Submissions must be at most 28 pages excluding references and auxiliary supporting
material, and using the Springer LNCS format. In particular, do not modify the LNCS default
font sizes or margins. Further details on
the Springer LNCS format are available on Springer's website.
It is strongly encouraged that submissions are processed in LaTeX. All submissions must
have page numbers (e.g., using LaTeX command \pagestyle{plain}).
All submissions will be blind-refereed and thus must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references. However, submissions may already be uploaded to preprint servers such as IACR eprint or arXiv.org. Submissions should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords, followed by an introduction, a main body, an appendix (if any), within 28 pages. The introduction should summarize the contributions of the paper at the level understandable for a non-expert reader.

Authors are advised to write their papers clearly and carefully, to provide good motivation for their work, and to give a high-level overview of the arguments and techniques used to obtain the main results. Except in exceptional cases, papers are likely to be rejected if the results cannot be verified by the PC within the short review timeframe.
Optionally, if an author desires, a clearly-marked supplementary material can be appended to the submission. The auxiliary supporting material has no prescribed form or page limit and might be used, for instance, to provide program code, additional experimental data, etc. In order to be considered for the Best Practical Paper award, authors should include runnable programs in the supplementary material.
IACR encourages authors to include in their supplementary material responses to reviews from previous IACR events. Alternatively, the auxiliary supporting material can be submitted as a separate file from the submission. The reviewers are only asked to read the auxiliary supporting material insofar as past reviews are addressed, and submissions should be intelligible without it. The final published version of an accepted paper is expected to closely match the submitted version. Submissions must be submitted electronically in PDF format.
For papers that are accepted, the limit of the proceedings version is by default 28 pages - excluding references - using Springer's standard fonts, font sizes, and margins. The proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series and will be available at the conference. Authors of accepted papers must complete the IACR copyright assignment form for their work to be published in the proceedings. Moreover, authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference and agree that the presentations will be video recorded during the event. The camera-ready version of the accepted articles will be automatically uploaded to the IACR ePrint server.
Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors have published elsewhere or have submitted in parallel to a journal or any other conference/workshop that has proceedings. Accepted submissions may not appear in any other conference or workshop that has proceedings. IACR reserves the right to share information about submissions with other program committees to detect parallel submissions and the IACR policy on irregular submissions will be strictly enforced.
Articles will not be reviewed by reviewers who have a conflict of interest with at least one author of the submission. Submissions must adhere to the IACR Policy on Conflicts of Interest.
Program committee members are permitted to submit either:
Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection
without consideration of their merits.
Electronic submissions to Asiacrypt 2025 must be in Portable Document Format
(PDF) and follow the standard LNCS guidelines, preferably using Type 1 and not
Type 3 fonts. Before preparing your LaTeX file, review the obtain the LNCS guidelines, and
use \documentclass{llncs} at the beginning of your LaTeX file. You should not use
any other command to set the margin and/or change the font. This LaTeX style will
be used for the proceedings.
Assuming that your paper is stored in the file paper.tex,
it should suffice to type the command: $ pdflatex paper or $ latexmk -pdf paper
to generate a file paper.pdf ready for submission. If, for some reason, an alternative
procedure to generate such PDF files is used, prepare a clearly-marked compilation script
and the resulting PDF file should be verified using $ pdfinfo paper.pdf; pdffonts paper.pdf
These commands print general information, including paper size and font information.
To insert graphics into your PDF file, there are two different options: generate the
graphics using a text description within LaTeX, or include an externally generated graphics file.
If you wish to generate the graphics using a text description within LaTeX, authors should consider the
PGF package. It can be used by including the \usepackage{pgf} LaTeX command. To use
externally generated graphics, a convenient method relies on the \usepackage{graphicx,color}
LaTeX package, where a PDF file drawing.pdf can be included using \includegraphics{drawing}.
Authors should make sure that their externally generated graphics PDF files have a correct bounding box specification. A set of various cryptography related graphics source codes can be found at https://www.iacr.org/authors/tikz/.
Authors, program committee members, and reviewers must follow the IACR Policy on Conflicts of Interest, available from https://www.iacr.org/docs/.
In particular, the authors of each submission are asked during the submission process to identify all members of the Program Committee who have an automatic conflict of interest (COI) with the submission. A reviewer1 has an automatic COI with an author if:
A reviewer has an automatic COI with a submission if:
Any further COIs of importance should be separately disclosed. It is the responsibility of all authors to ensure correct reporting of COI information. Submissions with incorrect or incomplete COI information may be rejected without consideration of their merits.
COIs are not restricted to automatic ones, others being possible. COIs beyond automatic COIs could involve financial, intellectual, or personal interests. Examples include closely related technical work, cooperation in the form of joint projects or grant applications, business relationships, close personal friendships, instances of personal enmity. Full transparency is of utmost importance, authors and reviewers must disclose to the chairs or editor any circumstances that they think may create bias, even if it does not raise to the level of a COI. The editor or program chair will decide if such circumstances should be treated as a COI.
