<div dir="auto"><div>Hi Goichiro and Bo-Yin,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Last year there were 9 volumes while only 127 papers. Do you think we can have 10 volumes this year, as we have 144 papers? The reason to have more volumes is about the sponsorship from Springer. We can have 1000 euro for each volume and the sponsorship can be used to pay for student travel stipends. So if we can have 10 volumes (instead of the minimum of 7) we can have more sponsorship from Springer and benefit more students.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Thanks for your kind consideration. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Cheers,</div><div dir="auto">Joseph </div><div><br></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Dr Joseph Liu<br></div>Professor of Cybersecurity<br></div><div>Faculty of Information Technology, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia <br></div></div>Personal website: <a href="http://users.monash.edu.au/~kailiu/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">http://users.monash.edu.au/~kailiu/</a><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, 15 Aug 2025, 11:06 Celine Chang, <<a href="mailto:celine.chang@springer.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">celine.chang@springer.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Dear Goichiro and Bo-Yin,<br>

Yes, we generally encourage you to distribute the papers evenly across the assigned volumes, keeping each volume under 700 pages.<br>
<br>
If you find that you have more volume numbers than needed, feel free to return the extras to us—we’ll recycle them. On the other hand, if the assigned volume numbers are insufficient, we’ll need to allocate a new set. Please note that, in principle, the volume numbers should be consecutive.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>

Dear Dr. Chang,<br>
<br>
Thank you very much for your prompt reply.<br>
We would appreciate it if you could let us know once the LNCS volume number has been assigned.<br>
(Does this depend on how many volumes the Asiacrypt 2025 proceedings will be split into?)<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Goichiro and Bo-Yin<br>

Dear Goichiro and Bo-Yin,<br>
<br>
Thank you for your prompt response.<br>
<br>
Please find attached the checklist of files to be submitted to Springer.<br>
<br>
Each volume can accommodate up to 700 pages, so we will assign you seven volume numbers. You may then proceed with preparing the required files and documents.<br>
<br>
According to our schedule, submitting the materials by October 20 should allow us to deliver the proceedings before AsiaCrypt 2025 begins. That said, we encourage you to submit the final manuscripts as early as possible to provide ample buffer time for any unforeseen circumstances if any.<br>
<br>
Thank you and best wishes,<br>

Dear Dr. Chang,<br>
<br>
Thank you very much for formally accepting the publication of the Asiacrypt 2025 proceedings.<br>
We will proceed with the preparations as per your instructions.<br>
<br>
We would appreciate your guidance and confirmation on the following points:<br>
<br>
1. For each accepted paper, is it sufficient to submit the LaTeX source files, PDF files, and the copyright transfer form (IACR version), along with the front matter and the IACR logo?<br>
<br>
2. The review process for Asiacrypt 2025 has already been completed, and we expect to publish 144 papers.<br>
We are planning to allocate up to 30 pages per paper in the proceedings.<br>
Therefore, the total page count is expected to be approximately 144 × 30 = 4320 pages, plus some additional pages.<br>
Would this be acceptable?<br>
<br>
3. At this point, we are planning to provide only the online version of the proceedings to participants during the conference.<br>
In that case, as you mentioned, is it acceptable to submit all the files by October 20?<br>
<br>
Thank you very much for your continued support.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Goichiro and Bo-Yin<br>
<br>

Dear Goichiro Hanaoka,<br>
Thank you for your proposal regarding the publication of the proceedings of the 31st International Conference on the Theory and Application of Cryptology and Information Security (ASIACRYPT 2025) with Springer.

The proceedings should fit with approximately 1~2 LNCS volume (between 140 and 700 pages), and all papers must be written in English. If there are any concerns about the quality of language, systematic support for the improvement should be made available.<br>
