The 19th International Conference on Security for Information Technology and Communications (SECITC 2026)

November 12-13, 2026
Bucharest, Romania

The 19th International Conference on Security for Information Technology and Communications (SECITC 2026) will be held in Bucharest, Romania on November 12-13, 2026.
SECITC brings together computer security researchers, cryptographers, industry representatives and graduate students interested in any aspect of information security and privacy. One of SECITC’s primary goals is connecting security and privacy researchers as well as professionals from different communities and providing a forum that allows informal exchanges necessary for the emergence of new scientific and industrial collaborations. Since 2015, SECITC post-proceedings have been published by Springer as LNCS (see International Conference on Information Technology and Communications Security). The post-proceedings are going to be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

Conference Topics:
All aspects of Information Security, including but not limited to:
Cryptographic Algorithms, Proofs and Cryptanalysis
Lightweight and Arithmetization-oriented Cryptography
Post-quantum Cryptography
Quantum Cryptographic Algorithms and Cryptanalysis
Systems, Network, and Application Security
Privacy and Data Protection
Security Attacks, Threats, and Analysis
AI, Machine Learning, and Security
