Aim/Scope/Research Area The Provable Security Conference (ProvSec 2009) will be held in Guangzhou , China , on 11-13, November, 2009.
Provable security is an important research area in modern cryptography. Cryptographic primitives or protocols without a rigorous proof cannot be regarded as secure in practice. There are many schemes that are originally thought as secure being successfully cryptanalyzed, which clearly indicates the need of formal security assurance. With provable security, we are confident in using cryptographic applications to replace the traditional way in physical world. Unfortunately, schemes with provable security sometimes give only theoretical feasibility rather than a practical construction, and correctness of the proofs may be difficult to verify. ProvSec conference provides a platform for researchers, scholars and practitioners to exchange new ideas for solving these problems in the provable security area.
Topics include all aspects of provable security for cryptographic primitives or protocols, and include but are not limited to the following areas:
Cryptographic primitives
Security notions, approaches, and paradigms
Formal security model
Secure cryptographic protocols and applications
Provable secure block ciphers and hash functions
Digital signatures
Privacy and anonymity technologies
Steganography and steganalysis
Lattice-based security reductions
Pairing-based provably secure cryptography
