6th International Conference on Information Theoretic Security (ICITS)
ICITS is a conference about all aspects of information-theoretic security and brings together the leading researchers in the areas of cryptography, information theory and quantum information. It is the successor conference to the 2005 IEEE Information Theory Workshop on Theory and Practice in Information - Theoretic Security (ITW 2005) on Awaji Island, Japan. Previous ICITS conferences were held in:
- ICITS 2007 in Madrid, Spain,
- ICITS 2008 in Calgary, Canada,
- ICITS 2009 in Shizuoka, Japan,
- ICITS 2011 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
ICITS 2012 will be held from August 15 to 17, and it takes place at Université de Montréal in Montreal, Canada.
Topics of interest include (but are not restricted to):
- Physical layer security
- Multiparty computations
- Codes, lattices & cryptography
- Authentication codes
- Randomness extraction
- Cryptography from noisy channels
- Wiretap channels
- Bounded-storage models
- Information-theoretic reductions
- Quantum cryptography
- Quantum information theory
- Nonlocality and nonsignaling
- Key and message rates
- Secret sharing
- Physical models & assumptions
- Network coding security
- Adversarial channel models
- Information-theoretic tools in computational settings
- Implementation challenges
- Biometric security
The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer in Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
