4．Awards[Innovation Paper Award]
To promote the continued development of the Symposium on Cryptography and InformationSecurity (SCIS), the IEICE Technical Committee on Information Security (ISEC) has
established the Innovation Paper Award, starting from SCIS 2012. This award encourages
novel research and technological development in the fields of cryptography and security,
including not only new theoretical results, but also the formulation of new problems in IT andthe opening of new research directions. The manuscripts of all SCIS 2022 presentations areeligible.
[SCIS Paper Award]
To promote the continued development of the Symposium on Cryptography and Information
Security (SCIS) as well as the active participation of young researchers and technical expertsin the fields of cryptography and security, the IEICE Technical Committee on Information
