PQCrypto 2011, Call for Papers
The PQCrypto conference serves as a forum for researchers to present results and exchange ideas in post-quantum cryptography. Authors are invited to submit original research papers on all technical aspects of cryptographic research related to a future world with large quantum computers. The topics include (but are not restricted to):
- (Public-Key) cryptosystems that have the potential to resist possible future quantum computers such as:
- hash-based Merkle-type signature schemes,
- lattice-based cryptosystems,
- code-based cryptosystems,
- multivariate cryptosystems, and
- quantum cryptographic schemes;
- Classical and quantum attacks including side-channel attacks on the post-quantum cryptosystems;
- Security models for the post-quantum era.
PQCrypto 2011 will be organized jointly by the Department for Electrical Engineering at National Taiwan University, and the Institute for Information Science at Academia Sinica, Taiwan.

Instructions for Authors
Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any other conference or workshop with formally published proceedings. Information about submissions may be shared with program chairs of other conferences for the purpose of detecting duplication. Accepted submissions may not appear in any other conference or workshop with proceedings.
Submissions must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references. Each submission should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords, and an introduction that summarizes the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.
Accepted papers will be published as a volume in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series and will be available at the conference. The page limit for submissions is 16 pages in LNCS format (see http://www.springeronline.com/lncs) including references and appendices. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference. Instructions about the preparation of a final proceedings version will be sent to the authors of accepted papers.
Papers must be submitted electronically. A detailed description of the
electronic submission procedure is available at
Submissions must conform to this procedure. Late submissions and
non-electronic submissions will not be considered.
No new submissions or modifications will be accepted after the submission deadline (June 24);
Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented
at the conference.
