******************************************************************************

The International Conference on Cryptology and Network Security (CANS) 
is an annual conference focusing on all aspects of cryptology and 
network security, attracting cutting-edge results from world-renowned 
scientists in the area. Proceedings of CANS are published in Springer's 
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.  They are distributed at the 
conference and are included in all major online databases.

The 14th edition of the conference will be held in Marrakesh, Morrocco, 
organized by the IPI, IGS-group, AMAN, and ENSEM.  Earlier editions of 
CANS were held in Taipei (2001), San Francisco (2002), Miami (2003),

Kanazawa (2009), Kuala Lumpur (2010), Sanya (2011), Darmstadt (2012), 
Parary (2013), and Crete (2014).  CANS 2015 is held in cooperation with 
the International Association of Cryptologic Research (IACR).

OVERVIEW
Papers offering novel research contributions are solicited.  The 
conference focus is on original, high-quality, unpublished research and 
implementation results.  Especially encouraged are submissions of papers 
suggesting novel paradigms, original directions, or non-traditional 
perspectives.  Also of particular interest this year are papers on 
network security, from modeling, measurement, engineering, and attack 
perspectives.

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have 
been published or that are submitted in parallel to a journal or a 
conference with formally published proceedings.
