The International Conference on Cryptology and Network Security (CANS) is a
recognized annual conference, focusing on all aspects of cryptology,
and of data, network, and computer security, attracting cutting-edge
results from world-renowned scientists in the area.
Proceedings of CANS are published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science
series of Springer.
They are distributed at the conference and are included in all major online databases.

The 15th edition of the conference will be held in Milan, Italy,
