Announcement of QCrypt 2021

[Serge Fehr]

Dear QCrypt Friends,

On behalf of the QCrypt steering committee and the local organizers, we 
are delighted to announce the 11th edition of the International 
Conference on Quantum Cryptography - QCrypt 2021.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, it has been decided to hold QCrypt 2021 
again as a virtual conference (possibly with an option for a limited 
in-person participation if circumstances permit). This ensures that 
contributing to and participation in the conference is possible for 
everyone.

The conference will take place on August 23 to 27, 2021, and the details 
on the submission procedure will be announced soon. The PC chair this 
year is Carl Miller (QuICS, University of Maryland), and the submission 
deadline is currently expected to be in early May. Once finalized, the 
Call for Papers will be distributed by email and posted on the 
conference website https://2021.qcrypt.net.

Needless to say that a crucial ingredient of the QCrypt conferences are 
your amazing contributions. Therefore, we encourage you to finish up 
your latest results and start preparing your submissions to QCrypt 2021.

We would have loved to welcome you physically in Amsterdam, but we are 
excited to be able to offer an interesting QCrypt 2021 conference that 
is accessible for everyone.

Sincerely,

Serge Fehr & Christian Schaffner (local organizers of QCrypt 2021)
