-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Second Call for Papers for SAC'2014 The conference Selected Areas in Cryptography 2014 (SAC' 2014) will be held at Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on August 14-15, 2014. Authors are encouraged to submit original papers related to the following themes for the SAC 2014 conference. Note that the first three are traditional SAC areas and the fourth topic is intended to be the special focus for this year's conference. 1. Design and analysis of symmetric key primitives and cryptosystems, including block and stream ciphers, hash function, MAC algorithms, cryptographic permutations, and Authenticated Encryption Schemes. 2. Efficient implementations of symmetric and public key algorithms. 3. Mathematical and algorithmic aspects of applied cryptology. 4. Algorithms for cryptography, cryptanalysis and their complexity analysis. Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to a journal or any other conference/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. For further details, see http://www.iacr.org/docs/irregular.html.
