Hi there,
I am not sure if forwarding this e-mail is considered spaming the list but I
figured some of the Sage developers would like to be aware of this if they
aren't already.
Sorry, if I am wrong,

SCC 2008
First International Conference on Symbolic Computation and Cryptography
http://www.cc4cm.org/scc2008
Beijing, China, April 28-30, 2008
FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
SCC 2008 is the first of a new series of conferences where research and
development in symbolic computation and cryptography may be presented
and discussed. It is organized in response to the growing interest in
applying and developing methods, techniques, and software tools of symbolic
computation for cryptography. The use of lattice reduction algorithms in
cryptology and the application of Groebner bases in the context of algebraic
attacks are typical examples of explored applications.
SCC 2008 aims at providing an interactive forum for interested
researchers to exchange ideas and views, to present research results and
progress, and to learn and discuss recent developments and emerging problems
on
- the design, modeling, and analysis of cryptographic systems and protocols
for which symbolic computation may be used or needed, and
- the design, implementation, and analysis of algorithms and software tools
of symbolic computation that may have potential applications in
cryptography.
TOPICS
Specific topics for SCC 2008 include, but are not limited to:
- Multivariate cryptography, braid group cryptography, noncommutative
cryptography, and quantum cryptography
- Code-based, factorization-based, and lattice-based cryptography
- Algebraic attacks for block ciphers, stream ciphers, and hash functions
- Design and analysis of algebraic, elliptic, and embedded cryptographic
systems and protocols
- Groebner basis techniques in cryptology, algebraic number theory, and
coding theory
- Triangular sets and new techniques for solving algebraic systems over
finite fields
- Algorithms and software for symbolic computation in cryptography
INVITED SPEAKERS
Bruno Buchberger (Johannes Kepler Universitaet Linz, Austria)
Arjen K. Lenstra (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Switzerland)
(to be confirmed)
Adi Shamir (Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel)
Xiaoyun Wang (Tsinghua University and Shandong University, China)
SUBMISSION
Potential participants of SCC 2008 are invited to submit extended
abstracts of 3-5 pages or full papers describing their work to be
presented at the conference. The submitted extended abstracts and
full papers will be reviewed by members of the program committee (PC)
for soundness and relevance to the conference. Submission of original
research papers is encouraged, while published material and work in
progress will also be considered for presentation at the conference.
Extended abstracts and full papers should be prepared using LaTeX with
the style file available on the SCC 2008 webpage and according to the
instructions given therein. Submissions must be done electronically
via EasyChair at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scc2008 or
sent in PDF or PS format as e-mail attachments to scc2008 @ cc4cm.org.
Accepted extended abstracts and full papers will be printed in the
proceedings of SCC 2008 for distribution at the conference.
PUBLICATION
Authors of the extended abstracts and full papers accepted for
presentation at the conference will be invited to submit their full
and/or revised papers for publication in special issues of
Mathematics in Computer Science (MCS - http://www.cc4cm.org/mcs) by
Birkhauser/Springer after the meeting. The submitted papers will be
formally reviewed by PC members and external referees according to
the standard refereeing procedure of MCS.
