The class is based on standard <em>LaTeX</em> classes and packages (mainly the article class with amsmath), and should be similar in use to the llncs class used for Springer鈥檚 proceedings. The class comes with a documentation that is meant as an example to show the usage of the class. For a quick conversion FAQ, see below.<br><br>The class is still in development and feedback and comments are welcome. The latest template can be <a title="Download iacr_tosc.zip" href="https://github.com/Cryptosaurus/iacrtrans/archive/master.zip" target="_blank" rel="noopener">downloaded from GitHub</a>, and issues with the template can be discussed there.</p> <h3>Timeline</h3> <p>All upcoming deadlines are <strong>23:59:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE).</strong></p> <p>Note that it is mandatory that accepted papers at the IACR Transactions on Symmetric Cryptology journal are presented at the corresponding FSE event.</p> <h3>Volume IACR Transactions on Symmetric Cryptology 2025, Issue 2:</h3> <ul> <li>Submission: 1 March 2025</li> <li>Rebuttal: 5-8 April 2025</li> <li>Decision: 1 May 2025</li> <li>Camera-ready deadline for accepted papers (and conditionally accepted): 28 May 2025</li> </ul> <h3>Volume IACR Transactions on Symmetric Cryptology 2025, Issue 3:</h3> <ul> <li>Submission: 1 June 2025</li> <li>Rebuttal: 5-8 July 2025</li> <li>Decision: 1 August 2025</li> <li>Camera-ready deadline for accepted papers (and conditionally accepted): 28 August 2025</li> </ul> <h3>Volume IACR Transactions on Symmetric Cryptology 2025, Issue 4:</h3> <ul> <li>Submission: 1 September 2025</li> <li>Rebuttal: 5-8 October 2025</li> <li>Decision: 1 November 2025</li> <li>Camera-ready deadline for accepted papers (and conditionally accepted): 28 November 2025</li> </ul> <h3>Volume IACR Transactions on Symmetric Cryptology 2026, Issue 1:</h3> <ul> <li>Submission: 23 November 2025</li> <li>Rebuttal: 2-6 January 2026</li> <li>Decision: 23 January 2026</li> <li>Camera-ready deadline for accepted papers (and conditionally accepted): 20 February 2026</li> </ul> <h3>Converting llncs Paper to iacrtrans</h3> <p>If you have a paper typeset with the llncs class, conversion should be relative easy. The following steps should be sufficient in most cases (for the submission version):</p> <ul> <li>Replace \documentclass{llncs} with \documentclass[submission]{iacrtrans}</li> <li>Replace \bibliographystyle{splncs03} with \bibliographystyle{alpha}</li> <li>Add a \keywords{} command before the abstract, with keywords seperated by \and</li> <li>Remove commands that might override the class style, such as \pagestyle{...} or \thispagestyle{...}, change of margins (e.g. with the geometry package), change of fonts,...</li> <li>See also the package documentation</li> </ul> </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>
