Call For Papers

ACNS 2026 (International Conference on Applied Cryptography and Network Security) is a CCF C / CORE B / QUALIS B1 conference held in New York City, New York, USA on 2026-06-22. The paper submission deadline is 2026-01-23. Acceptance notifications are sent on 2026-03-19.

Papers on all technical aspects of information security and privacy are solicited for submission. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to the following topics Core Cryptography and Fundamentals This category includes foundational cryptographic concepts and methods. It's the bedrock of security research. Applied cryptography Cryptanalysis Cryptographic primitives and protocols Lightweight cryptography Post-quantum security AI, Machine Learning, and Security This is a rapidly growing area that deserves its own section to highlight both the use of AI in security and the security of AI systems themselves. Artificial Intelligence (AI) for security Automated security analysis Security and privacy of systems based on ML and AI Security of ML Security using ML Game-theoretic analysis of secure systems Systems, Network, and Application Security This section focuses on the practical security of systems, from hardware to software and networks. Authentication, biometric security and privacy Cloud security and privacy Critical infrastructure security and privacy Email, app, and web security and privacy Hardware Security Identity management Internet-of-Things security and privacy Mobile and wireless security Network security protocols Secure distributed computing and consensus protocols Systems security and privacy Trust management and trustworthy computing in networks or systems Privacy and Data Protection Given the increasing importance of data privacy, this category groups topics dedicated to protecting user data and anonymity. Data protection Metadata privacy and censorship resistance Privacy-enhancing technologies Usable security and privacy Blockchain security and privacy Security Attacks, Threats, and Analysis This category includes research on new attack vectors, malicious software, and methods for analyzing security vulnerabilities. Internet fraud and cybercrime Malicious code and unsolicited software Side-channel analysis and physical attacks Emerging and Special Topics This section can be a catch-all for topics that are either highly specialized or represent new, forward-looking areas of research. Future Internet security and privacy Secure electronic voting Security and privacy metrics
