Paper Submission

---

All SPACE 2023 submissions must be original and not simultaneously submitted to or published in another journal or conference. SPACE 2023 follows a strict double-blind policy: all submissions must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references. Full paper submissions must be written in English, should strictly follow the LNCS format, and should beat most 20 pages (including the bibliography but excluding clearly marked appendices). Submission to SPACE will imply the willingness of atleast one of the authors to register and present the paper in the conference. Authors should mention in abstract if a submission should be considered as short paper/work-in-progress. Authors should consult Springer's Instructions for Authors of Proceedings and use either the LaTeX or the Word templates provided on the authors' page for the preparation of their papers.

Author guidelines, as well as Latex and Word templates are available at conference proceedings guidelines

Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. Springer's proceedings LaTeX templates are also available in Overleaf. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.

Thirteenth International Conference on Security, Privacy and Applied Cryptographic Engineering 2023 (SPACE 2023) is a continuation of the series of conferences, which started in 2011. This annual event is devoted to various aspects of security, privacy, applied cryptography, and cryptographic engineering. This year, we are organizing a poster session for showcasing works in progress for early-stage work in security and cryptographic engineering. The submissions will be non-archival and accepted posters will only be presented to the conference attendees.

We invite young researchers (students, researchers who have recently completed their degree, researchers working in academia, industry or elsewhere) to present their ongoing research projects, challenges dealt with in their research domain and prospective new research directions that are in-line with the theme of the conference. The submissions will go through a light peer review process.

Submission Instructions

---

The poster authors need to submit a title, names of authors/affiliations and an abstract (maximum 300 words) via email to SPACE 2023, on the following email addresses: Dr. Bodhisatwa Mazumdar and Dr. Sugata Gangopadhyay

Please clearly mention "POSTER SUBMISSION FOR SPACE 2023" in the subject of your email. The deadline for submission is October 30th, 2023. We will contact successful poster submissions with presentation instructions.
