Call for Papers
The call for papers is also available in a PDF version.
After an interruption of three years, SKEW 2011 will become the sixth in a series of ECRYPT workshops dedicated to symmetric-key encryption techniques. Continuing in the tradition of the previous SASC/SKEW workshops, SKEW 2011 will provide a forum for discussing the most recent developments in the field of stream ciphers. However, as opposed to earlier editions, this year's workshop intends to cover other aspects of symmetric-key encryption as well, ranging from new theoretical insights in block cipher cryptanalysis, to the design, implementation and deployment of encryption algorithms for/in severely constrained environments.
SKEW 2011 encourages submissions on any topic related to symmetric-key encryption (note that hash functions are not considered to be encryption algorithms). This includes, but is not limited to:
- design or analysis of stream ciphers and block ciphers,
- implementations of symmetric-key encryption algorithms,
- reports on the deployment of symmetric-key encryption techniques in real-world applications,
- updates on industry requirements with respect to symmetric-key encryption.
In order to prevent submissions to SKEW 2011 from conflicting with submissions to forthcoming conferences with proceedings, SKEW 2011 will have no formal proceedings, but a conference record will be available.
