***********************************************************************
Workshop on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems 2000
(CHES 2000)
http://www.ece.WPI.EDU/Research/crypt/ches
Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Worcester, Massachusetts, USA
August 17 & 18, 2000
Second Call for Papers
General Information
The focus of this workshop is on all aspects of cryptographic
hardware and embedded system design. The workshop will be a forum of
new results from the research community as well as from the industry.
Of special interest are contributions that describe new methods for
efficient hardware implementations and high-speed software for
embedded systems, e.g., smart cards, microprocessors, DSPs, etc. We
hope that the workshop will help to fill the gap between the
cryptography research community and the application areas of
cryptography. Consequently, we encourage submission from academia,
industry, and other organizations. All submitted papers will be
reviewed.
This will be the second CHES workshop. The first workshop, CHES '99,
was held at WPI in August of 1999 and was very well received by
academia and industry. There were 170 participants, more than half of
which were from outside the United States.
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Computer architectures for public-key cryptosystems
* Computer architectures for secret-key cryptosystems
* Reconfigurable computing and applications in cryptography
* Cryptographic processors and co-processors
* Modular and Galois field arithmetic architectures
* Tamper resistance on the chip and board level
* Architectures for smart cards
* Tamper resistance for smart cards
* Efficient algorithms for embedded processors
* Special-purpose hardware for cryptanalysis
* Fast network encryption
* True and pseudo random number generators

Instructions for Authors
Authors are invited to submit original papers. The preferred
submission form is by electronic mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Papers
should be formatted in 12pt type and not exceed 12 pages (not
including the title page and the bibliography). The title page should

indication of the corresponding author), an abstract, and a small
list of key words. Please submit the paper in Postscript or PDF. We
recommend that you generate the PS or PDF file using LaTeX, however,
MS Word is also acceptable. All submissions will be refereed.
Only original research contributions will be considered. Submissions
must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors have
published elsewhere or have submitted in parallel to any other
conferences or workshops that have proceedings.
Workshop Proceedings
The post-proceedings will be published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture
Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Notice that in order to be
included in the proceedings, the authors of an accepted paper must
guarantee to present their contribution at the workshop.

Location
WPI is in Worcester, the second largest city in New England. The city
is 80 km (50 miles) west of Boston and 280 km (175 miles) north-east
of New York City.
Worcester is home to a wealth of cultural treasures, many of which
are just a short distance from WPI. These include the historic
Higgins Armory Museum, which houses one of the world's largest
collections of armor; the EcoTarium (formerly New England Science
Center), one of the only museums in the country dedicated to
environmental education; and the beautifully restored Mechanics Hall,
one of America's finest concert halls. The Worcester Art Museum,
holding one of the nation's finest collections, and the
world-renowned American Antiquarian Society, with the largest
collection of items printed during the nation's colonial period, are
within two blocks of the WPI campus. Worcester is also well known for
its ten colleges, which cooperate through the Colleges of Worcester
Consortium.
Recreation areas within easy driving distance include Boston and Cape
Cod to the east, the White and Green mountains to the north, and the
Berkshires to the west.
August weather in New England is usually very pleasant with average
temperatures of 20 C (70 F).
Workshop Sponsors
