Eurocrypt 2023, the 42nd Annual International Conference on the Theory and Applications of Cryptology and Information Security, will take place in Lyon, France, France. The conference is organized by the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR).

Original research papers are welcomed on any cryptographic topic, including but not limited to:

    foundational theory and mathematics
    the design, proposal, and analysis of cryptographic primitives and protocols
    secure implementation and optimization in hardware or software
    applied aspects of cryptography

Schedule

Eurocrypt 2023 will operate a two-round review system. In the first round, the program committee selects those submissions that will proceed to the second round. Authors of submissions that have not been selected during the first round of reviews, will receive a first round notification (early reject) and may henceforth resubmit to other conferences.

Rather than an explicit one-round rebuttal, the conference will use targeted (potentially multi-round) interaction between the PC and the authors, which can happen at any time during the review process. This interaction will be limited to PC requests for clarification, or asking authors to respond to objective criticisms (technical errors, insufficiently supported claims, etc.) that may significantly impact the reviewers' accept/reject recommendation. Authors will not yet be able to see the full reviews as part of the author response process. Authors will be provided additional details and guidance when receiving such questions from the PC.

In the second round the program committee further reviews the selected submissions by taking into account the interactive discussion above. The committee then makes the final decision of acceptance or rejection.

Authors should not contact Program Committee members (nor the area chairs) directly.

Conference Proceedings

Proceedings will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science and will be available at the conference. Authors of accepted papers must complete the IACR copyright assignment form for their work to be published in the proceedings, and guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference. At the conference, presentations will be recorded and published for the sake of people who cannot attend the conference or the track in which the presentation was scheduled.

Stipends

Students whose papers have been accepted and who present their talks at the conference will have their registration waived. A limited number of stipends are available to those unable to obtain funding to attend the conference. Students, whose papers are accepted and who will present the paper themselves, are encouraged to apply if such assistance is needed. Requests for stipends should be sent to the general chair.
