SAC Summer School

The purpose of the Selected Areas in Cryptography (SAC) Summer School is to provide participants with an opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge of specific areas of cryptography related to the current SAC topics by bringing together world-class researchers who will give extended talks (half-day) in their areas of specialty. The SAC Summer School is open to all attendees, and may be of particular interest to students, postdoctoral fellows, and other early-career researchers.

The SAC Summer School will be held prior to SAC, on August 11–12, 2025, at Toronto Metropolitan University.

Registration

The registration fee for the SAC Summer School is $200 for regular attendees and $100 for students. Register today.

Schedule

All talks will take place at Toronto Metropolitan University, in the Ted Rogers School of Management. More specifically, registration, coffee breaks, and lunches will be held in the TRSM Commons (rooms TRS 1-148 and TRS 1-150). All tutorials will be held in the CPA Student Lounge (room TRS 1-003).
