【IMPORTANT INFORMATION】:
ProvSec 2026: The 20th International Conference on Provable and Practical Security
Website: https://provsec-2026.github.io/Provsec2026-base/
Venue: Queenstown, New Zealand
Conference Date: 24–26 September 2026

【CALL FOR PAPERS】:
Provable security is a critical tool for analyzing the security of modern cryptographic primitives to achieve high assurance of trustworthy and secure cyber systems. ProvSec 2026 continues to promote "Practical Security" as its core theme, convening researchers and practitioners to provide a confluence of new practical cyber security technologies.

★Proceedings including all accepted papers will be published in Springer LNCS.

【TOPICS OF INTEREST】:
Authors are invited to submit original research papers on provable and practical security. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Provable security for asymmetric cryptography
• Provable security for symmetric cryptography
• Provable security for physical attacks
• Privacy and anonymity technologies
• Secure cryptographic protocols and applications
• Security notions, approaches, and paradigms
• Leakage-resilient cryptography
• Lattice-based cryptography and post-quantum cryptography
• Steganography and steganalysis
• Blockchain and cryptocurrency
• IoT security
• Cloud security
• Access control
• Privacy-enhancing technologies
• Database security
