                          SCN 2010

      Seventh Conference on Security and Cryptography for Networks

                September 13-15, 2010, Amalfi, Italy

==================================
Scope

Security and privacy are increasing concerns in computer networks such
as the Internet. The availability of fast, reliable, and cheap
electronic communication offers the opportunity to perform
electronically and in a distributed way a wide range of transactions
of a most diverse nature.  The Seventh Conference on Security and
Cryptography for Networks (SCN 2010) aims at bringing together
researchers in the field of cryptography and security in communication
networks to foster cooperation and exchange of ideas.  Original papers
on all technical aspects of cryptography and security are solicited
for submission to SCN 2010.


Topics of interest are (but not limited to):
Anonymity
Implementations
Authentication
Symmetric-Key Cryptography
Complexity-based Cryptography
Privacy
Cryptanalysis
Cryptographic Protocols
Digital Signatures
Public-Key Cryptography
Hash Functions
Survey and State of the Art
Identification
Formal Methods in Security
Information-Theoretic Security

Submissions

Authors are invited to submit electronically (PDF format) a non-
anonymous extended abstract. The submission should begin with a title,
followed by the names, affiliations and contact information of all
authors, and a short abstract. The length of the submission should be
at most 12 pages excluding the title page, bibliography and
appendices. It should use at least 11- point fonts and have reasonable
sized margins. The extended abstract should clearly indicate the
results achieved, their significance, and their relation to other work
in the area.  Referees are not required to read appendices; the paper
should be intelligible without them. Submissions must not
substantially duplicate work that was published elsewhere, or work
that any of the authors has submitted in parallel to any other
conference or workshop that has proceedings. Program committee members
are restricted to one submission each. The web-based submission form
will be available soon (check the webpage). In case electronic
submission is not possible, authors should contact the organization at
scn@dia.unisa.it.

Proceedings
Proceedings are expected to be published by Springer in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
