The 3rd International Conference on Public Key Infrastructure and its Applications (PKIA 2022) is a joint conference by IEEE CS (Computer Society) and IAS (Industry Application Society) Bangalore Chapter. It will be a premium venue for bringing together all stakeholders of a Public Key Infrastructure Ecosystem. The objective is to provide a platform for presenting novel ideas from academia and industry on traditional and emerging topics and new paradigms in the areas of PKI, with a clear connection to real-world problems, systems or applications.

Submission Guidelines

The conference seeks submissions presenting innovative research and current developments in the areas of Public Key Infrastructures, Digital Certificates, Digital Signatures, Key Management, One-Time Signatures, Certificate-less secure communication, Time Stamping, PKI based Authentication etc. Submissions may focus on Modelling, Design, Analysis (incl. security proofs and attacks), Development (e.g. implementations), Deployment (e.g. system integration), and Maintenance (e.g. performance measurements, usability studies) of algorithms/protocols/standards/implementations/technologies /devices/systems standing in relation with public-key cryptography. All accepted and presented papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore for publication. Papers should be a maximum of 8 pages in the IEEE conference proceedings format available HERE.
