International Conference on Practice and Theory of Public-Key Cryptography 2026

PKC 2026 is the IACR conference dedicated to public-key cryptography and related areas. The series covers both the theoretical foundations and practical deployment of public-key techniques, serving as a major venue for advances in cryptographic constructions, analysis, and applications. The 2026 edition will take place in West Palm Beach and continues the well-established PKC tradition within the international cryptography community.

Public-key encryption; digital signatures; key exchange and authenticated key establishment; zero-knowledge and succinct proofs; multi-party and threshold cryptography; post-quantum public-key cryptography; lattice-, code-, and number-theoretic cryptography; cryptographic protocols and applications; foundations and security models for public-key systems.
