Possible subtopics include: New hash functions and algorithms New criteria for good hash functions New or improved techniques for collision finding Infrastructure and transition issues New measures of hash function strength Submissions will be evaluated by a parallel subcommittee of experts (to be announced soon). Submissions to this special event should follow the regular submission procedure, indicating "Submission to hash session" under "Key words". Important Dates: Submission Deadline: March 30, 2007, 11pm GMT Notification of acceptance: June 6, 2007 Camera-ready deadline: July 2, 200 Instruction for Authors: ISC2007 welcomes original papers from academic, government, and industry. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register with the conference and present the paper. All submissions should be appropriately anonymized (i.e., papers should not contain author names or affiliations, or obvious citations). Each paper should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords, following the LNCS template rule by Springer. The papers should be in pdf format, at most 12 pages long excluding bibliography and well-marked appendices, and at most 16 pages long in total, using at least 11-point fonts with reasonable margins.
