Call for Papers Financial Cryptography and Data Security 2013 http://fc13.ifca.ai/cfp.html Seventeenth International Conference April 1-5, 2013 Bankoku Shinryokan Busena Terrace Beach Resort Okinawa, Japan Financial Cryptography and Data Security is a major international forum for research, advanced development, education, exploration, and debate regarding information assurance, with a specific focus on commercial contexts. The conference covers all aspects of securing transactions and systems. Original works focusing on both fundamental and applied real-world deployments on all aspects surrounding commerce security are solicited. Submissions need not be exclusively concerned with cryptography. Systems security and inter-disciplinary efforts are particularly encouraged. Topics include: Anonymity and Privacy Auctions and Audits Authentication and Identification Biometrics Certification and Authorization Cloud Computing Security Commercial Cryptographic Applications Data Outsourcing Security Information Security Game Theoretic Security Securing Emerging Computational Paradigms Identity Theft Fraud Detection Phishing and Social Engineering Digital Rights Management Digital Cash and Payment Systems Digital Incentive and Loyalty Systems Microfinance and Micropayments Contactless Payment and Ticketing Systems Secure Banking and Financial Web Services Security and Privacy in Mobile Devices and Applications Security and Privacy in Automotive and Transport Systems and Applications Smartcards, Secure Tokens and Secure Hardware Privacy-enhancing Systems Reputation Systems Security and Privacy in Social Networks Security and Privacy in Sound and Secure Financial Systems Based on Social Networks Risk Assessment and Management Risk Perceptions and Judgments Legal and Regulatory Issues Security Economics Spam Transactions and Contracts Trust Management Underground-Market Economics Usable Security Virtual Economies Voting Systems Important Dates Workshop Proposal Submission August 25, 2012 Workshop Proposal Notification September 24, 2012 Paper Submission October 13, 2012 Paper Notification December 17, 2012 Final Papers January 12, 2013 Poster and Panel Submission December 22, 2012 Poster and Panel Notification January 14, 2013 Submission Submissions are sought in the following categories: (i) regular papers (15 pg LNCS format), (ii) short papers (8 pg), (iii) panels and workshops (2pg), and (iv) posters (1 pg). The submission must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references. Papers must be formatted in standard LNCS format and submitted as PDF files. Submissions in other formats will be rejected. All papers must be submitted electronically according to the instructions and forms found on this web site and at the submission site. Authors may only submit work that does not substantially overlap with work that is currently submitted or has been accepted for publication to a conference/workshop with proceedings or a journal. We consider double submission serious research fraud and will treat it as such. In case of doubt contact the program chair for any clarifications at fc13chair@ifca.ai. Regular Research Papers Research papers should describe novel, previously unpublished scientific contributions to the field, and they will be subject to rigorous peer review. Accepted submissions will be included in the conference proceedings to be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Submissions are limited to 15 pages. Short Papers Short papers are also subject to peer review, however, the intention is to encourage authors to introduce work in progress, novel applications and corporate/industrial experiences. Short papers will be evaluated with a focus on novelty and potential for sparking participants' interest and future research avenues. Short paper submissions are limited to 8 pages in standard LNCS format. The paper title for short papers should necessarily include the text "(a short paper)". Panel Proposals We especially would like to encourage submissions of panel proposals. These should include a very brief description of the panel topics, as well as of the prospective panelists. Accepted panel sessions will be presented at the conference. Moreover, each participant will contribute a one-page abstract to be published in the conference proceedings. Please feel free to contact us directly if you would like to further discuss the suitability of a certain topic. Panel submissions should be up to 2 pages, sent to fc13chair@ifca.ai. Posters The poster session is the perfect venue to share a provocative opinion, interesting established or preliminary work, or a cool idea that will spark discussion. Poster presenters will benefit from a multi-hour session to discuss their work, get exposure, and receive feedback from attendees. Poster submissions should be 1 page (in the same LNCS format). Please keep in mind that the poster deadline is later than the main paper submission deadline. The posters will be published in the proceedings. Poster proposals should be sent to the posters chair at fc13chair@ifca.ai. Workshop Proposals Proposals for workshops to be held at FC 2013 are also solicited. A workshop can be full day or half day in length. Workshop proposals should include: (i) a title, (ii) a call for papers, (iii) a brief summary and justification – including how it would fit into the greater FC scope, (iv) a (tentative) Program Committee and its Chair, (v) one-paragraph biographies for key organizers, and (vi) the expected (or previous – if workshop has been held in previous years) number of submissions, participants and acceptance rates. Workshop proposals should be sent to fc13workshops@ifca.ai. The Rump Session FC 2013 will also include the popular "rump session" held on one of the evenings in an informal, social atmosphere. The rump session is a program of short (5–7 minute), informal presentations on works in progress, off-the-cuff ideas, and any other matters pertinent to the conference. Any conference attendee is welcome to submit a presentation to the Rump Session Chair (to be announced at the conference). This submission should consist of a talk title, the name of the presenter, and, if desired, a very brief abstract. Submissions may be sent via e-mail, or submitted in person in the morning on the day of the session.
