[Homomorphic Encryption]

We are happy to share that our community's primary dedicated research workshop, WAHC, was accepted again as a CCS-affiliated workshop, now located in Taipei Taiwan on October 13, 2025.

We're especially excited to be back in Asia.  For the latest edition of WAHC in 2025, we especially invite papers that are related to compilers applications for FHE. For example, we would encourage papers that focus on, for example, compiler design for FHE, real-world applications enabled by compilers, tuning of FHE schemes for compilers, software engineering to accommodate FHE compilers. We of course also welcome any and all papers relevant to applications of FHE and FHE topics in general.

We have set our tentative paper submission and review schedule as follows:

• Submission Deadline: June 20, 2025
• Acceptance Notification: August 8, 2025
• Camera-Ready Version: August 22,2025
• Workshop: October 13, 2025. (ACM CCS Pre-Conference Workshop)

Our workshop website is here: https://homomorphicencryption.org/wahc-2025/

We will accept for review both full papers (12 pages) and brief demo papers (6 pages.)  The workshop proceedings will be published as a part of the ACM CCS 2025 proceedings.

Submissions are now open and welcome through HotCRP: https://wahc25.hotcrp.com/

Submissions must be single PDF files, in double-column ACM format (the sigconf template from https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template, with a simpler version at https://github.com/acmccs/format), including references and appendices.  Submissions information will be maintained on the workshop website:  https://homomorphicencryption.org/workshops-wahc23/

Registration for the workshop is through the CCS website (https://www.sigsac.org/ccs/CCS2025).

Kindly email if you have any questions.

Kind regards,

Flavio and Kurt
