CALL FOR PAPERS 10th International Conference on Applied Cryptography and Network Security (ACNS 2012) Singapore -- June 26-29, 2012 The 10th International Conference on Applied Cryptography and Network Security (ACNS 2012) will be held in Singapore. The conference seeks submissions from academia, industry, and government presenting novel research on all aspects of applied cryptography as well as network security and privacy. Papers describing novel paradigms, original directions, or non-traditional perspectives are also encouraged. The conference has two tracks: a research track and an industry track. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Access control - Applied cryptography - Automated protocols analysis - Biometric security and privacy - Complex systems security - Critical infrastructure protection - Cryptographic primitives and protocols - Data protection - Database and system security - Digital rights management - Email and web security - Identity management - Intellectual property protection - Internet fraud - Intrusion detection and prevention - Key management - Malware - Network security protocols - Privacy, anonymity, and untraceability - Privacy-enhancing technology - Protection for the future Internet - Secure mobile agents and mobile code - Security in e-commerce - Security in P2P systems - Security in pervasive/ubiquitous computing - Security and privacy in cloud and grid systems - Security and privacy in distributed systems - Security and privacy in smart grids - Security and privacy in wireless networks - Security and privacy metrics - Trust management - Usability and security SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. All submissions should be appropriately anonymized (i.e., papers should not contain author names or affiliations, or obvious citations). Submissions should be at most 18 pages for research track and at most 8 pages for industry track, including the bibliography and well-marked appendices, and should follow the LNCS style. Submissions are to be made to the submission web site at http://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=acns2012. Only pdf files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Papers must be received by the deadline of February 5, 2012 (11:59 p.m. Samoa time). Authors should indicate whether their submission should be considered for the best student paper award; any paper co-authored by at least a full time student is eligible. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be presented at the conference. Papers accepted for the research track will be published in proceedings published by Springer's LNCS and available at the conference. Extended versions of selected best papers will be invited for a special issue on the Journal of Computer Security.
