Call for Papers [.pdf Version]
In view of the rapid developments in the cryptanalysis and design of cryptographic hash functions, the symmetric crypto lab (STVL) of ECRYPT organizes a dedicated workshop. The workshop will take place right after Eurocrypt 2007. The aim of the workshop is to attract researchers and application developers both from academia and industry. We encourage presentations and reports on preliminary work that the participants plan to publish later elsewhere. Topics for submission include, but are not limited to:
- Cryptanalysis of hash functions
- Design of new hash functions, compression functions and structures
- Desirable properties for hash functions
- Relation between applications and security properties of hash functions
We also welcome non-research oriented input from industry, e.g. about the functional and security requirements in applications.
Important Dates:
Submission Deadline: March 31, 2007
Notification: April 26, 2007
Final Version: May 10, 2007
Workshop: May 24-25, 2007
Instructions for Authors:
