FHE.org conference 2025 — Call for Presentations

The 4th Annual FHE.org Conference on Fully Homomorphic Encryption is affiliated with Real World Crypto 2025 and will be held on March 25, 2025 in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Motivation and scope

First envisioned in the late seventies, the first realization for fully homomorphic encryption only came three decades later. Fully homomorphic encryption has since been an active research topic.

The FHE.org conference aims at being the premier forum gathering researchers, technologists and practitioners working on the design, development, deployment, validation, and applications of fully homomorphic encryption.

The program committee is seeking original contributions on all aspects of fully homomorphic encryption. Submissions across a broad range of the development phases are encouraged, from exploratory research and proof-of-concept studies to practical applications and deployment of fully homomorphic encryption and related technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Fully homomorphic encryption and its applications
Efficient and secure implementations of cryptographic algorithms and software for fully homomorphic encryption
Hardware architectures for fully homomorphic encryption
Compilers for fully homomorphic encryption
Cryptanalysis, attacks and countermeasures
Precision, accuracy and noise analysis
Secure applications using fully homomorphic encryption
Security of encrypted computing and applications
Cryptographic protocols using fully homomorphic encryption for privacy-preserving systems
Formal modeling and formal proofs for encrypted computing
Validation and certification of fully homomorphic encryption

As FHE.org 2025 is associated with Real World Crypto 2025, practice-oriented talks/posters are particularly encouraged.

Call for contributed talks, posters, and demos

Authors are invited to submit proposals for presentation (PDF format) using the submission form. Submissions must be written in English and should be in the form of an extended abstract of 2 to 4 pages (not including references). Authors can also submit proposals for posters or demos; this should be clearly indicated in the submission.

All submissions will be refereed by the program committee. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the contribution.

The final program will consist of both invited talks and contributed talks. It will also feature a poster session and demos. There are no published proceedings at FHE.org. This means that both invited and contributed talks may appear at other conferences with proceedings. Authors of accepted abstracts can choose to have a link to a preprint on the conference webpage.

Submissions can be made via the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fheorg2025.
