Original research papers on all aspects of public-key cryptography, covering theory, implementations and applications, and related fields, are solicited for submission to PKC 2024. In more detail, areas of interest include research on:
Please note that pure information-theoretic and symmetric key subjects, e.g. block cipher design and attacks, are not in scope.
This year, we particularly welcome submissions on the theme ofThese submissions must still meet the acceptance criteria for PKC above. Please note that pure policy or law papers, while important, are not in scope.
Also, this year, we will be accepting SoK papers that evaluate, systematize, and contextualize existing knowledge, as such papers can provide a high value to our community. Suitable papers are those that provide an important new viewpoint on an established, major research area, support or challenge long-held beliefs in such an area with compelling evidence, or present a convincing, comprehensive new taxonomy of such an area. Survey papers without such insights are not appropriate and may be rejected without full review. Submissions will be distinguished by the prefix “SoK:” in the title and a checkbox on the submission form. These papers must meet the criteria above for inclusion in PKC, but will be assessed based on their treatment of existing work and value to the community, rather than on their new results.
