PQCrypto 2025: Call for Papers

The International Workshop on Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQCrypto 2025) will take place in Taipei, Taiwan from April 8-10, 2025. This conference serves as a forum for researchers to present results and exchange ideas on cryptography in an era with large-scale quantum computers.

Topics of Interest

Original research papers on all technical aspects of cryptographic research related to post-quantum cryptography are solicited. Topics of interest include (but are not restricted to):

• Cryptanalysis of post-quantum systems, and quantum cryptanalysis.
• Cryptosystems that have the potential to be safe against quantum computers such as:
  • code-based,
  • hash-based,
  • isogeny-based,
  • lattice-based, and
  • multivariate constructions.
• Implementations of, and side-channel attacks on, post-quantum cryptosystems.
• Integration of and migration to post-quantum cryptography.
• Security models for the post-quantum era.

Important Dates (AoE)

• Initial submission deadline: 25 Oct 2024
• Final submission deadline: 1 Nov 2024
• Notification of acceptance: 6 Jan 2025
• Final version due: 20 Jan 2025

Paper Submission

• Submission Server: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pqcrypto2025
• Instructions to authors:
  • Accepted papers are planned to be published in Springer’s LNCS series.
  • Submissions must not exceed 30 pages, excluding appendices and references, and must be in a single column format in 10pt fonts using the default llncs class without adjustments.
  • Additional material (datasets, code, long machine proofs, etc.) can be submitted as a separate file. Reviewers are not required to read appendices and additional material.
  • If the submission is accepted, the length of the final version is at most 35 pages including references and appendices.
  • Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published in a journal or a conference/workshop with proceedings, or has submitted/is planning to submit before the author notification deadline.
  • The review process is single-blinded.
  • The submission should begin with a title, the authors' names and affiliations, a short abstract, and a list of keywords. Its introduction should summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader.
  • All papers must be submitted with a meaningful abstract by the initial submission deadline. This is a firm deadline. Papers not registered by this deadline will not be considered.
  • Authors may update or withdraw their submission at any time between the initial and final submission deadline.
