******** CALL FOR PAPERS : CREST BOOK ********
Mathematics, Quantum Theory, and Cryptography
The aim of the book is to present mathematical background underlying a security modelling of thenext-generation cryptography. The book will introduce new mathematical results in order to strengthen
information security, simultaneously making fresh insights and developing the respective areas ofmathematics. This project is supported by CREST - a funding program, which is run by the Japan
Science and Technology Agency (JST) (https://cryptomath-crest.jp/english).
This book will contain the selected papers from International Symposium on Mathematics, Quantum
Theory, and Cryptography (MQC), which will be held on September 25-27, 2019 in Fukuoka, Japan.
Original research papers/surveys on all technical aspects of mathematical cryptography secure in theera of quantum computers are solicited. The topics include (but are not restricted to): (1) Mathematics
and quantum theory for the next-generation cryptography such as: number theory, algebraic geometry,lattice theory, representation theory, multivariate polynomial theory, quantum computation,mathematical physics, and probability theory; (2) Cryptosystems that have the potential to be safe
against quantum computers such as: hash-based signature schemes, lattice-based cryptosystems, codebased cryptosystems, multivariate cryptosystems and quantum cryptographic schemes.
Instructions to authors:
Accepted papers will be published in Springer's “Mathematics for Industry” series available from thewebsite (http://link.springer.com/bookseries/13254). The length of the submission must be at most 15pages, excluding references and appendices, in a single column format, in 11pt fonts and withreasonable margins. If the submission is accepted, the length of the final version will be at most 20
pages including references and appendices, in the Springer’s format, as in here
https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/book-authors-editors/manuscript-preparation/5636
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 to a journal or other conferences/workshops that have proceedings. The
submission should begin with a title, the authors' names and affiliations, a short abstract, and a list ofkey words, and its introduction should summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate
for a non-specialist reader.
Authors should submit a paper via email to Yasuhiko Ikematsu <ikematsu@mist.i.u-tokyo.ac.jp>.
