ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
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
commercial contexts. The conference covers all aspects of securing
transactions and systems. Original works focusing on both fundamental
and applied real-world deployments on all aspects surrounding commerce
security are solicited. Submissions need not be exclusively concerned
with cryptography. Systems security and interdisciplinary works are
particularly encouraged.

details, see the corresponding sections below.
**********************************************************************
GENERAL INFORMATION
For each accepted paper the conference requires at least one
registration at the general or academic rate, and paper authors must
sign the IFCA copyright form when submitting the final version.
Alternatively, individual papers can be published as fully open
access—the publisher charges authors a fee for this.
http://ifca.ai/documents/copyright.html
**********************************************************************
FORMAT
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.
<https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines>
**********************************************************************
ANONYMOUS SUBMISSION
Regular and short research paper submissions as well as SoKs must be
anonymized with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or
obvious references. Failure to properly anonymize submitted papers is
grounds for a desk rejection without review. It is acceptable (but by
no means required) for submitted papers to be published online in
non-anonymous form (e.g., on authors' websites or archives like the
Cryptology ePrint Archive or arXiv.org). Program committee members
will be instructed not to actively seek to de-anonymize papers.
**********************************************************************
ORIGINAL SUBMISSIONS
Authors may submit only work that does not substantially overlap with
work that is currently submitted or has been accepted for publication
to any other peer-reviewed conference/workshop with proceedings or a
journal. We consider double submission serious research fraud and
will treat it as such. Note that it is acceptable for papers to
appear in non-peer-reviewed formats (for example, as technical reports
or in online archives such as ePrint). In case of doubt contact the
program chairs for any clarifications.
**********************************************************************
ETHICS AND ETIQUETTE
Authors are required to read and follow this information on ethics and
etiquette: http://fc24.ifca.ai/ethics.html
**********************************************************************
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Authors must report in the submission site any conflicts with program
committee members. A conflict exists if an author has the same
affiliation as a committee member, has ever acted as their PhD
supervisor or been supervised by them, has a close personal
relationship with them, or if they have been co-authors on a paper
within the past two years.
**********************************************************************
RESUBMISSION TO AFFILIATED WORKSHOPS
Papers that are submitted but ultimately not accepted to the main
conference may be considered for acceptance at one of the associated
workshops. If you would like to take advantage of this, please
indicate this preference when submitting your paper.
**********************************************************************
EVALUATION CRITERIA
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.
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, excluding
references. The title for short papers must begin with the text
"Short Paper:". Accepted submissions will be included in the
conference proceedings. The authors of some submissions not accepted
as regular research papers may be offered the option of acceptance as
a short paper.
Systematization of Knowledge Papers
We also solicit Systematization of Knowledge (SoK) papers. To be
suitable for publication, SoK articles must provide an added value
beyond a literature review, such as novel insights, identification of
research gaps, or challenges to commonly held assumptions. SoK paper
submissions are limited to 20 pages in standard LNCS format excluding
references and appendices. Accepted submissions will be included in
the conference proceedings. 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. The paper title for systematization of knowledge papers
must begin with the text "SoK:".
**********************************************************************
WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
Proposals for workshops to be held in connection with the conference
are solicited. A workshop can be a full day or half day in length.
Workshop proposals should include:
1. Title
2. (Draft) Call for papers
3. Brief summary and justification, including how it would fit into
the greater FC scope
4. (Tentative) Program Committee and its chair(s)
5. One-paragraph biographies for key organizers, the expected (or
previous, if the 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
fc24workshops at ifca.ai. Proposals received after the submission
deadline will be considered on a rolling basis for any remaining
slots.
**********************************************************************
TUTORIALS
Proposals for tutorials to be given in connection with the conference
are solicited. A tutorial can be a full day or half day in length.
Tutorial proposals should include:
1. Title
2. Description
3. Name(s) of presenter(s)
4. Brief biographies for all presenters
5. Information about previous tutorials given by the presenter(s)
Tutorial proposals must not be anonymous and should be sent to
fc24workshops at ifca.ai (the same address as for workshop proposals).
Proposals received after the submission deadline will be considered on
a rolling basis for any remaining slots.
**********************************************************************
RUMP SESSION
The conference 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.
