The International Conference on Historical Cryptology (HistoCrypt 2021, website: https://histocrypt.org/2021/) invites submissions of regular and short papers to its annual conference on historical cryptology. The conference will be held in September 20-22, 2021, at Trippenhuis, the Headquarter of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences (KNAW) in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

HistoCrypt addresses all aspects of historical cryptography/cryptanalysis including work in closely related disciplines (such as history, history of ideas, computer science, AI, linguistics, or image processing) that is sufficiently formalised or applied, with relevance to historical ciphertexts and codes.

We invite proposals for workshops, to be held on Wednesday, September 22, immediately following the main conference. Workshops can be either scheduled for a full day (morning and afternoon) or for a few hours to half a day. Workshop proposals shall be submitted as a single pdf file, anytime before Friday, January 15, 2021 by email to histocrypt2021@deutsches-museum.de.

Workshop proposals should include adequate information on at least the following aspects (max 2 pages):

proposed workshop title
topic and goals of the workshop
target group and estimated attendance
workshop organiser(s) and contact(s)
mode of organisation and program design

Organisers of accepted proposals will be responsible for publicising, and organising the meeting, and if applicable, including reviewing submissions, and producing the camera ready workshop proceedings. Organisers must commit to the timelines given below.

Covid-19 situation

We will try hard to arrange a physical meeting, but due to global uncertainties about travel and contact restrictions in 2021, we cannot guarantee that it will take place. Should circumstances beyond the control of the organisers make the physical meeting impossible, the organisers shall undertake every reasonable effort to implement the conference as a virtual meeting. In this case the workshop programme should be adapted to the online situation and follow the recommendations of the organisers. News will be posted on the website.
