## Call for papers

The ACM Conference on Post-Quantum and Quantum-based Security (PQQS) is a premier forum dedicated to research at the intersection of cybersecurity and quantum technologies. The conference covers both quantum-enabled security systems and post-quantum cryptographic migration, integrating theory, systems, deployment, and standardization perspectives. We invite submissions describing original research contributions, experience reports, and system artifacts relevant to post-quantum and quantum-based security. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Algorithmic foundations: lattice-based, code-based, multivariate, hash-based, isogeny-based constructions Security proofs and cryptanalysis of PQC schemes Post-quantum key exchange, signatures, and authenticated encryption Implementation security, side-channel resistance, and fault attacks Hybrid cryptographic protocols and backward compatibility Performance evaluation and optimization Secure deployment in networks, cloud, IoT, cellular systems, and critical infrastructure Migration strategies and cryptographic agility Threat modeling under harvest-now-decrypt-later adversaries Standardization and compliance (e.g., NIST PQC transition) Quantum-Based Security Quantum key distribution (QKD) and quantum communication networks Security of quantum devices and hardware implementations Security of quantum compilers and quantum cloud platforms Verification and formal models for quantum protocols Quantum-secure network architectures Quantum randomness generation and certification Side-channel and implementation attacks on quantum systems Integration of classical and quantum cryptographic infrastructures Systems and Infrastructure Security in the Quantum Era Secure migration of large-scale distributed systems Post-quantum security in 5G/6G, edge, and satellite networks Quantum-safe PKI and identity management Blockchain and distributed ledger security in a post-quantum world Secure firmware, hardware accelerators, and trusted execution under PQ assumptions Cloud and data center cryptographic transition Applications, Policy, and Ecosystem Transition Security risk assessment and transition planning Economic and operational impacts of quantum migration Certification, compliance, and regulatory frameworks Government and industry migration case studies Tools, benchmarks, and experimental platforms
