General Information
FSE 2013 is the 20th anniversary annual Fast Software Encryption workshop, for the twelveth year sponsored by the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR). FSE 2013 will take place in Singapore. Original research papers on symmetric cryptology are invited for submission to FSE 2013. The workshop concentrates on fast and secure primitives for symmetric cryptography, including the design and analysis of block ciphers, stream ciphers, hash functions, message authentication codes (MACs), authenticated encryptions, encryption schemes, and analysis and evaluation tools.
Instructions for Authors
Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published in a journal or a conference/workshop with proceedings, or has submitted/is planning to submit before the author notification deadline to a journal or other conferences/workshops that have proceedings. Accepted submissions may not appear in any other conference or workshop that has proceedings. IACR reserves the right to share information about submissions with other program committees to detect parallel submissions and the IACR policy on irregular submissions will be strictly enforced.
The submission must be written in English and be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references. It should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords. The length of the submission should be at most 14 pages excluding bibliography and appendices using single column with at least 11pt size font, reasonably sized margins and in total not more than 20 pages. The introduction should summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. Committee members are not required to read appendices; the paper should be intelligible without them. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.
Submissions to FSE 2013 should be submitted electronically in PDF format. A detailed description of the electronic submission procedure will be available on FSE 2013 website.
The authors of submitted papers guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop if their paper is accepted.
PreProceedings
Preproceedings will be available at the workshop. Authors of accepted papers will be required to complete the IACR copyright assignment form, as available on the IACR website, for their work to be published in the workshop final proceedings. The length of the paper should be at most 20 pages with default font size for lncs proceedings (10.5pt), including bibliography and appendices.
Workshop Information and Stipends
The primary source of information is the workshop website http://fse2013.spms.ntu.edu.sg/. A limited number of stipends are available to those unable to obtain funding to attend the workshop.
