AFRICACRYPT 2010, Call for Papers
The conference seeks original contributions in cryptology: We welcome
submissions about new cryptographic primitive proposals,
cryptanalysis, security models, hardware and software implementation
aspects, cryptographic protocols and applications. We also consider
submissions about cryptographic aspects of network security,
complexity theory, information theory, coding theory, number theory,
and quantum computing.
The proceedings of Africacrypt 2010 will be published by Springer Verlag in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
The proceedings will be available during the conference.

Instructions for Authors of Papers
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.
The page limit for submissions is 18 pages
in LNCS format (see http://www.springeronline.com/lncs)
including references and appendices.
Up to 12 pages of additional
supporting information may be provided, but committee members will
read this information at their discretion, so the paper should be
intelligible and self-contained within the 18 page LNCS limit.
The final versions of accepted papers will be limited to
18 pages including references and appendices.
Papers must be submitted electronically. A detailed description of the
electronic submission procedure is available at
https://www.hyperelliptic.org/conferences/iChair/
Submissions must conform to this procedure. Late submissions and
non-electronic submissions will not be considered. No new submissions
will be accepted after the submission of abstracts deadline (Jan 05);
it is still possible to modify the submissions until Jan 10. Authors
of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented
at the conference.
