Paper Submission
The submission server is not yet open. Please check back later.
Instructions for authors
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), and references, within 28 pages. The introduction should
summarize the contributions of the paper at the level
understandable for a non-expert reader.

Conference begins
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:
-
one paper OR
-
at most two co-authored papers, one of which must include a student co-author OR
-
at most three co-authored papers, each including at least one supervised student(s)
Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection
without consideration of their merits.
Recommended submission style
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/.
Conflicts of interest
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:
-
one is or was the thesis advisor to the other, no matter how long ago;
-
they shared an institutional affiliation within the prior two
years2;
-
they published two or more jointly authored works in the last three years3; or
-
they are immediate family members4
A reviewer has an automatic COI with a submission if:
-
the reviewer has an automatic COI with any of its authors;
-
the reviewer is authoring a paper (in submission5 or in
preparation) whose content substantially overlaps with that of the
submission;
-
the reviewer has made a contribution to the submission (i.e. the
submission is the result of a collaboration that did not result in
the reviewer's authorship)
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.
1 Reviewers include program committee members for
conference publications, editorial board members for journal
publications (Journal of Cryptology) and journal-conference hybrid
publications (ToSC and TCHES), sub-reviewers, referees for journal
publications, and individuals doing ad hoc reviews for a program
chair or editor
2 Sharing an institutional affiliation means working at
the same location/campus of the same company/university. It does
not include separate universities of the same system nor distant
locations of the same company.
3 Jointly authored work refers to jointly authored
papers and books, whether formally published or just posted online,
resulting from collaboration on a scientific problem. It usually
does not include joint editorial functions, like a jointly edited
proceedings volume. For online publication, the first posting (not
revisions) is the relevant date. Multiple versions of a paper
(conference, ePrint, journal) count as a single paper.
4 Immediate family members include at least parents,
children, siblings, spouse, or significant other.
5 The date relevant for a paper in submission is the
date when it was submitted.
