1. Journal of Mathematical Cryptology (JMC)
Dear Colleagues,
As Managing Editors of the new Journal of Mathematical Cryptology (published by Walter de Gruyter) we would like to invite you to submit scholarly articles in the area of mathematical cryptology which adhere to the scope of the journal.
The upcoming 2nd issue of JMC presents the articles:
- Robert D. Silverman: Optimal Parameterization of SNFS (20 pages)
- Robert A. Walker II and Charles Colbourn: Perfect Hash Families: Constructions and Existence (26 pages)
- D. Engelbert, R. Overbeck and A. Schmidt: A Summary of McEliece-Type Cryptosystems and their Security (50 pages)
The abstracts of the papers from the 1st issue of JMC are now available at http://www.atypon-link.com/WDG/loi/jmc
Submission instructions and further information on JMC can be found at http://www.degruyter.com/journals/JMC
With kind regards,
