CALL FOR PAPERS
		Fast Software Encryption Workshop 1999 (FSE6)
	                  March 24-26, 1999, Rome, Italy 


The Fast Software Encryption workshop has been held 5 times, the first
one in Cambridge December 1993, latest in Paris March 1998.  The
workshop concentrates on all aspects of fast secret key ciphers,
including the design and cryptanalysis of block and stream ciphers, as
well as hash functions. The sixth Fast Software Encryption workshop
will be held in March 1999 in Rome, Italy. The workshop is organized
by William Wolfowicz (General Chair) and Lars Knudsen (Program Chair)
in cooperation with Securteam, as far as local arrangements are
concerned.

Instructions for Authors Interested parties are invited to submit
original unpublished papers on the design and analysis of fast
encryption algorithms and hash functions. In particular we encourage
submissions containing proposals for and analysis of candidates for
the future Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). It is strongly
preferred that submissions be processed in LaTeX according to
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html since this will be a
mandatory requirement for the final papers. The paper must not exceed
15 pages in length. The LaTeX files are to be sent electronically,
together with the email and physical addresses of the sender. If
papers are submitted in paper form, 11 copies are required. The papers
must not be submitted simultaneously to other workshops or conferences
with proceedings. Preproceedings will be available at the meeting and
the final proceedings will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture
Notes in Computer Science.
