Original research papers on technical aspects of symmetric cryptology
are invited for submission to the Fast Software Encryption workshop

symmetric cryptography: secret key ciphers, the design and
cryptanalysis of block and stream ciphers, as well as hash functions
and message authentication codes (MACs). FSE 2004 is the eleventh
annual FSE workshop, for the third year sponsored by the International
Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR), and organized in

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 international conference or workshop.

Submission Format

The submission 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 submission
should be at most 12 pages excluding bibliography and appendices. 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. It is strongly
preferred that submissions be processed in LaTeX according to the
instructions listed on http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html,
since this will be a mandatory requirement for the final papers.

Submission

Submitted papers must be in PDF
(http://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/a1/pdfcreat.htm) or postscript format and
should be submitted electronically to fse2004@isical.ac.in. In the
email body should be included name and address of all authors as well
as an email address to the corresponding author.

Submission deadline: November 10, 2003.

Decisions and Presentation

Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to authors by
December 30, 2003. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that
their paper will be presented at the conference.
