public-key cryptography
--Post-quantum public-key cryptography
--Fast implementation of public-key cryptosystems

Instructions for authors:
Submission must be written in English. Submitted papers must be no longer than 10 pages excluding references and appendices, and no longer than 12 pages overall. Committee members are not obligated to read appendices, and a paper must be intelligible without the appendices. Submitted papers must be in the double-column ACMSIG Proceedings format (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-t..., both Option 1 and Option 2 on the page are fine) with page numbers marked. No changes to margins, spacing, or font sizes are allowed from those specified by the style file. The workshop reserves the right to request the source files for a submission to verify compliance with these requirements. Submitted papers must be PDF files.
Submitted papers must be appropriately anonymized. No information about author's name should be identifiable from the paper (including abstract, related work, references). When citing one’s own previous work, third person should be used. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or are simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference or workshop. Simultaneous submission of the same work is prohibited. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be presented at the workshop. The Program Committee reserves the right to reject any paper that does not abide by the rules without considering its technical merits.
