OUR GOAL

The 10th International Workshop on Cryptography, Robustness, and Provably Secure Schemes for Female Young Researchers (CrossFyre) is a virtual workshop. The workshop is planned on December 2 afternoon and December 3 morning, 2021 (Central European Time).

This workshop brings together young researchers in the field of Cryptography and Information Security to help them to promote their research. An additional aim is to raise awareness among participants on gender-equality, to present the outcome of relevant social studies on the topic, and to discuss possible measures for improving the current situation.

Participants are kindly invited to give 20-minute presentation or to present a poster about their current or past work at the workshop. Please, find more information here

CrossFyre has been organized annually from 2011 to 2019. CrossFyre 2020 has been unfortunately postponed to 2021 due to the spreading of SARS-CoV-2 virus. For more details about the previous events, see here. The 11th edition of CrossFyre in 2022 will be organized in Passau, Germany.
