## Conference Overview
The Selected Areas in Cryptography (SAC) conference series began in
1994, when the first event was held at Queen's University in Kingston.
Ever since, the SAC conference has been held annually in various
Canadian locations, including Burnaby, Calgary, Kingston, Montreal,
Ottawa, Sackville, St. Johns, Toronto, Waterloo and Windsor.

SAC 2015 is held in co-operation with the International Association for
Cryptologic Research (IACR), which is the leading professional
organization for cryptographic research. The SAC proceedings will be
published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS)
series.


## Topics
Each SAC conference has four main topic areas. The first three are
permanent:

o Design and analysis of symmetric key primitives and cryptosystems
including block and stream ciphers, hash functions, MAC algorithms, and
authenticated encryption schemes.

o Efficient implementations of symmetric and public key algorithms.

o Mathematical and algorithmic aspects of applied cryptology.

The fourth topic, chosen specifically for SAC 2015, is:

o Privacy and anonymity enhancing technologies and their analysis.
