Final Call for Papers
The Second International Workshop on
Modern Cryptography and Security Engineering(MoCrySEn 2013)
To be held in conjunction with the 8th International Conference on Availability, Reliability andSecurity (ARES 2013 – http://www.ares-conference.eu).

September 2nd – 6th, 2013
University of Regensburg
Regensburg, Germany

The Second International Workshop on Modern Cryptography and Security Engineering (co-locatedwith the International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security) aims to bring together
researchers working in theoretical aspects of modern cryptography (including but not restricted todesign and analysis of symmetric-key primitives and cryptosystems, block and stream ciphers, hashfunctions and MAC algorithms, efficient implementations and analysis of public-key cryptosystems,
public-key signatures, threshold schemes) with professionals working on applied aspects of security
engineering, particularly people involved in standardization and in industrial deployment ofcryptography (encryption schemes for databases and related security, cryptography in wirelessapplications, hardware for cryptanalysis, digital signatures, FPGA and smart cards security). The main
goal of the workshop is to strengthen the dialogue between these two groups, which is currently
perceived to be weak. Ultimately, we aim to continue bridging the gap between what academic
cryptographers believe should be the goals of cryptographic design and what is actually
implemented in the real world. MoCrySEn intends to provide a better understanding of real-world
cryptographic issues to the theoretical community, helping to inform their research and set new
research challenges for the theoretical community and enable practitioners to develop a clearerview of the current state-of-the-art in cryptographic research and what it offers to practitioners

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:Symmetric-key cryptography

Public-key cryptographySecret-sharing cryptography

Algorithmic cryptanalysis



Database encryption

Public-key signatures

Software and hardware implementation of cryptographic algorithms

Hardware securityCryptographic schemes for mobile devicesInteraction between cryptographic theory and implementation issues

Submission Guidelines
As MoCrySEn is co-located with the ARES conference http://www.ares-conference.eu, anonymized
submissions are required, in order to ensure a double blind review. In addition, submitted papers
must
conformtothe“SpringerLNCS
Series”
formathttp://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html and they must not exceed more than 12 pages,excluding well-marked appendices and bibliography. For more details, regarding the submission
procedure please consult the workshop's webpage at http://mocrysen2013.inria.fr or contact theworkshop chairs.

Proceedings
All accepted papers of the workshop will be published by Springer Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS) with IFIP logo (indexed by EI) joint with the proceedings of the CD-ARES conference.
The proceedings will be available at the workshop. At least one author of an accepted paper mustregister at the ARES 2013 site and present the paper at the workshop.
