MyCRYPT 2016 : The International Conference on Cryptology & Malicious Security hosted in Malaysia

December 01 - 02, 2016

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Call for Papers

Original papers of substantial technical contribution in the areas of cryptology and malicious security are solicited for submission to the International Conference on Cryptology & Malicious Security hosted in Malaysia (Mycrypt 2016). 

Note that the first & only Mycrypt thus far was in 2005; even back then it had a dedicated session on unconventional cryptography. Since then, substantial breakthroughs have been made in crypto in the past decade, including notions pertaining to malicious security, i.e. where security is no longer just against bad guys but where good guys who are conventionally viewed as mostly defensive can equally be adversarial. It is now time to rejuvenate the series with particular focus on paradigm-shifting crypto research & thinking outside the current box.

Topics

paradigm-shifting, unconventional cryptology (e.g. malicious crypto, unconventional formulations of underlying problems, or new hard problems) 

position papers on breakthrough cryptologic/security research 

revisits/critiques/analysis of long-standing crypto paradigms/approaches/models/formulations (in fact, we also encourage paired submissions by crypto factions of opposing views, where each paper in the pair argues for/against a paradigm)

approaches/solutions to long-standing open problems; or formulations of long-standing/thus-far adhoc security approaches 

analysis of crypto/security standardization processes & how they may be subverted 

cryptofications of the real world (e.g. new types of adversarial models and/or notions inspired by real world incidences/problems, modelling humans-in-the-security-loop) 

crypto & beyond: cryptologic techniques in union with techniques from other disciplines 

Other aspects of cryptology including conventional cryptology are welcome provided they make substantial contributions to the field of cryptology, to how the world views crypto or how crypto views the world. The gist is that we welcome all things non-conventional & paradigm-shifting.
