Financial Cryptography and Data Security is a major international forum
for research, advanced development, education, exploration, and debate
regarding information assurance, with a specific focus on financial,
economic and commercial transaction security. Original works focusing on
securing commercial transactions and systems are solicited; fundamental
as well as applied real-world deployments on all aspects surrounding
commerce security are of interest. Submissions need not be exclusively
concerned with cryptography. Systems security, economic or behavioral
perspectives, and interdisciplinary efforts are particularly encouraged.
Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
Access Control
Anonymity and Privacy
Applied Cryptography
Auctions and Mechanisms
Authentication and Identification
Behavioral Aspects of Security and Privacy
Biometrics
Blockchain Applications
Certification and Audits
Cloud Computing and Data Outsourcing Security
Commercial Cryptographic Applications
Contactless Payment and Ticketing Systems
Cryptographic Currencies
Digital Cash and Payment Systems
Digital Rights Management
Distributed Ledgers
Economics of Security and Privacy
Electronic Commerce Security
Electronic Crime and Underground Markets
Fraud Detection and Forensics
Game Theory for Security and Privacy

Poster and panel notification January 27th, 2017
Final papers February 17th, 2017
Conference April 3-7, 2017
Submissions are accepted until 11:59pm, UTC-11.
Submissions are sought in the following categories:
(i) regular papers (15 pages LNCS format excluding references and
appendices),
(ii) short papers (8 pages LNCS format in total),
(iii) panel and workshop proposals (2 pages), and
(iv) posters (1 page).
The regular and short paper submissions must be anonymous, with no
author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references. In
contrast, panel, workshop proposals, and poster submissions must include
author names and affiliations.
Papers must be formatted in standard LNCS format and submitted as PDF
files. Submissions in other formats will be rejected. All papers must be
submitted electronically according to the instructions and forms found
here and at the submission site. For each accepted paper the conference
requires at least one registration at the general or academic rate.
Authors may only submit work that does not substantially overlap with
work that is currently submitted or has been accepted for publication to
a conference/workshop with proceedings or a journal. We consider double
submission serious research fraud and will treat it as such. In case of
doubt contact the program chairs for any clarifications at
fc17chair at ifca.ai.
Paper submissions should be uploaded through the conference submission
website. Poster submissions and panel proposals should be sent to
fc17chair at ifca.ai.
Regular Research Papers
Research papers should describe novel, previously unpublished scientific
contributions to the field, and they will be subject to rigorous peer
review. Accepted submissions will be included in the conference
proceedings to be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) series. Submissions are limited to 15 pages in
standard LNCS format excluding references and appendices. A total page
restriction may apply for the printed proceedings version. Committee
members are not required to read the appendices, so the full papers
should be intelligible without them. Regular papers must be anonymous
with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious
references.
Short Papers
Short papers are also subject to peer review, however, the intention is
to encourage authors to introduce work in progress, novel applications
and corporate/industrial experiences. Short papers will be evaluated
with a focus on novelty and potential for sparking participants'
interest and future research avenues. Short paper submissions are
limited to 8 pages in standard LNCS format in total. The paper title for
short papers should necessarily include the text "Short Paper:" Accepted
submissions will be included in the conference proceedings. Short papers
must be also anonymous with no author names, affiliations,
acknowledgments, or obvious references.
Panel Proposals
We especially would like to encourage submissions of panel proposals.
These should include a very brief description of the panel topics, as
well as of the prospective panelists. Accepted panel sessions will be
presented at the conference. Moreover, each participant will contribute
a one-page abstract to be published in the conference proceedings.
Please feel free to contact us directly if you would like to further
discuss the suitability of a certain topic. Panel submissions must not
be anonymous and should be up to 2 pages, sent to fc17chair at ifca.ai.
Posters
The poster session is the perfect venue to share a provocative opinion,
interesting established or preliminary work, or a cool idea that will
spark discussion. Poster presenters will benefit from a multi-hour
session to discuss their work, get exposure, and receive feedback from
attendees. Poster submissions should be a 1-page abstract (in the same
LNCS format) describing the poster. Please keep in mind that the poster
deadline is later than the main paper submission deadline. The poster
abstracts will be published in the proceedings. Poster proposals must
not be anonymous and should be sent to the posters chair at
fc17chair at ifca.ai.
Workshop Proposals
Proposals for workshops to be held at FC17 are also solicited. A
workshop can be full day or half day in length. Workshop proposals
should include: (i) a title, (ii) a call for papers, (iii) a brief
summary and justification - including how it would fit into the greater
FC scope, (iv) a (tentative) Program Committee and its Chair, (v)
one-paragraph biographies for key organizers, and (vi) the expected (or
previous - if workshop has been held in previous years) number of
submissions, participants and acceptance rates. Workshop proposals must
not be anonymous and should be sent to fc17workshops at ifca.ai.
The Rump Session
FC17 will also include the popular "rump session" held on one of the
evenings in an informal, social atmosphere. The rump session is a
program of short (5 minutes), informal presentations on works in
progress, off-the-cuff ideas, and any other matters pertinent to the
conference. Any conference attendee is welcome to submit a presentation
to the Rump Session Chair (to be announced at the conference). This
submission should consist of a talk title, the name of the presenter,
and, if desired, a very brief abstract. Submissions may be sent via
e-mail, or submitted in person in the morning on the day of the session.
Student Stipends
IFCA is seeking funding to continue its program of financial support
specifically for students attending FC, and students are encouraged to
submit work in anticipation that funding will be found. Previous grants
prioritized students presenting at the conference or associated
workshops and students fresh to the field, but all students are
encouraged to apply. If you are interested in applying for stipend
support, please email the FC17 general chairs at fc17general at ifca.ai
with subject line 'student stipend' and a letter of support from your
home institution confirming your student status and stating that a
stipend would help make it possible for you to attend the conference.
