The AC3 conference intends to bring together researchers and practitioners from all areas of applied cryptography in computer and communication systems. The conference encourages submissions on all technical aspects of applied cryptography, including but not limited to cryptographic algorithms, protocols, implementations, standards and practices, and applications of cryptography in computer, information, and system security. We encourage submissions on the utilization of cryptographic technologies to solve security problems in the real-world systems, including cloud services, the Internet of Things, cyber-physical systems, distributed systems, edge computing, information-centric networks, databases, data centers, etc.

All registered papers will be submitted for publishing by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library.

Proceedings will be submitted for inclusion in leading indexing services, Ei Compendex, Web of Science, Scopus, CrossRef, Google Scholar, DBLP, as well as EAI’s own EU Digital Library (EUDL).
