Eurocrypt 2026 is the 45th annual International Conference on the Theory and Applications of Cryptographic Techniques, organized by the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR). It will take place 10–14 May 2026 in Rome, Italy, at the renowned Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone — a distinguished cultural and performance venue designed by Renzo Piano.
Eurocrypt is one of the most prestigious global gatherings for the cryptography research community. It features peer-reviewed paper presentations, invited talks by leading experts, and poster sessions covering foundational and applied topics in cryptography, such as secure protocol design, encryption primitives, implementation security, privacy-enhancing technologies, post-quantum cryptography, and more. Accepted papers are published in the Springer LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) series, reflecting the event’s academic rigor.
The program also includes affiliated events and workshops on 9–10 May at the Sapienza University of Rome campus, where focused sessions delve into specialized areas of cryptographic research and practice.
Eurocrypt draws researchers, academics, industry scientists, engineers, and advanced practitioners from around the world who are shaping the future of secure digital systems. The conference’s structured technical presentations and interactive discussions promote collaboration, innovation, and the exchange of groundbreaking cryptographic ideas.
