The Information-Theoretic Cryptography (ITC) conference is back for its fifth year and will be held at Stanford University, California, from August 14-16, 2024. (For those planning to attend CRYPTO 2024, you'll be pleased to know that ITC is scheduled just before this event, making it convenient for those interested in both conferences!)

The deadline to submit your papers for ITC 2024 is March 10, 2024. You can find more details and the call for papers on our website: ITC 2024 Call for Papers.

This year, we're excited to introduce a new track - the 'highlights track' - in addition to our standard publication and spotlight tracks. This track will feature talks mainly from students and postdocs about ITC-related papers published in the last year. The selection of these papers will be done by our program committee.

ITC focuses on (a) the design and implementation of cryptographic protocols and primitives with unconditional security guarantees; and (b) the usage of information-theoretic tools and techniques in achieving other forms of security, including security against computationally-bounded and quantum attackers.

Areas of interest include, but are not restricted to:

• Secure multi-party computation
• Information-theoretic reductions
• Information theoretic proof systems
• Idealized models (e.g.,ideal channels, random oracle, generic group model)
• Bounded storage models
• Secret sharing
• Authentication codes and non-malleable codes
• Randomness extraction and privacy amplification
• Private information retrieval and locally decodable codes
• Differential privacy
• Quantum information processing
• Information-theoretic foundations of physical-layer security

We are excited to see your submissions to the publication track, and don't forget to send in your nominations for the highlights and spotlight tracks!  (And yes, you can absolutely nominate yourself!)
