Call for Papers
FSE 2005 is the 12th annual Fast Software Encryption workshop, for the fourth year sponsored by the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR). Original research papers on symmetric cryptology are invited for submission to FSE 2005. The workshop concentrates on all aspects of fast primitives for symmetric cryptography: the design and cryptanalysis of block and stream ciphers, as well as hash functions and message authentication codes (MACs).

Instructions for Authors
Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any other international conference or workshop that has proceedings.
Submission Instructions
The submission must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references. It should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords. The length of the submission should be at most 12 pages excluding bibliography and appendices. It should have reasonably sized margins. The introduction should summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. Committee members are not required to read appendices; the paper should be intelligible without them. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. It is strongly preferred that submissions be processed in LaTeX according to the instructions listed on http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html since this will be a mandatory requirement for the final papers.
Submitted papers must be in PDF or postscript format and should be submitted electronically. Detailed description of the electronic submission procedure will be available here: https://silentbob.gemplus.com/fse2005/submit/.
Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop. Pre-proceedings will be available at the workshop. Proceedings are intended to be published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Instructions about the preparation of a final proceedings version will be sent to the authors of accepted papers after the workshop.
