   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, Physhing 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 at 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.

   Paper submission will occur via website to be announced at a later time.

   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. Details
   will be published at a later time.
