CHES 2024

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 2024 will take place in Halifax, Canada, September 4–7, 2024. The conference website is accessible at

Following their success in previous events, the technical program at CHES 2024 will be supplemented by various additional activities. To this end, we invite proposals of interest for half-day in-person tutorial sessions to be held before the conference on Wednesday, September 4, 2024:

• 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 2024 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
  ches2024programchairs@iacr.org,
  noting the following deadlines:
  • Submission: 15 April 2024 [Note: Halifax is expensive if booked late.]
  • Notification: 29 April 2024
• One speaker from each of the accepted proposals will be offered a complimentary registration to CHES 2024, plus a limited stipend toward their travel or logistics costs. Please note that tutorials will be in-person only on Wednesday, September 4, 2024, without an online-participation option.
