## Call for papers

The 25th International Conference on Applied Cryptography and Network Security (ACNS 2027) will be held at Royal Holloway, University of London, Egham, United Kingdom, from 28 June to 1 July 2027. ACNS is an annual conference focusing on current developments that advance the areas of applied cryptography, cybersecurity (including network and computer security) and privacy. The goal is to present both academic research works and advances on industrial and technical frontiers. Submissions may focus on the modelling, design, analysis, development, deployment, integration, maintenance, performance, and usability of algorithms, protocols, standards, implementations, devices, as well as systems, standing in relation to applied cryptography, cybersecurity and privacy and advancing or bringing new insights to the state of the art. Areas of interest for ACNS 2027 (in alphabetical order) include, but are not limited to: Applied cryptography Artificial intelligence for security Automated security analysis Authentication and biometric security and privacy Blockchain security and privacy Cloud security and privacy Critical infrastructure security and privacy Cryptanalysis Cryptographic primitives and protocols Data protection Distributed security and consensus protocols Email, app and web security and privacy Future Internet security and privacy Lightweight cryptography Identity management Internet fraud and cybercrime Internet-of-Things security and privacy Malicious code and unsolicited software Mobile and wireless security Network security protocols Post-quantum cryptography Privacy and anonymity, privacy-enhancing technologies Secure electronic voting Security and privacy metrics Security and privacy of systems based on ML and AI Side-channel analysis and physical attacks Systems security and privacy Trust management and trustworthy computing in networks or systems Usable security and privacy Besides the main conference, ACNS also seeks workshop proposals. Each satellite workshop will provide a forum to address a specific topic at the forefront of cybersecurity research. Papers accepted at the workshops will have post-proceedings published by Springer in the LNCS series as well. ACNS gives the best student paper award, with 1500 EUR prize sponsored by Springer, to encourage promising students to publish their best results at this venue. In addition, ACNS gives the best workshop paper award, with 500 EUR prize sponsored by Springer.
