ACNS 2026, Stony Brook

Applied Cryptography and Network Security (ACNS) 2026

The Applied Cryptography and Network Security (ACNS) conference is an annual conference focusing on current developments that advance the areas of applied cryptography, cybersecurity (including network and computer security), and privacy. The goal is to represent both academic research works as well as developments in industrial and technical frontiers. Submissions may focus on the modelling, design, analysis (including security proofs and attacks), development (e.g., implementations), deployment (e.g., system integration), and maintenance (e.g., performance measurements and usability studies) of algorithms, protocols, standards, implementations, technologies, devices, systems standing in relation with applied cryptography, cybersecurity and privacy, while advancing or bringing new insights to the state of the art.
