General Information
Original research papers on all technical aspects of cryptographic research related the future world with large bit quantum computers are solicited. The topics include (but are not restricted to)

  • public key cryptosystems that have the potential to resist possible future quantum computers such as: hash-based Merkle-type signature schemes, lattice based cryptosystems, code-based cryptosystems, multivariate cryptosystems and quantum cryptographic schemes;

  • classical and quantum attacks including side channel attacks on the post-quantum cryptosystems;

  • security models for the post-quantum era.

Instructions for Authors
Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published in a journal or a conference/workshop with proceedings, or has submitted/ is planning to submit before the author notification deadline (August, 2008) to other conferences/workshops that have proceedings. Parallel submissions will be rejected, and further actions may occur!

A limit of 12 pages, not including references and appendices is placed on all submissions. The paper should be intelligible and self-contained without appendices, as committee members are not required to read appendices. The submission receipt deadline is June 15, 2008 11pm EST. The paper must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references. The paper must start with a title, an abstract, and keywords.  It should be followed by a succinct statement appropriate for a non-specialist reader, specifying the subject addressed, its background, the main results, and their significance. Technical details directed to the specialist should then follow. If accepted, one of the authors must register and present the paper at the workshop. Further submission instructions will be posted on the conference home page PQCrypto. Submissions not meeting the guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

Submissions must be done electronically via EasyChair at http://www.easychair.org/conferences?conf=pqcrypto2008
