Top Crypto and Security Conferences Ranking (2011)



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). Small conferences (with less than 20 accepted papers and 50 participants) are excluded.
