Rump Session

Rump Session - CFP

Rump session program is located below.

The ASIACRYPT 2019 rump session will take place on Tuesday, December 10th from 19:30 onwards, following the Test-of-Time Awards ceremony. Short talks on breaking news, striking new results, clever witticisms, deep (but concise) philosophical commentary on the state of the community, or any other topic that you feel confident will catch the attention of your fellow, mildly intoxicated cryptographers, are hereby sollicited for presentation at this session.

Prospective presenters are reminded that the rump session is governed by iron laws passed down since times immemorial:

• First, be short and to the point.
• First, be entertaining to the audience.
• First, no bringing your own laptop.
• First, no conference announcements.
• First, the rump session chair always has the final say.

According to contemporary exegesis, this means in particular that talks must fit within 5 minutes and 8 slides; boring talks are not welcome; slides must be submitted in PDF format only by the specified deadline; and conference or meeting announcements will not be awarded a talk slot (single-slide announcements may be considered for rolling display during the break). Submissions not meeting these laws (particularly the first) risk outright rejection? or worse.

Submit talk proposals by filling the form below by Tuesday, December 10th at 12:00 JST, Monday, December 9th at 17:00 JST, which in particular lets you provide a link to the presentation PDF file. Later edits are permitted, but make sure your final file is registered by 12:00 noon on Tuesday.

Questions and requests can be sent by email to the rump session chair at asiacrypt2019rump@iacr.org. The proper honorific to address the chair is sensei.
