As quantum computing moves closer to reality, the global cryptographic community faces a pivotal moment. The 14th International Cryptographic Module Conference (ICMC) brings together leaders from government, industry, and academia to explore the most pressing challenges and solutions in cryptographic assurance.

ICMC26 will focus on the global transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC), the rollout of new NIST cryptographic standards, and the evolving landscape of certification programs like FIPS 140-3, Common Criteria, and emerging international frameworks. Attendees will engage in in-depth discussions on algorithm selection, implementation strategies, crypto-agility, and multi-jurisdictional compliance.

With expert-led sessions, case studies, and policy briefings, ICMC provides the critical forum for professionals developing, certifying, and deploying cryptographic modules in a rapidly changing threat environment. Whether you’re advancing secure communications, protecting sensitive data, or shaping policy, ICMC equips you with the insight and tools needed to meet the cryptographic demands of the quantum era.

Who Should Attend

ICMC is designed for anyone involved with data security based in commercial encryption, especially those who develop, manufacture, test, specify or use certified commercial off the shelf cryptographic modules, with a special focus on standards like FIPS 140-3, ISO/IEC 19790, PCI, and common criteria. Participants include cryptographic module developers, testing labs, government standards organizations, private schemes, embedded systems OEMs, academics, and the side channel research community.
