This is the ninth in a series of conferences that aims to bring together the leading researchers in the areas of information theory, quantum information theory, and cryptography. ICITS covers all aspects of information- theoretic security, from relevant mathematical tools to theoretical modeling to implementation. ICITS is an event in cooperation with The International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR). Papers on all technical aspects of these topics are solicited for submission. Areas of interest include, but are not restricted to:

Physical layer security

Codes, lattices & cryptography
Randomness extraction

Wiretap channels
Information-theoretic reductions
Quantum information theory
Key and message rates

Physical models & assumptions
Adversarial channel models
Implementation challenges 
Multiparty computations
Authentication codes
Cryptography from noisy channels 
Bounded-storage models
Quantum cryptography
Nonlocality and nonsignaling
Secret sharing
Network coding security
Information-theoretic tools in computational settings
Biometric security
