================================== SCN 2022 Thirteenth Conference on Security and Cryptography for Networks September 12-14, 2022, Amalfi, Italy https://scn.unisa.it/ ================================== SCOPE ==================== The Thirteenth Conference on Security and Cryptography for Networks (SCN 2022) aims to bring together researchers in the field of cryptography and information security, practitioners, developers, and users to foster cooperation, exchange techniques, tools, experiences and ideas. The conference seeks submissions from academia, government, and industry presenting novel research on all practical and theoretical aspects of cryptography and information security. The primary focus is on original, high quality, unpublished research of theoretical and practical impact, including concepts, techniques, applications and practical experiences. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference/workshop with proceedings. PARTICIPATION ==================== The intention of the organisers is to hold a physical event. However, the SCN may switch to a hybrid/virtual mode whenever required by the National or local authorities or if deemed necessary. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference. In any case, speakers who may not feel comfortable in travelling at the time of the conference will be able to present their work remotely. TOPICS ==================== All topic areas related to cryptography and information security are of interest and in scope. Suggested topics include but are not restricted to: Anonymity and Privacy Applied Cryptography and Implementations Authentication, Identification and Access Control Block and Stream Ciphers Complexity-Theoretic Cryptography Cryptanalysis Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain Cryptographic Hash Functions Cryptographic Protocols Digital Signatures and Message Authentication Codes Distributed Systems Security Elliptic-Curve Cryptography Formal Security Methods Information-Theoretic Security Post-quantum Cryptography Public-Key Encryption Physical Cryptography SUMISSIONS ==================== Authors are invited to submit electronically (PDF format) a non-anonymous extended abstract. We strongly encourage to typeset the extended abstract using Springer's LNCS LaTeX package with no changes to the style. 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 24 pages, including bibliography but excluding clearly marked appendices. Within these 24 pages, the submission 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 a journal or to any other conference or workshop with proceedings. Submissions deviating significantly from these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. All submissions will be treated as confidential, and will only be disclosed to the committee and their chosen sub-referees. Papers should be submitted electronically via the conference website. PROCEEDINGS ==================== The proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
