Система компьютерной алгебры GAP - 1st Int. Conf. on Symbolic Computation and Cryptography
SCC 2008 First International Conference on Symbolic Computation and Cryptography http://www.cc4cm.org/scc2008
Beijing, China, April 28-30, 2008
FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
SCC 2008 is the first of a new series of conferences where research and development in symbolic computation and cryptography may be presented and discussed. It is organized in response to the growing interest in applying and developing methods, techniques, and software
tools of symbolic computation for cryptography. The use of lattice reduction algorithms in cryptology and the application of Groebner bases in the context of algebraic attacks are typical examples of explored applications.
SCC 2008 aims at providing an interactive forum for interested researchers to exchange ideas and views, to present research results and progress, and to learn and discuss recent developments and emerging problems on
- the design, modeling,
and analysis of cryptographic systems and protocols for which symbolic computation may be used or needed, and - the design, implementation, and analysis of algorithms and software tools of symbolic computation that may have potential applications in cryptography.
TOPICS
Specific topics for SCC 2008 include, but are not limited to:
- Multivariate cryptography, braid group cryptography, noncommutative cryptography, and quantum cryptography - Code-based, factorization-based, and lattice-based cryptography - Algebraic attacks for block ciphers, stream ciphers, and hash functions - Design and analysis of algebraic, elliptic, and embedded cryptographic systems and protocols - Groebner basis techniques in cryptology, algebraic number theory, and coding theory - Triangular sets and new techniques for solving algebraic systems over finite fields - Algorithms and software for symbolic computation
in cryptography
INVITED SPEAKERS
Bruno Buchberger (Johannes Kepler Universitaet Linz, Austria) Arjen K. Lenstra (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Switzerland) (to be confirmed) Adi Shamir (Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel) Xiaoyun Wang (Tsinghua University and Shandong University, China)
SUBMISSION
Potential participants of SCC 2008 are invited
to submit extended abstracts of 3-5 pages or full papers describing their work to be presented at the conference. The submitted extended abstracts and full papers will be reviewed by members of the program committee (PC) for soundness and relevance to the conference. Submission of original research papers is encouraged, while published material and work in progress will also be considered for presentation at the conference. Extended abstracts and full papers should be prepared
using LaTeX with the style file available on the SCC 2008 webpage and according to the instructions given therein. Submissions must be done electronically via EasyChair at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scc2008 or sent in PDF or PS format as e-mail attachments to scc2008 at cc4cm dot org
Accepted extended abstracts and full papers will be printed in the proceedings of SCC 2008 for distribution
at the conference.
PUBLICATION
Authors of the extended abstracts and full papers accepted for presentation at the conference will be invited to submit their full and/or revised papers for publication in special issues of Mathematics in Computer Science (MCS - http://www.cc4cm.org/mcs) by Birkhauser/Springer after the meeting. The submitted papers will be formally reviewed by PC members and external referees according
to the standard refereeing procedure of MCS.
IMPORTANT DATES
Deadline for extended abstract submission: February 17, 2008 Notification of acceptance or rejection: March 16, 2008 Conference taking place: April 28-30, 2008 Deadline for full paper submission: June 30, 2008
