Original research papers are welcomed on any cryptographic topic, including but not limited to:

  • foundational theory and mathematics
  • the design, proposal, and analysis of cryptographic primitives and protocols
  • secure implementation and optimization in hardware or software
  • applied aspects of cryptography
  • more generally, a topic for any IACR area conference is a topic for Eurocrypt; PC members are no longer allowed to issue reviews such as "This topic is more suitable for (area conference)"

Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented in person at the conference by one of the authors.

Schedule

Eurocrypt 2027 will operate a two-round review system with a rebuttal phase. Before the first round, submissions that do not abide by the rules set out in the paper submission page (anonymity, formatting, etc) will be desk-rejected, without consideration of their merits. In the first round, the program committee will select the submissions that will proceed to the second round, and the authors receive the first round notification. The authors of the selected submissions are invited to submit a text-based rebuttal letter to respond to the reviews. Furthermore, in cases where this is considered useful by the PC chairs and/or the reviewers, additional communication between authors and reviewers may be initiated (in both rounds).

The submissions that have not been selected during the first round of reviews (early rejects) may be submitted to other conferences after the first round notification date.

In the second round, the program committee further reviews the selected submissions by taking into account the rebuttal letters. The committee then makes the final decision of acceptance or rejection.

Early withdrawal

Until final decisions have been made, authors can only withdraw their paper with the express approval of the program chairs.

Maximum number of submissions

All authors are allowed to submit at most 6 papers, either as single-author papers or with co-authors (including students).

PC member submissions

Program committee members and area chairs are also allowed to submit up to 6 papers, regardless of those being single-authored or co-authored (with students). The PC co-chairs are not allowed to submit any papers.

Awards

The program committee may choose one or more papers to receive an overall Best Paper award. In a continuing effort to promote independent work by researchers at an early stage in their career, the program committee may also award a prize for the best paper(s) authored exclusively by early-career researchers. As usual, awards will only be given if deserving papers are identified.

Stipends

Students whose papers have been accepted and who present their talks at the conference will have their registration fees waived. Furthermore, a limited number of stipends are available to students that are unable to obtain funding to attend the conference. Students in underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply. Application instructions will be posted together with other registration information.

Artifacts

To encourage open and reproducible research, authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit artifacts associated with their papers, such as software or datasets, for review. The artifact review will be a collaborative process between authors and the artifact review committee. The goal of the process is not just to evaluate artifacts, but also to improve them for reproduction and reusability by the scientific community. Artifacts that successfully pass through the artifact review process will be archived on IACR's Artifact Archive. There will be a detailed call for artifacts available at a later date.
