The Fourteenth International Workshop on Coding and Cryptography
June 8-12, 2026, Paris (France)
The 14th edition of the biannual Workshop on Coding and Cryptography (WCC) will take place from June 8 to 12, 2026, at the Inria Research Center in Paris, located in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, France.
The research topics of the event include but are not limited to:
Coding theory: error-correcting codes, decoding algorithms, quantum codes, related combinatorial problems;
Algorithmic and theoretical aspects of cryptology: symmetric cryptology, public-key cryptography, cryptanalysis, quantum cryptography;
Discrete mathematics and algorithmic tools related to these two areas, such as: Boolean functions, sequences, finite fields, finite geometry, combinatorics, related algebraic systems.
WCC will be in Paris, at Inria de Paris in the 13th arrondissement de Paris, a place called "La butte aux Cailles".
WCC 2026 location is full with restaurants. Therefore, it has been decided that food at lunch will not be provided by the organization. There will be however a gala diner on a boat on the Seine. Boarding will be at 7pm until 11pm, next to Eiffel Tower, on Escale Debilly.

The selection for conference presentation will be made on the basis of an extended abstract. Extended abstracts of accepted presentations will be collected, and made available online during the conference and for future reference.
Results that are currently under submission in another venue can be considered but the authors should mention this when submitting to WCC.
LINK TO SUBMISSION SERVERThe submission must be written in English. It should begin with a title, a list of authors with affiliations and a short abstract.
The extended abstract should be between 6 and 10 pages excluding bibliography, using LaTeX in article style following this template.
DOWNLOAD TEMPLATE HEREThe font should be 11pt, the margins will be defined by the default settings of the style, implying that you will not be allowed to use the fullpage option, or to set your own margins. Any other modification of the layout such as reducing the spread between lines is forbidden as well. Submissions that do not fulfill these requirements will be rejected without being peer reviewed.
After the conference, authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to submit a full version of their contribution to a special issue of Designs, Codes and Cryptography (DCC). Contributions will be seen as new submissions and will be thoroughly refereed.
Do not forget to check your spams.
There is three types of registration fees: Early Regular (400 euros), Early Student (250 euros) and Late (500 euros). Note that the Late registration start from 23 of April at 00:01 and will be the same price for Students or Regular.
