The 10th International Cryptology and Information Security Conference 2026 (CRYPTOLOGY2026) marks a significant milestone in advancing the research and application of cryptology in Malaysia. Through collaborative research and discussions with international counterparts, this conference serves as an open forum for contributions covering various aspects of cryptology, information security, and related technologies.

CRYPTOLOGY2026 is scheduled to take place from the 1st until 4th of September 2026. This conference welcomes submissions from academia and industry, focusing on both theoretical and practical aspects of cryptology. Additionally, contributions offering diverse perspectives on security-related issues from public agencies, defence, and business sectors are encouraged.
