International Conference on Historical Cryptology (HISTOCRYPT 2018)

Uppsala, Sweden

Monday, June 18, 2018 to Wednesday, June 20, 2018

CALL FOR PAPERS

The International Conference on Historical Cryptology (HistoCrypt 2018)
invites submissions of long and short papers to its annual conference on
historical cryptology. The conference will be held in June 18-20, 2018
on the English Park Campus of Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden.
Please mark your calendars.

HistoCrypt addresses all aspects of historical
cryptography/cryptanalysis including work in closely related disciplines
(such as history, history of ideas, computer science, AI, or
(computational) linguistics or image processing) that is sufficiently
formalized or applied, with relevance to historical ciphertexts and codes.

We welcome everybody interested in the field of historical cryptology
(classical cryptography and cryptanalysis) to participate in the event.
We invite submissions to HistoCrypt, either short or long paper, for
presentation at the conference, which will be evaluated by a program
committee. The conference's subjects include, but are not limited to:

+ the use of cryptography in military, diplomacy, business, and other areas
+ analysis of historical ciphers with the help of modern computerized
methods
+ unsolved historical cryptograms
+ the Enigma and other encryption machines
+ the history of modern (computer-based) cryptography
+ special linguistic aspects of cryptology
+ the influence of cryptography on the course of history
+ teaching and promoting cryptology in schools, universities, and the public

Considering the location of the upcoming HistoCrypt 2018 at Uppsala
University, special attention is encouraged to the heritage of Prof.
Arne Beurling and his role in breaking the German teletype ciphers.

Participation in the conference is mandatory for at least one author of
each accepted paper.

BACKGROUND

HistoCrypt 2018 represents a continuation of the highly successful
European Historical Ciphers Colloquiums (EuroHCC) held in Heusenstamm
(2012), Kassel (2016), and Smolenice (2017). Considering EuroHCC’s
growing popularity among the crypto historians and cryptographers and
the established HICRYPT network on historical cryptology with over 50
members from 20 countries around the world, our aim is to establish
HistoCrypt as an annual, international event. The first event in the
series takes place in 2018 at Uppsala University, Sweden.

SUBMISSIONS

We invite paper submissions in three distinct tracks:

+ regular papers up to 10 pages (including references) on substantial,
original, and unpublished research, including evaluation results, where
appropriate;
+ short papers up to 4 pages (including references) on smaller, focused
contributions, work in progress, negative results, surveys, tutorials,
or opinion pieces;
+ short papers up to 4 pages (including references) on system
demonstrations (demo).

Presentations of accepted papers are either oral, poster, or demo, which
will be decided by the program committee.

Papers accepted for presentation at the conference will be included in
the HistoCrypt 2018 proceedings, which is published as part of the
Northern European Association for Language Technology (NEALT)
Proceedings Series (http://omilia.uio.no/nealt/?task=publications) by
Linköping University Electronic Press (ECP:
http://www.ep.liu.se/ecp/index.en.asp), as freely available Gold Open
Access. Publications in the Linköping Electronic Conference Proceedings
are ranked on the Norwegian register for scientific journals, series and
publishers as Level 1 publications. Please consult the responsibilities
of the authors concerning publication ethics and malpractice statement
as described on the ECP website:
http://www.ep.liu.se/ecp/index.en.asp#tab4. Paper submissions that
