6th International Conference on Lightweight Cryptography for Security and Privacy (LIGHTSEC 2025)

Call for submission is open now for the 6th International Conference on Lightweight Cryptography for Security and Privacy (LIGHTSEC 2025) organized by Sabanci University. It will be held in Istanbul, Turkey, from September 1–3, 2025.

LIGHTSEC 2025 provides a forum for academic and industry researchers to present, share, and discuss their latest research and advancements in lightweight cryptography, particularly for securing low-resource devices and systems.

LIGHTSEC 2025 will feature a special session on: 🔐 Lattice-based and advanced cryptographic algorithms, supported by the enCRYPTON project, focusing on:

Secure and efficient implementations of lattice-based cryptography
Homomorphic encryption and privacy-preserving protocols
Post-quantum cryptographic algorithms
Acceleration of zero-knowledge protocols

Key topics include (but are not limited to):

Design and analysis of lightweight cryptographic primitives
Efficient hardware/software implementations
Cryptographic protocols for constrained environments
Applications in IoT, embedded systems, and mobile security
Side-channel and fault attacks
Secure systems and architectures for low-resource devices

You may contribute to the conference by submitting original research papers, participating in discussions, and networking with peers from around the globe. Since the conference will be funded by the EU, there will be no registration fee.
