The 2016 edition of Africacrypt will feature keynote speakers from leading software editors and hardware manufacturers, as well as exposition booths.
The conference seeks original contributions in any area of cryptology or related fields. We welcome submissions about, but not limited to:
The proceedings with revised selected papers will be published in Springer-Verlag’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (see Instructions for authors below). Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference.

Submissions must be in English, and must not be substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any journal or other conference or workshop that has proceedings.
Submissions will take place entirely via a web system available from The Ecole Normal Supérieure and accessible through the Submission link.
All submissions will be blind reviewed. The paper must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references. It should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords.
The final proceedings version will be a paper of at most 20 pages in the llncs style, and clear instructions will be sent to the authors of accepted papers. Thus, the document submitted (excluding clear marked appendices) should correspond to what the authors expect to be published if their paper is accepted without modification. We therefore strongly recommend that authors check whether their paper (without appendices) will fit within the above LNCS space constraints (see guidelines for paper preparation and Latex and Microsoft Word 7 templates).
Committee members are not required to review more than that, so the paper should be intelligible and self-contained within this length. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.
On the front page of your paper submission, please indicate if your submission is also a candidate for the poster session in case it is not selected as a published paper.
For additional poster submissions, please send a 2-page description of the work to the program chairs: africacrypt2016ATdi.ens.fr
Posters can present ongoing work or already published results.
