International Conference on Information Technology Coding and Computing ITCC 2004 April 5-7, 2004 Las Vegas, NV, USA Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Special Session CALL FOR PAPERS Embedded Cryptographic Hardware Nadia Nedjah and Luiza de Macedo Mourelle ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The focus of this special session of International Conference on Information Technology: Coding and Computing is on embedded cryptographic hardware. Of special interest are contributions that describe new methods and architectures for high performance embedded cryptographic hardware. The conference proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: a.. Computer architectures for public-key cryptosystems b.. Computer architecture for secret-key cryptosystems c.. Efficient cryptographic algorithms for embedded processors d.. Reconfigurable computing in cryptography e.. Cryptographic processors and co-processors f.. Cryptography in wireless applications g.. Smart card architectures h.. Compression algorithms for smart cards i.. Special-purpose hardware for cryptanalysis The length of the contribution is limited to 8 single-spaced double column IEEE format pages. Papers may only be submitted electronically in PDF or PS version to the session editor at nadia@eng.uerj.br. The time schedule is as follows: Paper submission: October 30th., 2003 Notification of acceptance: November 14th., 2003 Camera-ready: December 19th., 2003 For Further details, please consult the session webpage at http://www.isebis.eng.uerj.br/crypto2004.html. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nadia Nedjah Department of Systems Engineering and Computation Faculty of Engineering State University of Rio de Janeiro smail: Rua Sao Francisco Xavier, 524, 5 andar, Bloc D, Sala 5022 Maracana, CEP 20550-900 Rio de Janeiro, RJ Brazil email: nadia@eng.uerj.br tel: +55 21 2587 7442 fax: +55 21 2587 7374
