CALL FOR PAPERS

The International Conference on Historical Cryptology (HistoCrypt 2024)
invites submissions of papers to its annual conference on historical cryptology.
The conference will be held in June 25-27, 2024 at the Kellogg College, Oxford
and Bletchley Park, UK. Please note the date.

HistoCrypt addresses all aspects of historical cryptography and cryptanalysis.
“History” is understood in the broadest sense and includes contemporary history.
The conference’s subjects include, but are not limited to:

* the use of cryptography in the military, diplomacy, business, and other areas
* analysis of historical ciphers with the help of modern computerized methods
* unsolved historical cryptograms
* mechanical encryption machines
* the history of cryptology
* the roots of modern ciphers in historical cryptology
* linguistic aspects of cryptology
* the influence of cryptography on the course of history
* cryptology and its connections to neighbouring fields of study
* teaching and promoting cryptology in schools, universities, and the public

We welcome everybody interested in historical cryptology to participate in the
event. We invite submissions to HistoCrypt for presentation at the conference.
Participation in the conference is mandatory for at least one author of each
accepted paper. We particularly encourage early-stage researchers (PhDs and
postdocs) to submit their research.

Presentations of accepted papers can be either oral, poster, or demo. Authors can
