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 that has proceedings.
Submission Format: The paper must 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 paper should
be at most 12 pages excluding bibliography and appendices, and at most 26 pages
total. It should use at least 11-point fonts and have reasonable sized
margins. 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.
Electronic submission: This is strongly encouraged. A detailed description of
the electronic submission procedure will appear by January 21, 2000 at
http://www-cse.ucsd.edu/users/mihir/crypto/electronic.html. Electronic
submissions must conform to this procedure and be received by February 10,
2000, 17:00 EST in order to be considered.
Hardcopy submission: Authors unable to submit electronically are invited to
send a cover letter and 20 hardcopies of their submission (double-sided) to the
Program Chair at the postal address below. Submissions must be received by the
Program Chair on or before February 02, 2000 (or postmarked by January 28,
2000, and sent via airmail or courier). Late submissions and submissions by fax
will not be considered. The cover letter should contain the paper's title and
the names and affiliations of the authors, and should identify the contact
author including e-mail and postal addresses.
Decisions and presentation: Notification of acceptance or rejection
will be sent to authors by April 26, 2000. Authors of accepted papers
must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference.
Conference Proceedings: Proceedings will be published in Springer-Verlag's
Lecture Notes in Computer Science and will be available at the conference.
Clear instructions about the preparation of a final proceedings version will be
sent to the authors of accepted papers. The final copies of the accepted papers
will be due on May 30, 2000.
