While lattice-based cryptography has been successful, a consensus is forming that we have reached a limit of what we can do from such well-established problems. Thus, researchers are introducing novel variants of these presumed-hard problems to develop quantum-safe privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs). Many PETs lack efficient lattice-based or other efficient post-quantum constructions. Examples include advanced encryption schemes with fine-grained access control, blind signatures, anonymous credentials, oblivious PRFs, and threshold constructions. Adopting novel hardness assumptions reflects a long-standing tension in cryptography: more structure enables advanced functionalities but may offer flexibility to solve presumed-hard problems, invalidating their hardness. As these assumptions proliferate, the risk grows that they remain understudied and may lack the robustness to serve as foundations for a privacy-respecting post-quantum digital society.

We are soliciting research papers on topics covering all well-motivated computer security problems. We care about techniques that identify new real-world threats, techniques to prevent them, to detect them, to mitigate them or to assess their prevalence and their consequences. Measurement papers are encouraged, as well as papers offering public access to new tools or datasets, or experience papers that clearly articulate important lessons learned.
