			NOTE CHANGE OF DATES

The  first Fast Software Encryption workshop  was held in Cambridge in
December 1993,  and followed by  two workshops  in Leuven  in December
1994, and in Cambridge in February 1996.  The workshop concentrates on
all aspects of fast ciphers, including the design and cryptanalysis of
block and stream ciphers, as well  as hash functions.  The fourth Fast
Software Encryption  workshop will be held  from January 20 to January
22, 1997,  in  Haifa,  Israel.    The  workshop is  organized by   the
Technion,  in  co-operation  with  the International   Association for
Cryptologic Research.

functions.  It  is strongly preferred  that the papers be processed in
LaTeX using llncs.sty, and not  exceed 15 pages  in length.  The LaTeX
files are to be sent electronically, together with the email and smail
