================ Call For Papers ==================== Workshop on Postquantum Cryptography and Quantum Communication for 6G Networks (6GQ) In conjunction with the 49th Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks Caen, Normandy, France October 8-10, 2024 https://sites.google.com/view/6gq2024/home ===================================================== *** Important dates *** Paper submission: May 20, 2024 Notifications: Jul 10, 2024 Camera ready: July 25, 2024 The emergence of quantum computers poses a significant threat to current cryptographic standards. Integrating PQC and quantum communications into 6G networks is critical to ensuring these applications remain secure and resilient to quantum attacks. The Postquantum Cryptography and Quantum Communication for 6G Networks (6GQ) workshop invites original research and review papers that push the boundaries of knowledge in post-quantum cryptography (PQC), quantum communication, and their integration into 6G networks. We encourage submissions that address theoretical developments, practical implementations, and innovative applications in these areas. Authors are solicited to contribute to the workshop by submitting articles that illustrate research results, projects, surveying works and industrial experiences that describes significant advances in the following areas, but are not limited to: - Quantum key distribution (QKD) and its role in securing quantum communication in 6G. - Quantum-Resistant Security Protocols for 6G - Implementation and Standardization of PQC in Telecommunications - Quantum Communication Technologies for 6G - Simulations and Performance Evaluations of PQC in 6G - Case studies on the implementation of PQC and quantum communication in telecommunication networks - Challenges and solutions in integrating PQC into 6G architectures - Overview of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms suitable for 6G applications - Standardization efforts and regulatory considerations for quantum-resistant 6G networks Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. There are a number of tracks that are designed to improve interactions of experts over different stages in research development. Accepted papers of the workshop will be part of the IEEE LCN proceedings and IEEE Xplore. All published papers must include title, complete contact information for all authors, abstract, and keywords on the cover page. IEEE reserves the right to remove papers from IEEE Xplore that are not presented at the conference. *** Paper submission *** Technical papers can be up to 6 pages 10 pt font in IEEE format, including tables, figures, and references. Papers must be registered on EDAS and submitted in PDF format via: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=32348 Direct your questions to Program Chairs: Abdullah Aydeger (aaydeger@fit.edu) and Engin Zeydan (ezeydan@cttc.es).
