18th International Conference on Applied Cryptography and Network Security

Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any other venue with formally published proceedings. Information about submissions may be shared with program chairs of other conferences for that purpose. Submissions must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgement or obvious references. Each submission must begin with a title, short abstract, and a list of keywords. The introduction should summarise the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. All submissions must follow the original LNCS format (see http://www.springeronline.com/lncs) with a page limit of 20 pages (incl. references) for the main part (reviewers are not required to read beyond this limit) and 30 pages in total. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format. Papers rejected at the first round can be submitted at the second round (together with a response letter). Submissions not meeting the submission guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. It is strongly encouraged that submissions be processed in LaTeX. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference and must make a full version of their paper available online. To encourage promising students to publish their best results in ACNS, any paper co-authored by at least one full-time student who will present the paper at the conference is eligible for the best student paper award, with a cash reward of Euro 1000 sponsored by Springer.

• For papers that received a major revision decision in the first round, use the original submission number to upload the revised version to Easy Chair.
• For papers that received a reject decision in the first round, re-submission is allowed with a new submission number. As the submission system does not allow for two submissions with the same title, please add in the title (re-submission of #1st round paper id).
• Make sure a response letter addressing reviewer's comments is included at the beginning of your revised version in both cases, and indicate the original submission number if the paper received a reject decision in the first round.
