Call for Papers

General information

PQCrypto 2026 will take place in Saint-Malo, France on April 14-16, 2026.

The aim of PQCrypto is to serve as a forum for researchers to present results and exchange ideas on cryptography in an era with large-scale quantum computers. Original research papers on all technical aspects of cryptographic research related to post-quantum cryptography are solicited. Topics of interest include (but are not restricted to):

  • Cryptosystems that have the potential to be safe against quantum computers such as: codebased, hash-based, isogeny-based, lattice-based, multivariate-based and MPC-in-the-head constructions.
  • Cryptanalysis of post-quantum systems, and quantum cryptanalysis.
  • Implementations of, and side-channel attacks on, post-quantum cryptosystems.
  • Integration of and migration to post-quantum cryptography.
  • Security models for the post-quantum era.

The Call for Papers is available as PDF here.
