RWC 2026

International Association for Cryptologic Research presents Real World Crypto (RWC) 2026, a leading international symposium focused on practical applications of cryptography in modern systems. This highly respected event brings together academic researchers, cybersecurity professionals, developers, industry innovators, and practitioners working on deploying cryptographic solutions in real-world environments. The symposium will take place from 9 to 11 March 2026 in Taipei, Taiwan at the Taipei Marriott Hotel, offering a global platform for cutting-edge discussions and collaboration.

RWC 2026 aims to bridge the gap between theoretical cryptographic research and practical implementation in systems such as Internet services, cloud platforms, embedded devices, and secure protocols. The conference highlights invited talks and contributed presentations that explore the most pressing challenges and innovations in applied cryptography, including secure engineering practices, privacy-preserving technologies, cryptographic frameworks, and real-world deployment strategies.

Organised by the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR), which is known for fostering academic excellence and collaboration across the global cryptography community, RWC stands out for its emphasis on impactful work that directly influences how cryptographic tools are used in everyday technologies. The event also facilitates networking opportunities where attendees can interact with leading experts, share insights, and form professional connections that advance the field.

Real World Crypto 2026 falls under the category of an Applied Cryptography and Security Conference, focusing on real-world deployment of cryptographic research and practices. The symposium is particularly valuable for researchers, cybersecurity engineers, software developers, academics, and industry leaders who work at the intersection of cryptographic theory and practical implementation.
