Best regards, Sven Dietrich Program Chair, FC 2007 ----------- Call for Papers FC'07: Financial Cryptography and Data Security http://fc07.ifca.ai/ Eleventh International Conference February 12-15, 2007 Lowlands, Scarborough, Trinidad and Tobago Submissions Due Date: October 9, 2006, 11:59pm, EDT (UTC-4) Program Chair: Sven Dietrich (Carnegie Mellon University) General Chair: Rafael Hirschfeld (Unipay) At its 11th year edition, Financial Cryptography and Data Security (FC'07) is a well established and major international forum for research, advanced development, education, exploration, and debate regarding security in the context of finance and commerce. We will continue last year's augmentation of the conference title and expansion of our scope to cover all aspects of securing transactions and systems. These aspects include a range of technical areas such as: cryptography, payment systems, secure transaction architectures, software systems and tools, fraud prevention, secure IT infrastructure, and analysis methodologies. Our focus will also encompass financial, legal, business, and policy aspects. Material both on theoretical (fundamental) aspects of securing systems,and on secure applications and real-world deployments will be considered. The conference goal is to bring together top cryptographers, data-security specialists, and computer scientists with economists, bankers, implementers, and policy makers. Intimate and colorful by tradition, the FC'07 program will feature invited talks, academic presentations, technical demonstrations, and panel discussions. This conference is organized annually by the International Financial Cryptography Association (IFCA). Original papers, surveys, and presentations on all aspects of financial and commerce security are invited. Submissions must have a strong and visible bearing on financial and commerce security issues, but can be interdisciplinary in nature and need not be exclusively concerned with cryptography or security. Possible topics for submission to the various sessions include, but are not limited to: Anonymity and Privacy Auctions Audit and Auditability Authentication and Identification, including Biometrics Certification and Authorization Commercial Cryptographic Applications Commercial Transactions and Contracts Digital Cash and Payment Systems Digital Incentive and Loyalty Systems Digital Rights Management Financial Regulation and Reporting Fraud Detection Game Theoretic Approaches to Security Identity Theft, Phishing and Social Engineering Infrastructure Design Legal and Regulatory Issues Microfinance and Micropayments Monitoring, Management and Operations Reputation Systems RFID-Based and Contactless Payment Systems Risk Assessment and Management Secure Banking and Financial Web Services Securing Emerging Computational Paradigms Security and Risk Perceptions and Judgments Security Economics Smart Cards and Secure Tokens Trust Management Trustability and Trustworthiness Underground-Market Economics Virtual Economies Voting system security For those interested, last year's proceedings are available from Springer. Submission Instructions Submission Categories FC'07 is inviting submissions in four categories: (1) research papers, (2) systems and applications presentations, (3) panel sessions, (4) surveys. For all accepted submissions, at least one author must attend the conference and present the work. Research Papers Research papers should describe novel scientific contributions to the field, and they will be subject to rigorous peer review. Accepted submissions will be included in the conference proceedings to be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series after the conference, so the submissions must be formatted in the standard LNCS format (15 page limit). Systems and Application Presentations Submissions in this category should describe novel or successful systems with an emphasis on secure digital commerce applications. Presentations may concern commercial systems, academic prototypes, or open-source projects for any of the topics listed above. Where appropriate, software or hardware demonstrations are encouraged as part of the presentations in these sessions. Submissions in this category should consist of a short summary of the work (1-6 pages in length) to be reviewed by the Program Committee, along with a short biography of the presenters. Accepted submissions will be presented at the conference (25 minutes per presentation), and a one-page abstract will be published in the conference proceedings. Panel Sessions Proposals for panel sessions are also solicited, and should include a brief description of the panel as well as prospective participants. Accepted panel sessions will be presented at the conference, and each participant will contribute a one-page abstract to be published in the conference proceedings. Surveys A limited number of surveys presentations may also be included in the program. We encourage submissions that summarize the current state of the art on any well-defined subset of the above listed submission topics. A limited description of visions on future directions of research in these topics would also be appreciated. Survey submissions can be significantly shorter than research paper submissions. Preparation Instructions Submissions to the research papers, systems/application presentation categories, and surveys must be received by the due date. Papers must be formatted in standard PostScript or PDF format. Submissions in other formats will be rejected. All papers must be submitted electronically according to the instructions and forms found on this web site and at the submission site. Authors should provide names and affiliations at submission time, and have the option of including or not names and affiliations in their submitted papers, that must include on their first page the title of the paper, a brief abstract, and a list of topical keywords. Accepted submissions will be included in the conference proceedings to be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series after the conference, so the submissions must be formatted in the standard LNCS format (15 page limit). Authors of accepted submissions will be required to complete and sign an IFCA copyright form. A pre-proceedings volume containing preliminary versions of the papers will be distributed at the conference. Questions about all conference submissions should be directed to the Program Chair at fc07chair@cert.org. Paper Submission Authors should only submit work that does not substantially overlap with work that is currently submitted or has been accepted for publication to a conference with proceedings or a journal. To submit your paper, use our online submission service.. The Rump Session FC'07 will also include the popular "rump session" held on one of the evenings in an informal, social atmosphere. The rump session is a program of short (5-7 minute), informal presentations on works in progress, off-the-cuff ideas, and any other matters pertinent to the conference. Any conference attendee is welcome to submit a presentation to the Rump Session Chair (to be announced). This submission should consist of a talk title, the name of the presenter, and, if desired, a very brief abstract. Submissions may be sent via e-mail, or submitted in person through the Monday of the conference. Associated Workshop There will be a Usability Workshop held in conjunction with FC 2007.
