Objective

The fourth International Conference on Codes, Cryptology and Information Security (C2SI-2023). aims to bring together researchers in coding theory, cryptology and information security, practitioners, developers, and users to foster cooperation, and exchange techniques, tools, experiences and ideas. It also aims to increase the pool of early career researchers who appreciate the power of math- ematics and its important role in communications engineering and to help them understand the different cultures associated with mathematics and engineering. Also, to identify new research directions in the mathematics and computer science of communications, especially involving a crucial interplay between theory and applications.

Instructions and information for submission

The submissions should contain original, high-quality, unpublished research results of theoretical and practical impact, including concepts, techniques, applications and practical experiences in the following fields from academia, government, and industry presenting novel research. Submission to C2SI-2023 must be original and not sub- stantially duplicate work that has been published or is simultaneously submitted to a journal or another conference/workshop with proceedings. Papers that contain any form of plagiarism or self-plagiarism will be rejected without reviews. Supplementary materials that facilitate verification of the results, e.g. source code, proof details, etc., may be appended without a page limit or uploaded as separate files, but reviewers are neither required to read them nor will they be printed in the proceedings. Submissions must be anonymous with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references. All submissions will be blind-refereed. All papers must be written in English, must be processed with LaTeX, complete, intelligible and self-contained within at most 20 pages in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format, including title, abstract, and bibliography. Information about the Springer LNCS format can be found here. Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format via Easychair.
