## Call for papers

The International Conference on Cryptology and Network Security (CANS) is a well-established forum for research in cryptography, cybersecurity, and network security. CANS 2026 marks the 25th edition of the conference and will be held in Wollongong, Australia, a coastal city just south of Sydney, known for its beaches, dramatic escarpment, and relaxed atmosphere. CANS brings together researchers from both cryptography and systems/network security, with an emphasis on work that bridges theory and practice. The conference seeks academic, industry, and government submissions on all theoretical and practical aspects of cryptology and network security, and its extended domains in modern computing systems. Topics of Interest Submissions are invited on all aspects of cryptology and network security, including but not limited to: Cryptography Public-key cryptography, including post-quantum cryptography Symmetric-key cryptography and cryptanalysis Hash functions, MACs, and authenticated encryption Zero-knowledge proofs and secure multiparty computation Fully homomorphic encryption and advanced cryptographic primitives Lattice-, code-, isogeny-, and other post-quantum systems Cryptographic protocols and formal security models Systems and Network Security Network security and protocols Distributed systems security and consensus Cloud, edge, and IoT security Software and systems security Malware, intrusion detection, and threat analysis Privacy-enhancing technologies Applied cryptography in deployed systems Cross-Cutting Topics Implementation security and side-channel analysis Hardware security Usable security and human factors AI/ML for security and security of AI systems Blockchain and decentralized systems Measurement studies and empirical security
