Call for Papers
Financial Cryptography and Data Security 2013
Seventeenth International Conference
April 1–5, 2013
Bankoku Shinryokan
Busena Terrace Beach Resort
Okinawa, Japan
Financial Cryptography and Data Security is a major international forum for research, advanced development, education, exploration, and debate regarding information assurance, with a specific focus on commercial contexts. The conference covers all aspects of securing transactions and systems. Original works focusing on both fundamental and applied real-world deployments on all aspects surrounding commerce security are solicited. Submissions need not be exclusively concerned with cryptography. Systems security and inter-disciplinary efforts are particularly encouraged.
Topics include:
|
Anonymity and Privacy Auctions and Audits Authentication and Identification Biometrics Certification and Authorization Cloud Computing Security Commercial Cryptographic Applications Data Outsourcing Security Information Security Game Theoretic Security Securing Emerging Computational Paradigms Identity Theft Fraud Detection Phishing and Social Engineering Digital Rights Management Digital Cash and Payment Systems Digital Incentive and Loyalty Systems Microfinance and Micropayments |

Submission
Submissions are sought in the following categories:
(i) regular papers (15 pg LNCS
format including references and maximum of 18 pg, i.e., 3 pg appendices),
(ii) short papers (8 pg LNCS format in total),
(iii) panels and workshop proposals (2pg), and
(iv) posters (1 pg).
Committee members are not required to read the appendices, so the full papers should be intelligible without them.
The regular and short paper submissions must be anonymous, with no author
names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references. In contrast,
panel, workshop proposal, and poster submissions must include author names and
affiliations.
Papers must be formatted in standard LNCS format and submitted as PDF files. Submissions in other formats will be rejected. All papers must be submitted electronically according to the instructions and forms found on this web site and at the submission site.
Authors may only submit work that does not substantially overlap with work that is currently submitted or has been accepted for publication to a conference/workshop with proceedings or a journal. We consider double submission serious research fraud and will treat it as such. In case of doubt contact the program chair for any clarifications at fc13chair@ifca.ai.
Regular Research Papers
Research papers should describe novel, previously unpublished scientific contributions to the field, and they will be subject to rigorous peer review. Accepted submissions will be included in the conference proceedings to be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Submissions are limited to 15 pages including references and maximum of 18 pages (i.e., 3 pages of appendices). Committee members are not required to read the appendices, so the full papers should be intelligible without them. Regular papers must be anonymous with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references.
Short Papers
Short papers are also subject to peer review, however, the intention is to encourage authors to introduce work in progress, novel applications and corporate/industrial experiences. Short papers will be evaluated with a focus on novelty and potential for sparking participants' interest and future research avenues. Short paper submissions are limited to 8 pages in standard LNCS format in total. The paper title for short papers should necessarily include the text “Short Paper”. Short papers must be anonymous with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references.
Panel Proposals
We especially would like to encourage submissions of panel proposals. These should include a very brief description of the panel topics, as well as of the prospective panelists. Accepted panel sessions will be presented at the conference. Moreover, each participant will contribute a one-page abstract to be published in the conference proceedings. Please feel free to contact us directly if you would like to further discuss the suitability of a certain topic. Panel submissions must not be anonymous and should be up to 2 pages, sent to fc13chair@ifca.ai.
Posters
The poster session is the perfect venue to share a provocative opinion, interesting established or preliminary work, or a cool idea that will spark discussion. Poster presenters will benefit from a multi-hour session to discuss their work, get exposure, and receive feedback from attendees. Poster submissions should be 1 page (in the same LNCS format). Please keep in mind that the poster deadline is later than the main paper submission deadline. The posters will be published in the proceedings. Poster proposals must not be anonymous and should be sent to the posters chair at fc13chair@ifca.ai.
Workshop Proposals
Proposals for workshops to be held at FC 2013 are also solicited. A workshop can be full day or half day in length. Workshop proposals should include: (i) a title, (ii) a call for papers, (iii) a brief summary and justification – including how it would fit into the greater FC scope, (iv) a (tentative) Program Committee and its Chair, (v) one-paragraph biographies for key organizers, and (vi) the expected (or previous – if workshop has been held in previous years) number of submissions, participants and acceptance rates. Workshop proposals must not be anonymous and should be sent to fc13workshops@ifca.ai.
The Rump Session
FC 2013 will also include the popular "rump session" held on one of the evenings in an informal, social atmosphere. The rump session is a program of short (5–7 minute), informal presentations on works in progress, off-the-cuff ideas, and any other matters pertinent to the conference. Any conference attendee is welcome to submit a presentation to the Rump Session Chair (to be announced at the conference). This submission should consist of a talk title, the name of the presenter, and, if desired, a very brief abstract. Submissions may be sent via e-mail, or submitted in person in the morning on the day of the session.
Student Stipends
We are pleased to announce the availability of enhanced financial support for students attending FC13. We anticipate awarding student stipends that would cover conference registration fees and reimburse travel expenses up to $1,000. Preference will be given to students who will be presenting at the conference or associated workshops, but all student participants are encouraged to apply. If you are interested in applying for stipend support, please email the FC2013 general chair at fc13general@ifca.ai with subject line "student stipend" and a letter of support from your home institution. We will evaluate applications following the paper notification date (December 17).
