ndGeneral Information
The International Conference on Practice and Theory in Public-Key Cryptography (PKC) is organized annually by theInternational Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR). It is the main annual conference with an explicit focus on
public-key cryptography sponsored by IACR. Original research papers on all aspects of public-key cryptography,
covering theory, implementations and applications, are solicited for submission to PKC 2019. Accepted papers will be
published by Springer in their Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

Instructions for Authors
Submissions should be prepared using LaTeX and must be in the standard Springer LNCS format, with the (only)
modification that page numbers must be displayed -- this can be done by putting \pagestyle{plain} into the preamble.
Submissions should begin with a title and a short abstract, followed by an introduction that summarizes the contributionof the paper so that it is understandable to a non-expert in the field. Submissions must be anonymous, with no authornames, affiliations, or obvious references.
Submissions must be at most 30 pages, including title page, references, and figures. The final published version of anaccepted paper is expected to closely match these submitted pages. If necessary, clearly marked supplementary material(of unbounded size) may be appended to the actual submission. However, submissions are expected to be intelligible andverifiable without the supplementary material; reviewers are not required to read it. In particular, it is discouraged tomove crucial proofs into the supplementary material, and in cases where this is unavoidable it is expected that a short but
convincing proof sketch is provided in the main body.
Submissions must not substantially duplicate published work or work that has been submitted in parallel to any otherjournal or conference/workshop with proceedings. All submissions to PKC 2019 are viewed as active submissions
throughout the entire review period; they cannot be submitted to any other journal or conference/workshop withproceedings before the notification date. Accepted submissions cannot appear in any other conference or workshop thathas proceedings. IACR reserves the right to share information about submissions with other program committees. TheIACR Policy on Irregular Submissions and Guidelines for Authors, as well as other resources, are all available via
