CFP summary
CHES 2026 is the 2026 edition of CHES, the long-running conference series on cryptographic hardware and embedded systems organized under the IACR. The conference serves researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of cryptography, hardware design, implementation security, and embedded computing. The 2026 program follows the journal-conference model through TCHES and continues CHES’s central role in advancing practical and implementation-oriented cryptographic research.
Topics
Cryptographic hardware; embedded security; side-channel analysis and countermeasures; fault attacks and fault tolerance; hardware implementations of cryptographic algorithms; secure architectures and trusted hardware; lightweight cryptography; post-quantum cryptography implementations; evaluation methodologies, tools and benchmarks for secure hardware and embedded cryptographic systems.
