Submission due:  Jan 26, 2018

The 16th International Conference on Applied Cryptography and Network 
Security (ACNS2018) will be held in Leuven, Belgium from 2-4 July 2018. 
The conference will be organised by the Computer Security and Industrial 
Cryptography (COSIC) group at KU Leuven. The proceedings of ACNS 2018 
will be published by Springer.

ACNS is an annual conference focusing on current developments that 
advance the areas of applied cryptography and its application to systems 
and network security. The goal is to represent both academic research 
works as well as developments in industrial and technical frontiers.

The conference seeks submissions presenting novel research on all 
technical aspects of applied cryptography, cyber security (including 
network and computer security) and privacy.  Submissions may focus on 
the modelling, design, analysis (including security proofs and attacks), 
development (e.g. implementations), deployment (e.g. system 
integration), and maintenance (e.g. performance measurements, usability 
studies) of algorithms, protocols, standards, implementations, 
technologies devices, systems standing in relation with applied 
cryptography, cyber security and privacy, while advancing or bringing 
new insights to the state of the art.  Topics of interest include but 
are not limited to:

• Access control
• Applied cryptography
• Automated security analysis
• Biometric security/privacy
• Block chain and cryptocurrencies
• Cloud security/privacy
• Complex systems security
• Critical infrastructure
• Cryptographic primitives
• Cryptographic protocols
• Data protection
• Database/system security
• Digital rights management
• Email, app and web security
• Future Internet security
• Human factors in security
• Identity management
• IP protection
• Internet fraud, cybercrime
• Internet-of-Things security
• Intrusion detection
• Key management
• Malware
• Mobile/wireless/5G security
• Network security protocols
• Privacy/anonymity, PETs
• Security in e-commerce
• Security in grid systems
• Security in P2P systems
• Security/privacy metrics
• Trust management
• Ubiquitous security/privacy
• Usability in security/privacy

Submission Instructions:

Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the 
authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any 
other venue with formally published proceedings. Information about 
submissions may be shared with program chairs of other conferences for 
that purpose. Submissions must be anonymous, with no author names, 
affiliations, acknowledgement or obvious references. Each submission 
must begin with a title, short abstract, and a list of keywords. The 
introduction should summarise the contributions of the paper at a level 
appropriate for a non-specialist reader. All submissions must follow the 
original LNCS format (see http://www.springeronline.com/lncs) with a 
page limit of 18 pages (incl. references) for the main part (reviewers 
are not required to read beyond this limit) and 30 pages in total. 
Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be 
presented at the conference and must make a full version of their paper 
available online. Any paper co-authored by at least one full-time 
student who will present the paper at the conference is eligible for the 
best student paper award (the eligibility will be clarified with authors 
of accepted papers following the notification). Papers should be 
submitted electronically in PDF format through EasyChair via 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=acns2018. Submissions not 
meeting the submission guidelines risk rejection without consideration 
of their merits. It is strongly encouraged that submissions be processed 
in LaTeX.
