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.<br><br>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.</span></font></h3><h3 style="font-family:Google Sans,sans-serif;line-height:1.15;margin-top:0px"></h3></span><h3 style="font-family:Google
