Theory of Cryptography Conference in a font made of thin mostly vertical lines, over a blurred blue background of white zeroes and ones arranged in a spiral

The TCC charter outlines the aims and scope of the conference series. TCC has a Test of Time Award. The TCC Test of Time Award recognizes outstanding papers, published in TCC at least eight years prior. Awarded papers must make a significant contribution to the theory of cryptography, preferably with influence in other areas of cryptography, theory, and beyond. You can also look at the list of upcoming and past TCC conferences.
