Announcing the second Information-Theoretic Crypto (ITC21) conference.
Submission deadline is Feb 1.

See e-mail below for details, or listen to Benny and his daugter give an
amazing musical performance <https://youtu.be/kZT1icVoTp8> explaining 
what
ITC is all about!

We are happy to announce the second edition of the recently created
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.

The conference will have two tracks: a conference track and a spotlight
track.

The conference track will operate like a traditional conference with the
usual review process and published proceedings. The spotlight track
consists of invited talks (not included in the proceedings) that 
highlight
the most exciting recent advances in the area. We solicit nominations 
for
spotlight talks from the community. (See the Call for Papers.)

The second ITC conference will take place in Bertinoro, Italy on July
23-26, 2021. (We may turn the conference into an online-only event
depending on the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we will allow
online participation even if the conference will take place in person.)
The submission deadline for ITC 2021 is Feb 1, 2021 and the call for 
papers
(including a nomination procedure for the greatest hits track) is 
available
here: https://itcrypto.github.io/2021/.

Please submit your best work to ITC 2021! We hope to see many of you 
there!
