The meeting is organized by the Center for Advanced Security Research
Darmstadt (CASED) and will take place in the Fraunhofer Institute for
Computer Graphics Research (IGD).

PQCrypto's aim is to serve as a forum for researchers to present
results and exchange ideas in post-quantum cryptography.

Original research papers on all technical aspects of cryptographic
research related to the future world with large quantum computers
are solicited. The topics include (but are not restricted to):
- (public key) cryptosystems that have the potential to resist
  possible future quantum computers such as: hash-based Merkle-type
  signature schemes, lattice-based cryptosystems, code-based
  cryptosystems, multivariate cryptosystems and quantum cryptographic
  schemes;
- classical and quantum attacks including side-channel attacks on
  the post-quantum cryptosystems;
- security models for the post-quantum era.

Instructions to authors:
Accepted papers will be published in the LNCS series of Springer.  The
paper should be at most 12 pages excluding the bibliography and
appendices, and at most 20 pages total using at least 11-point font
and reasonable margins. The authors are encouraged to prepare their
submission in LaTeX following Springer's guidelines.

Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the
authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any
other conference or workshop with formally published proceedings.
Accepted submissions may not appear in any other conference or
workshop with proceedings. The submission should begin with a title,
the authors' names and affiliations, a short abstract, and a list of
key words, and its introduction should summarize the contributions of
the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader.
Submissions ignoring these guidelines risk rejection without
consideration of their merits.

Submissions will be possible on-line through the conference web site
