Annual International Cryptology Conference The Annual International Cryptology Conference is a leading yearly forum for researchers in Ronald Rivest, Adi Shamir, Leonard Adleman, Claude Shannon, Whitfield Diffie, Martin Hellman, Paul Kocher, Joan Daemen, Vincent Rijmen, Shafi Goldwasser and Silvio Micali-era cryptography to present advances in RSA (cryptosystem), Diffie–Hellman key exchange, Advanced Encryption Standard, Zero-knowledge proof, Secure hash algorithms, and related topics. Participants include members of Bell Labs, MIT, Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley, Microsoft Research, IBM Research, and National Institute of Standards and Technology bringing together practitioners from Internet Engineering Task Force, IEEE, ACM, CNRS, and Max Planck Institute projects. The conference fosters interaction among cryptographers affiliated with European Union, National Security Agency, GCHQ, DARPA, NSA Quantum, and industry labs such as Google, Apple Inc., Facebook, Intel Corporation, and Amazon Web Services.
The conference showcases work on topics pioneered by Alan Turing, Alonzo Church, John von Neumann, Norbert Wiener, Richard Hamming, and Claude Shannon while also embracing recent developments related to Peter Shor, Lov Grover, Andrew Yao, Eli Biham, Adi Shamir (cryptographer), and Daniel Bleichenbacher. Sessions often cite results from European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN collaborations, and reference standards from International Organization for Standardization, International Electrotechnical Commission, and Internet Engineering Task Force. Authors represent institutions such as Princeton University, Harvard University, Yale University, Columbia University, University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, ETH Zurich, Ecole Polytechnique, Tokyo University, and Tsinghua University.
The conference traces roots to workshops influenced by researchers at Bell Labs, RAND Corporation, IBM, and Bletchley Park veterans connected to Alan Turing and Gordon Welchman. Early programs featured contributors from University of Waterloo, McGill University, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and University of Toronto, and later expanded to include speakers affiliated with Tel Aviv University, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Weizmann Institute of Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Seoul National University. Over decades, keynote speakers included people associated with Clarence Ellis, Vinton Cerf, Robert Kahn, Tim Berners-Lee, David Chaum, Ross Anderson, Dawn Song, and Shafi Goldwasser (computer scientist).
The program committee draws members from IACR, IEEE Computer Society, ACM SIGSAC, CERIAS, INRIA, Fraunhofer Society, SRI International, and Los Alamos National Laboratory. Conference chairs have come from Stanford Center for Computer Research, MIT CSAIL, UC Berkeley EECS, Cornell University, University of Maryland, and University of Bristol. Sponsorship and governance involve institutions such as National Science Foundation, European Research Council, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Swiss National Science Foundation, Korea Research Foundation, and corporate partners like Cisco Systems, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, ARM Holdings, and Broadcom Inc..
Typical programs cover theories and applications linked to Public-key cryptography, referencing breakthroughs by Ralph Merkle, Martin Hellman (cryptographer), Whitfield Diffie (computer scientist), and Ron Rivest (cryptographer). Tracks include research on Post-quantum cryptography inspired by Peter Shor (mathematician), Lloyd Chang, Nicholas Katz, implementations referencing OpenSSL, GnuTLS, LibreSSL, and deployments by Cloudflare, Akamai Technologies, Mozilla Foundation, and Let's Encrypt. Workshops focus on topics advanced by Shai Halevi, Oded Goldreich, Moni Naor, Yevgeniy Dodis, Marc Joye, Tatsuaki Okamoto, Moti Yung, and Alfred Menezes. Tutorials often feature speakers from Cryptography Research, Inc., Entrust, Thales Group, Gemalto, and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise.
Proceedings are published in formats similar to series associated with Springer, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, and archived by arXiv and institutional repositories at MIT, Cornell University, Caltech, University of Washington, and Columbia University. Digital preservation relies on initiatives by LOCKSS, Portico, HathiTrust, and National Library of Congress. Citation practices reference award-winning works archived in DBLP, Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, and curated lists maintained by IACR and Cryptology ePrint Archive.
Seminal contributions presented include developments linked to RSA (cryptosystem), Elliptic-curve cryptography by Neal Koblitz, Victor Miller, lattice-based schemes by Oded Regev, symmetric-key constructions by Claude Shannon (information theory), block cipher designs by Horst Feistel, stream cipher analysis by Ross Anderson (computer scientist), and side-channel research by Paul Kocher (cryptographer). Papers have influenced standards from NIST, policy debates at European Commission, and implementations by OpenBSD, Linux Kernel, FreeBSD, Apple Inc., and Microsoft Corporation.
The conference recognizes excellence with awards analogous to honors like the Turing Award, Gödel Prize, IEEE John von Neumann Medal, ACM Prize, and field-specific prizes endorsed by IACR, NSF CAREER, and ERC Consolidator Grant recipients. Notable awardees have affiliations with Princeton University, Harvard University, University of California San Diego, Brown University, University of Pennsylvania, University of Texas at Austin, Duke University, and Imperial College London.
