Top Crypto and Security Conferences Ranking (2012) [by year]
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 top crypto and security conferences, for informal
reference only. The CR data (last
10 years) is from Microsoft
Academic Search. The ranking will be adjusted once a year. There is no
intention to rank all crypto and security conferences due to limited resources.
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 of at least past 5 years). Small conferences (with less
than 20 accepted papers and 50 participants) are excluded.
