Submitted articles undergo a journal-style <strong>double-blind peer reviewing</strong> process. Accepted papers are published in <strong>Diamond Open Access</strong> (free availability from day one) by Ruhr University Bochum in an issue of the IACR Transactions on Symmetric Cryptology (ToSC) journal.</p> <p>The papers published in <strong>Volume 2024, Issues 2, 3, and 4</strong>, and in <strong>Volume 2025, Issue 1</strong> are invited for presentation at <strong>FSE 2025</strong>. For detailed information on the submission and notification deadlines see <a href="https://tosc.iacr.org/Submission">Paper Submission</a>.</p> <p>For any further information, please view the <a href="https://tosc.iacr.org/FAQ">FAQ page</a> and the <a href="https://tosc.iacr.org/Call">Call for Papers</a>.</p> <h3><a name="AimScope"></a> Aim and Scope of the Journal</h3> <p>Original research papers on symmetric cryptology are invited for submission to ToSC. The scope of ToSC concentrates on fast and secure primitives for symmetric cryptography, including the design and analysis of block ciphers, stream ciphers, encryption schemes, hash functions, message authentication codes, (cryptographic) permutations, authenticated encryption schemes, cryptanalysis and evaluation tools, and security issues and solutions regarding their implementation. ToSC also solicits submissions for Systematization of Knowledge (SoK) papers. These papers aim at reviewing and contextualizing the existing literature in a particular area in order to systematize the existing knowledge in that area. To be considered for publication, they must provide an added value beyond prior work, such as novel insights or reasonably questioning previous assumptions.</p> <h3>Publishing Ethics, Principles and Malpractice Statement</h3> <p>The IACR advances open access publications and thus aims to follow publishing principles promoted by the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), the Committee of Publication Ethics (COPE), the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA), and the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME). See <a href="https://tosc.iacr.org/ethics">the Publication Ethics page</a> for more information regarding these principles and publication ethics.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="pkp_structure_sidebar left" role="complementary"> <div class="pkp_block block_custom" id="customblock-iacr-logo"> <h2 class="title pkp_screen_reader">iacr-logo</h2> <div class="content"> <p><a title="IACR logo" href="https://www.iacr.org"><img src="/public/site/images/jwloka/iacrlogo_trans.png" width="100" height="100"></a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="pkp_structure_footer_wrapper" role="contentinfo"> <a id="pkp_content_footer"></a> <div class="pkp_structure_footer"> <div class="pkp_footer_content"> <p><a title="Imprint" href="https://tosc.iacr.org/index.php/ToSC/Impressum">Imprint</a> | <a title="Personal Data Notice" href="https://ojs.ub.rub.de/index.php/index/PDN">Personal Data Notice</a></p> </div> <div class="pkp_brand_footer"> <a href="https://tosc.iacr.org/index.php/ToSC/about/aboutThisPublishingSystem"> <img alt="More information about the publishing system, Platform and Workflow by OJS/PKP." src="https://tosc.iacr.org/templates/images/ojs_brand.png"> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <script src="https://tosc.iacr.org/lib/pkp/lib/vendor/components/jquery/jquery.min.js?v=3.4.0.5" type="text/javascript"></script><script src="https://tosc.iacr.org/lib/pkp/lib/vendor/components/jqueryui/jquery-ui.min.js?v=3.4.0.5" type="text/javascript"></script><script src="https://tosc.iacr.org/plugins/themes/default/js/lib/popper/popper.js?v=3.4.0.5" type="text/javascript"></script><script src="https://tosc.iacr.org/plugins/themes/default/js/lib/bootstrap/util.js?v=3.4.0.5" type="text/javascript"></script><script src="https://tosc.iacr.org/plugins/themes/default/js/lib/bootstrap/dropdown.js?v=3.4.0.5" type="text/javascript"></script><script src="https://tosc.iacr.org/plugins/themes/default/js/main.js?v=3.4.0.5" type="text/javascript"></script> </body> </html>
