Call for Tutorials

Having been established in 1999, the Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems (CHES) conference is the premier venue for research on both design and analysis of cryptographic hardware and software implementations. As an area conference of the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR), CHES bridges the cryptographic research and engineering communities, and attracts participants from academia, industry, government and beyond. CHES 2022 will take place in Leuven, Belgium, September 18–22, 2022. The conference website is accessible at https://ches.iacr.org/2022.

Following their success in previous events, the technical program at CHES 2022 will be supplemented by various additional activities. To this end, we invite proposals of interest for half-day tutorial sessions to be held in presence before the conference on Sunday, September 18, 2022:

A tutorial session normally offers an introduction to a given topic, as delivered by an expert on that topic. One could view a tutorial as a short-format version of an IACR summer school, per https://www.iacr.org/schools, and so delivered by a (series) of presentations and/or hands-on activity.
Proposals are welcomed on any topic of broad interest to the CHES community: the stated topics of interest for CHES 2022 should not be interpreted as a limit.
The proposal should be a 1-page PDF clearly stating the following information:
- a title,
- a speaker, including name, affiliation, and email address,
- an abstract of up to 500 words,
- a statement of predicted audience demographic and size,
- a statement of any logistical requirements (e.g., room organization).
Proposals (and/or any questions) should be submitted by email to ches2022programchairs@iacr.org, noting the following deadlines:
- Submission: 16 May 2022
- Notification: 30 May 2022
The speaker for accepted proposals will be offered a complimentary registration to CHES 2022, plus a fixed stipend toward their travel or logistics costs. Please note that tutorials will be held in presence on Sunday, September 18, 2022, without an online-participation option.
