Workshop Description

The ISH ’05 Workshop, held in conjunction with the International Conference on Computational Science & Its Applications (ICCSA ’05), is intended as an international forum for researchers in all areas of information security and information hiding. Submissions of papers presenting a high-quality original research are invited for the Workshop tracks: 

q       Cryptology (cryptography, cryptanalysis)

q       Security engineering (side-channel attacks, crypto implementations)

q       Steganology (steganography, steganalysis)

q       Digital Watermarking

 

Topics of interest:

q       Side-channel analysis & countermeasures

q       Implementation of cryptographic algorithms,

q       Cryptographic hardware: factoring, cryptanalysis, random number generators, reconfigurable, processors,

q       Design & analysis of symmetric-key cryptosystems: block ciphers, stream ciphers, hash functions, MACs, modes of operation, backdoors

q       RFID & privacy

q       Public-key cryptography, Elliptic curve cryptosystems

q       Provable security

q       Trusted computing

q       Subliminal & covert channels

q       Steganography

q       Digital watermarking

q       Digital rights management

q       Links between cryptology and steganology

 

Important Dates

Submission:                                                   10 December 2004, 23:59:59 GMT

Acceptance:                                                  31 January 2005 (Extended to follow ICCSA 2005)

Camera-ready version & pre-registration:        20 February 2005 (Extended to follow ICCSA 2005)

 

Accepted Papers (NEW!)

The list of accepted papers is here.  Camera-ready version due 20 February 2005, and must be strictly revised based on reviewer comments.  Authors of submitted papers (regardless of acceptance or rejection) should email contact the Program Chair if you have any queries or doubts.

 

Instructions for Authors

Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any other journal, conference, or workshop that has proceedings.  Authors of an accepted paper must guarantee that at least one of the authors will attend the conference and present their paper.

 

Submission Format

The full paper submission must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references.  It should be camera-ready and formatted according to the rules of LNCS.  The length of the paper should not exceed 10 pages in total, using at least 11-point fonts and with reasonable margins.  The introduction should summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader.  Committee members are not required to read appendices; the paper should be intelligible without them.  Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

 

Electronic Submission

To submit a paper, send a plain ASCII text email with the subject "ISH '05 submission" and containing the paper title, abstract, authors’ names, affiliations, postal and email addresses, phone and fax numbers.  Also indicate the corresponding author. 

Attach your full paper in PS or PDF, and email directly to:

rphan@swinburne.edu.my

Attn: Raphael C.-W. Phan

Submissions must conform to this procedure and be received by 10 December 2004, 23:59:59 GMT.  Other means of submission will not be honoured.

Each submission will be refereed by at least two to three referees.

Proceedings

Proceedings of the Workshop will be published in the Springer-Verlag’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

Selected papers may also be invited for extension and submission to special issues in appropriate journals (such as International Journal of Mathematical Algorithms, Journal of Computational Sciences, etc).
