Call For Papers
Africacrypt is an Annual International Conference on the Theory and Application of Cryptology. Africacrypt 2017 is organized by Cheikh Anta Diop University, Dakar, Senegal, in cooperation with the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR). The aim of Africacrypt 2017 is to provide an international forum for practitioners and researchers from industry, academia and government from all over the world for a wide ranging discussion of all forms of cryptography and its applications.
The program committee is seeking original research papers pertaining to all aspects of cryptography as well as tutorials are solicited. Submissions may present theory, techniques, applications and practical experience on topics including, but not limited to:
Topics
- Secret-key cryptography (block ciphers, stream ciphers, hash functions, MAC, ...);
- Secret-key cryptanalysis;
- Public-key cryptography (identification protocols, digital signatures, encryption, ...);
- Public-key cryptanalysis;
- Cryptographic protocols;
- Design of cryptographic schemes;
- Security proofs;
- Anonymity (electronic commerce and payment, electronic voting, ...);
- Information theory;
- Foundations and complexity theory;
- Multi-party computation;
- Quantum cryptography;
- Elliptic curves;
- Lattices;
- Code-based cryptography;
- Efficient implementations.
