The fifth Theory of Cryptography Conference will be held in New York, New York, USA, organized by NYU and sponsored by the International Association for Cryptologic Research. Papers presenting original research on foundational and theoretical aspects of cryptography are sought.

The Theory of Cryptography Conference deals with the paradigms, approaches, and techniques used to conceptualize natural cryptographic problems and provide algorithmic solutions to them. More specifically, the scope of the conference includes, but is not limited to the:

• Study of known paradigms, approaches, and techniques, directed towards their better understanding and utilization,
• Discovery of new paradigms, approaches and techniques that overcome limitations of the existing ones,
• Formulation and treatment of new cryptographic problems,
• Study of notions of security and relations among them,
• Modeling and analysis of cryptographic algorithms, and
• Study of the complexity assumptions used in cryptography.
  
  

The Theory of Cryptography Conference is dedicated to the dissemination of results within its scope. The conference aims to provide a meeting place for researchers and to be instrumental in shaping the identity of the theoretical cryptography community.

Instructions for authors: The submission should begin with a title, followed by the names, affiliations and contact information of all authors, and a short abstract. It should contain a scholarly exposition of ideas, techniques, and results, including motivation and a clear comparison with related work. Submissions should be typeset with 11pt or larger font and reasonable spacing and margins. They should not exceed 12 letter-sized pages, not counting the title page, bibliography and appendices. Reviewers are not required to read appendices; the paper should be intelligible without them. Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that was published elsewhere, or work that any of the authors has submitted in parallel to any other conference or workshop that has proceedings. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their paper at the conference. Submission instructions are available at the above URL. The submission procedure is electronic and web-based. Papers submitted otherwise will not be considered.
The evaluation process is not anonymous: The names and affiliations of authors will be disclosed to the program committee members and external reviewers. Program Committee members are allowed to submit at most one paper.

Proceedings: Proceedings will be published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series and will be available at the conference. Instructions for preparing the final proceedings version will be sent to the authors of accepted papers.
