Workshop on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems 2001 (CHES 2001) http://www.chesworkshop.org Paris - France May 13 - 16, 2001 First Call for Papers General Information The focus of this workshop is on all aspects of cryptographic hardware and embedded system design. The workshop will be a forum of new results from the research community as well as from the industry. Of special interest are contributions that describe new methods for efficient hardware implementations and high-speed software for embedded systems, e.g., smart cards, microprocessors, DSPs, etc. We hope that the workshop will help to fill the gap between the cryptography research community and the application areas of cryptography. Consequently, we encourage submission from academia, industry, and other organizations. All submitted papers will be reviewed. This will be the third CHES workshop. The first workshop, CHES '99, was held at WPI in August of 1999 and was very well received by academia and industry. There were 170 participants, more than half of which were from outside the United States. The second workshop, CHES 2000, was also held at WPI in August of 2000 and had an attendance of 180. The third workshop, CHES 2001, will be held in Paris in May of 2001. The topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Computer architectures for public-key cryptosystems * Computer architectures for secret-key cryptosystems * Reconfigurable computing and applications in cryptography * Cryptographic processors and co-processors * Modular and Galois field arithmetic architectures * Tamper resistance on the chip and board level * Smart card attacks and architectures * Efficient algorithms for embedded processors * Special-purpose hardware for cryptanalysis * Fast network encryption * True and pseudo random number generators * Cryptography in wireless applications Instructions for Authors Authors are invited to submit original papers. The preferred submission form is by electronic mail to ches@ece.orst.edu. Papers should be formatted in 12pt type and not exceed 12 pages (not including the title page and the bibliography). The title page should contain the author's name, address (including email address and an indication of the corresponding author), an abstract, and a small list of key words. Please submit the paper in Postscript or PDF. We recommend that you generate the PS or PDF file using LaTeX, however, MS Word is also acceptable. All submissions will be refereed. Only original research contributions will be considered. Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors have published elsewhere or have submitted in parallel to any other conferences or workshops that have proceedings. Important Dates Submission Deadline: February 15th, 2001. Acceptance Notification: March 31st, 2001. Final Version due: April 21st, 2001. Workshop: May 13th - 16th, 2001. NOTE: The CHES dates May 13th - 16th are Sunday - Wednesday succeeding Eurocrypt 2001 which ends on Thursday, May 10th.
