address given below.
The extended abstract should start with the title, the names of the

data security. Submissions are limited to 15 single-spaced pages of
12pt type. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to
authors no later than January 12, 1998.
Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will
be presented at the conference.
Proceedings
Proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer Verlag in
their Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Preproceedings
will be available at the conference, but final versions will not be
due until afterwards, giving authors the opportunity to revise their
papers based on presentations and discussions at the meeting.
Instructions and deadlines for submission of final papers will be sent
later to authors of accepted papers.
Rump Session
In addition to the regular conference program, a rump session will be
held to provide an opportunity for less formal presentations.
Although the rump session will be organized during the conference
itself, any advance proposals may be sent to the Program Co-Chair at
the email address given below. Rump session contributions will not
appear in the conference proceedings.
Stipends
A very limited number of stipends may be available to those unable to
obtain funding to attend the conference. Students whose papers are
accepted and who will present the paper themselves are encouraged to
apply if such assistance is needed. Requests for stipends should be
addressed to one of the General Chairs.
Registration
Information about conference registration and on travel, hotels, and
Anguilla itself will follow in a separate general announcement. There
will be special discount registration rates for authors of accepted
submissions, full-time academics, and students.
Workshop
A workshop, intended for anyone with commercial software development
experience who wants hands-on familiarity with the issues and
technology of financial cryptography, is planned in conjunction with
FC98, to be held during the week preceding the conference. For
