ICITS 2016 - 9th International Conference on Information Theoretic Security, 
Tacoma, Washington, USA, 
9-12 August 2016.
(Submissions due 20 April 2016)
For more information, please see http://www.icits2016.com

This is the ninth in a series of conferences that aims to bring
together the leading researchers in the areas of information theory,
quantum information theory, and cryptography. ICITS covers all aspects
of information- theoretic security, from relevant mathematical tools
to theoretical modeling to implementation. ICITS is an event in
cooperation with The International Association for Cryptologic
Research (IACR). Papers on all technical aspects of these topics are
solicited for submission. Areas of interest include, but are not
restricted to:

Adversarial channel models
Authentication codes
Bounded-storage models
Biometric security
Codes, lattices & cryptography
Cryptography from noisy channels
Implementation challenges
Information-theoretic reductions
Information-theoretic tools
in computational settings
Key and message rates
Multiparty computations
Network coding security
Nonlocality and nonsignaling
Physical layer security
Physical models & assumptions
Quantum cryptography
Quantum information theory
Randomness extraction
Secret sharing
Wiretap channels

Two Tracks: Conference and Workshop

As the goal of ICITS is to bring together researchers on all aspects
of information-theoretic security, it consists of two tracks with
different types of contributed presentations:

Conference Track (with proceedings): Submissions to this track must be
original papers that have not previously appeared in published
form. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference and will
appear in the conference proceedings. The proceedings will be
published by Springer-Verlag in its Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Series.

Workshop Track (no proceedings): To encourage presentation of work
from a variety of fields (especially those where conference
publication is unusual or makes journal publication difficult), the
committee also solicits “workshop track” papers. Accepted papers will
be presented orally at the conference but will not appear in the
proceedings. Submissions to this track that have previously appeared
(or are currently submitted elsewhere) are acceptable. Papers that
describe work in progress are also welcome. We note that the same
standards of quality will apply to conference and workshop papers.
