LaTeX Template

The "IACR Transactions on Symmetric Cryptology" journal requires articles to be typeset in the iacrtrans LaTeX class. The class is based on standard LaTeX classes and packages (mainly the article class with amsmath), and should be similar in use to the llncs class used for Springer’s 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.

The class is still in development and feedback and comments are welcome. The latest template can be downloaded from GitHub, and issues with the template can be discussed there.

Timeline

All upcoming deadlines are 23:59:59 Anywhere on Earth (AoE).

Note that it is highly encouraged that accepted papers at the IACR Transactions on Symmetric Cryptology journal are presented at the corresponding FSE event. In case no author can travel due to unavoidable reasons, a presentation has to be recorded before the conference, and the recorded version can be shown at the conference.
