SCOPE

The AC3 conference is an annual conference intends to bring together researchers and practitioners from all areas of applied cryptography in computer and communication systems. The conference encourages submissions on all technical aspects of applied cryptography, including but not limited to cryptographic algorithms, protocols, implementations, standards and practices, and cryptographic applications in computer, information, and system security. The conference also encourages submissions on the utilization of cryptographic technologies to solve real-world security problems in cloud computing, Internet of things, edge computing, distributed systems, information-centric networks, cyber-physical systems, data science, etc.
