 o  *design implementation of symmetric encryption algorithms*
  The first topic includes applications to authentication, broadcast
encryption, conference keying, digital cash and secret sharing. The
second includes hardware and software implementations, with an emphasis
on fast, systematically designed ciphers with practical applications.
  *Submissions* Authors should send *8 copies* of an extended abstract
of max 15 double-spaced pages, clearly indicating the results achieved,
