Deal Colleagues,

We are happy to announce the birth of a new conference on
Information-Theoretic Cryptography (ITC). Information-theoretic
cryptography studies security in the presence of computationally 
unbounded
adversaries and covers a wide array of topics at the intersection of
cryptography, coding theory, information-theory and theory of 
computation.
Notable examples include randomness extraction and privacy 
amplification,
secret sharing, secure multiparty computation and proof systems,
private-information retrieval and locally decodable codes, 
authentication
codes and non-malleable codes, differential privacy, quantum information
processing, and information-theoretic foundations of physical-layer
security. See https://itcrypto.github.io for more information.

ITC replaces the International Conference on Information Theoretic 
Security
(ICITS), which was dedicated to the same topic and ran 2005-2017. ITC 
can
be seen as a reboot of ICITS with a new name, a new steering committee 
and
a renewed excitement.  (beware: there is  a fake website for ICITS 2019
created by a known fraudulent organization
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Academy_of_Science,_Engineering_and_Technology>
)

The conference will have two tracks: a conference track and  a “greatest
hits” track. The conference track will operate like a traditional
conference with the usual review process and published proceedings. The
“greatest hits” track consists of invited talks (not included in the
proceedings) that highlight the most exciting recent advances in the 
area.
We solicit nominations for “greatest hits” talks from the community.

The first ITC conference will take place in Boston, MA on June 17-19,
2020 (just
before STOC).  The submission deadline for ITC 2020 is Dec 16, 2019 and 
the
call for papers (including a nomination procedure for the greatest hits
track) is available here:  https://itcrypto.github.io/2020.html

Please submit your best work to ITC 2020! We hope to see many of you 
there!

best regards,
The Steering Committee:  Benny Applebaum (Chair), Ivan Damgård , 
Yevgeniy
Dodis,  Yuval Ishai, Ueli Maurer,  Kobbi Nissim, Krzysztof Pietrzak, 
Manoj
Prabhakaran, Adam Smith, Yael Tauman Kalai, Stefano Tessaro, Vinod
Vaikuntanathan, Hoeteck Wee, Daniel Wichs, Mary Wootters,  Chaoping 
Xing,
