Instructions for Authors
------------------------

Authors are invited to submit original papers via electronic
submission. Details of the electronic submission procedure will be
posted on the conference webpage. The submission must be anonymous,
with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious
references. It should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list
of keywords. The paper should be at most 12 pages (excluding the
bibliography and clearly marked appendices), and at most 18 pages in
total, using at least 11-point font and reasonable
margins. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection
without consideration of their merits. All submissions will be blind
refereed. Only original research contributions will be
considered. Submissions which substantially duplicate work that any of
the authors have published elsewhere, or have submitted in parallel to
any other conferences or workshops that have proceedings, will be
instantly rejected. The IACR Policy on Irregular Submissions
(http://www.iacr.org/irregular.html) will be strictly enforced.
