Introduction

Security and transmission efficiency have become important factors that
influence the success of communications. Quantum communications, which can
maintain high security of communication systems and make a serious push
towards network compatibility, has fascinated many scientists and
researchers for developing secure and efficient quantum communication
systems. In recent years, new techniques, concepts and applications about
quantum communications have been proposed to break the limitation of
quantum physics, and the emerging and future technologies are driven by the
need for fast quantum random number generators (QRNG), reliable fiber-based
quantum key distribution (QKD), quantum repeaters and free space quantum
communications. Recently, multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MIMO)
technique has been widely studied in wireless communications because it can
provide significant increases in data throughput and link range without
additional bandwidth or transmission power. More researchers have also
recognized that MIMO technique can be applied in more communication systems
to improve their capacity of transmission. SCQ2011 aims at providing a
forum for discussing the latest academic and industrial research results
related to security and quantum communications, and MIMO technique in the
area of networking and communication systems.


The 2nd IEEE International Symposium on Security and Quantum Communications
(SQC-12) will be held in conjunction with "The 11th IEEE International
Conference on Trust, Security and Privacy in Computing and Communications
(IEEE TrustCom-12)". It follows the success of SQC-11 in Changsha, China.
It aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners in the world
working on theories and technologies for ubiquitous artifacts to function
safely for different purposes; for ubiquitous systems to work safely in
various situations; and for ubiquitous environments to behave safely with
all people.


Scope and Interests

IEEE SQC-12 is an international symposium for presenting and discussing
emerging ideas and trends in aspects of Security and Quantum
Communications, but are not limited to:

(1) Quantum Cryptography and Quantum Communications
(2) Quantum Measurement and Quantum Metrology
(3) Quantum Computing and Quantum Information Theory
(4) Implementations of Quantum Information Processing
(5) Applications of Quantum Communications and Networking
(6) Free-Space Quantum Communication on Earth and Space
(7) Entanglement as a Resource for Quantum Communications
(8) Network Protocols and Wireless Networks
(9) Information Coding and Compressing Techniques
(10) MIMO and OFDM


Submission and Publication Information

The accepted papers from this symposium will be published by IEEE Computer
Society in IEEE TrustCom-12 conference proceedings (indexed by EI
Compendex). Papers should be written in English conforming to the IEEE
conference proceedings format (8.5" x 11", Two-Column). Papers should be
submitted through the paper submission system at the symposium website.
Each paper is limited to 6 pages (or 8 pages with the over length charge).
Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be published in special
issues indexed by SCI and EI (IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed
Systems; Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience - Wiley;
Journal of Security and Communication Networks - Wiley). Submitting a paper
to the symposium means that, if the paper is accepted, at least one author
should attend the symposium and present the paper.
