Workshop on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems
(CHES)
http://ece.WPI.EDU/Research/crypt/ches
Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Worcester, Massachusetts, USA
August 12 & 13, 1999
Third and Final Call for Papers
General Information
The focus of this workshop is on all aspects of cryptographic hardware and
embedded system design. The workshop will be a forum of new results from the
research community as well as from the industry. Of special interest are
contributions that describe new methods for efficient hardware
implementations and high-speed software for embedded systems, e.g., smart
cards, microprocessors, DSPs, etc. We hope that the workshop will help
to fill the gap between the cryptography research community and the
application areas of cryptography. Consequently, we encourage submission
from academia, industry, and other organizations. All submitted papers will
be reviewed.
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Computer architectures for public-key cryptosystems
* Computer architectures for secret-key cryptosystems
* Reconfigurable computing and applications in cryptography
* Cryptographic processors and co-processors
* Modular and Galois field arithmetic architectures
* Tamper resistance on the chip and board level
* Architectures for smart cards
* Tamper resistance for smart cards
* Efficient algorithms for embedded processors
* Special-purpose hardware for cryptanalysis
* Fast network encryption
* True and pseudo random number generators

Instructions for Authors
Authors are invited to submit original papers. The preferred submission form
is by electronic mail to ches@ece.orst.edu. Papers should be formatted in
12pt type and not exceed 12 pages (not including the title page and the
bibliography). The title page should contain the author's name, address
(including email address and an indication of the corresponding author), an
abstract, and a small list of key words. Please submit the paper in
Postscript or PDF. We recommend that you generate the PS or PDF file using
LaTeX, however, MS Word is also acceptable. All submissions will be
refereed.
Only original research contributions will be considered. Submissions must
not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors have published
elsewhere or have submitted in parallel to any other conferences or
workshops that have proceedings.
Workshop Proceedings
The post-proceedings will be published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes
in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Notice that in order to be included
in the proceedings, the authors of an accepted paper must guarantee to
present their contribution at the workshop.

Location
WPI is in Worcester, the second largest city in New England. The city is 80
km (50 miles) West of Boston and 280 km (175 miles) North-East of New York
City.
Worcester is home to a wealth of cultural treasures, many of which are just
a short distance from WPI. These include the historic Higgins Armory Museum,
which houses one of the world's largest collections of armor; the EcoTarium
(formerly New England Science Center), one of the only museums in the
country dedicated to environmental education; and the beautifully restored
Mechanics Hall, one of America's finest concert halls. The Worcester Art
Museum, holding one of the nation's finest collections, and the
world-renowned American Antiquarian Society, with the largest collection of
items printed during the nation's colonial period, are within two blocks of
the WPI campus. Worcester is also well known for its ten colleges, which
cooperate through the Colleges of Worcester Consortium.
Recreation areas within easy driving distance include Boston and Cape Cod to
the east, the White and Green mountains to the north, and the Berkshires to
the west.
August weather in New England is usually very pleasant with average
temperatures of 20 C (70 F).
