Provable security is an important research area in modern cryptography. Cryptographic primitives or protocols without a rigorous proof cannot be regarded as secure in practice. In fact, there are many schemes that were originally thought as secure but eventually broken, which clearly indicates the need of formal security assurance. With provable security, we are confident in using cryptographic schemes and protocols in various real-world applications. Meanwhile, schemes with provable security sometimes give only theoretical feasibility rather than a practical construction, and correctness of the proofs may be difficult to verify. ProvSec conference thus provides a platform for researchers, scholars and practitioners to exchange new ideas for solving these problems in the provable security area.
Submission Guidelines
Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted to another conference or journal for consideration for publication. Papers must be written in English; they should be at most 15 pages (excluding bibliography and appendices). Clear instructions for the preparation of a final proceedings version will be sent to the authors of accepted papers. Authors are strongly recommended to submit their papers in the standard LNCS format (see the Springer web page http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-0-0-0 for details).
Papers must be submitted using the EasyChair conference management system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=provsec2017. Please sign up if you don't have an EasyChair account.
