Paper Submission

The submission server is not yet open. Please check back later.

Optionally, if an author desires, a clearly-marked Supplementary Material can be appended to the submission. The Supplementary Material has no prescribed form or page limit and might be used, for instance, to provide background definitions, program code, additional experimental data, etc. The IACR encourages authors to include in their Supplementary Material responses to reviews from previous IACR events. Alternatively, the auxiliary supporting material can be submitted as a separate file from the submission. The reviewers are not required to read the auxiliary supporting material and submissions should be intelligible without it. The final published version of an accepted paper is expected to closely match the submitted version.

Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

For papers that are accepted, the length of the proceedings version will be at most 30 pages including the references using Springer's standard fonts, font sizes, and margins. The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series and will be available at the conference. Authors of accepted papers must complete the IACR copyright assignment form for their work to be published in the proceedings. Moreover, authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference and agree that the presentations will be video recorded during the event. The camera-ready version of the accepted articles will be automatically uploaded to the IACR ePrint server.

Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to a journal or any other conference/workshop with published proceedings. Accepted submissions may not appear in any other conference or workshop with published proceedings. IACR reserves the right to share information about submissions with other program committees to detect parallel submissions and the IACR policy on irregular submissions will be strictly enforced.

Articles will not be reviewed by reviewers who have a conflict of interest with at least one author of the submission. Submissions must adhere to the IACR Policy on Conflicts of Interest.

Program committee members are permitted to submit either one single-author paper, or at most two co-authored papers, or at most three co-authored papers all with students.

The program committee may choose to bestow a best paper award.

Conflicts of Interest

Authors, program committee members, and reviewers must follow the IACR Policy on Conflicts of Interest, available from https://www.iacr.org/docs/.

In particular, the authors of each submission are asked during the submission process to identify all members of the Program Committee who have an automatic conflict of interest (COI) with the submission. A reviewer¹ has an automatic COI with an author if:

• one is or was the thesis advisor to the other, no matter how long ago;
• they shared an institutional affiliation within the prior two years²;
• they published two or more jointly authored works in the last three years³; or
• they are immediate family members⁴

A reviewer has an automatic COI with a submission if:

• the reviewer has an automatic COI with any of its authors;
• the reviewer is authoring a paper (in submission⁵ or in preparation) whose content substantially overlaps with that of the submission;
• the reviewer has made a contribution to the submission (i.e. the submission is the result of a collaboration that did not result in the reviewer's authorship)

Any further COIs of importance should be separately disclosed. It is the responsibility of all authors to ensure correct reporting of COI information. Submissions with incorrect or incomplete COI information may be rejected without consideration of their merits.

COIs are not restricted to automatic ones, others being possible. COIs beyond automatic COIs could involve financial, intellectual, or personal interests. Examples include closely related technical work, cooperation in the form of joint projects or grant applications, business relationships, close personal friendships, instances of personal enmity. Full transparency is of utmost importance, authors and reviewers must disclose to the chairs or editor any circumstances that they think may create bias, even if it does not raise to the level of a COI. The editor or program chair will decide if such circumstances should be treated as a COI.
