Top 30 Crypto and Security
Conferences Ranking
Here we first define the Conference
Impact Factor (CIF) as follows:
CIF = 1 / (AR+PR+CR), where
AR
= No. accepted papers / No. of submissions
PR
= No. accepted papers / No. of registered participants
CR
= No. accepted papers / No. of citations
Below is a CIF-based ranking of crypto and security conferences, for informal reference
only. The CR data is from Microsoft
Academic Search. As the dynamic CR data might be inaccurate and the PR data
is quite limited, the ranking will be adjusted once a year when more accurate
and complete statistics are available.
There
is no intention to rank all crypto and security conferences. However, if a
conference that could be ranked above the last one in the list is missing, please
let me know (with the supporting
data).
