ECRYPT's virtual lab VAMPIRE organizes SPEED-CC -- Software Performance Enhancement for Encryption and Decryption and Cryptographic Compilers. This conference comes 2 years after the first SPEED conference in Amsterdam. The first conference addressed the speed of secret-key and public-key cryptography. For this second issue we explicitly broadened the scope to include cryptographic compilers.

On the execution side speed improvements can come from better systems, better algorithms, and better software; on the implementation side, programmer's time is greatly reduced by suitable compiling tools that are architecture aware, automate extra design goals such as side-channel or timing invariance, or can take a complex cryptographic system and break it down to already implemented and well-tested components.

SPEED-CC will start Monday morning at 09:30 with an invited talk, registration opens at 09:00. The workshop will end around 5pm on Tuesday. There will be time for a rump session at which participants can present their latest findings and results. More details to follow soon.
There will be a few invited talks along with contributed talks which are selected based on submitted papers and a refereeing process. (As for all ECRYPT conferences, there will be no formal proceedings for SPEED-CC but a workshop record with all accepted papers.)

Invited Speaker:

• Roberto M. Avanzi (Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany)
• Martin Geisler (University of Aarhus, Denmark)
• Emilia Käsper (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium)
• Benny Pinkas (University of Haifa, Israel)
• Bo-Yin Yang (Academia Sinica, Taiwan)

Call for papers:

There will be no formal proceedings, but a handout with abstracts will be provided to all participants. (This avoids submissions to SPEED-CC from conflicting with submissions to forthcoming conferences with proceedings).

Call for contributions: SPEED-CC_CFP.txt

SPEED asks for submissions on the following topics:

• software implementation of hash functions and symmetric key systems
• software implementation of public key systems
• software implementation of zero-knowledge proofs
• software implementation of multiparty computation
• algorithmic speed-ups
• CPU specific speed-ups
  
• benchmarking of symmetric and public key systems
• systems submitted to eBACS (eBATS, eBASC, eBASH) see bench.cr.yp.to
  
• compilers to automate producing efficient code and executables
• compilers to introduce cryptographic security into code
• cryptographic software engineering tools

Important dates:

The submission should start with a title, a list of the authors together with their affiliations and a short abstract describing the content of the paper. This should be followed by an extended abstract of at least 5 and at most 20 pages including appendices. The authors of accepted papers must guarantee to present their paper at the workshop.
