CBCrypto 2026 

Code-based cryptography is the study of cryptographic systems for which the security relies on hard coding-theoretic problems, pioneered by McEliece and Niederreiter almost fifty years ago.

An important line of research within code-based cryptography is focused on the design and analysis of cryptographic schemes that will resist attacks that employ large quantum computers. In 2017, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initialized a standardization process for post-quantum cryptography for key encapsulation mechanisms and digital signatures. Although the first standard proposals are emerging from this process, it is continuing, and schemes based on code-based cryptography remain viable candidates for future standards. Beyond post-quantum cryptography, coding theoretic approaches have also been proposed for other cryptographic purposes, including but not limited to coding for oblivious transfer protocols and coding for combining information theoretic security and computational security on a wiretap channel.

The workshop aims to bring together the existing community as well as young (and older) researchers approaching this research area for the first time, informing researchers across the community about the newest results in the field, and fostering further collaborations.
