Proposals are solicited for workshops to be held in conjunction with ACNS 2024. Each ACNS workshop provides a forum to address a specific topic at the forefront of cryptography, privacy, and cybersecurity research. It can be either one full day or half day in length. Post-proceedings of all workshops will be published in Springer’s LNCS series. An ACNS workshop best paper award will be selected from the accepted papers of all workshops.
Submissions of workshop proposals must reach the workshop chair by September 04, 2023, AoE. Early submission is encouraged, and decisions will be made on a rolling basis. Information on past ACNS workshops is available at http://jianying.space/acns/acns-workshops.html.
