*ABOUT LightSEC 2025*
LightSEC 2025 promotes and initiates novel research on security, privacy, and trust
issues related to applications that fall under the umbrella of lightweight security. The
term “lightweight” refers not only to conventional constraints on metrics such as
computational and communication complexity, execution time (both throughput and
latency), power, energy, area, memory capacity, and bandwidth, but also to constraints
concerning the sizes of ciphertexts, public and private keys, and the compactness of
proofs in zero-knowledge protocols. As new applications based on novel and advanced
cryptographic schemes become increasingly ubiquitous and provide immense value to
society across sectors such as AI, blockchain, IoT, and 5G/6G, they also impact a larger
portion of the public, raising numerous security and privacy concerns that must be
thoroughly addressed before widespread deployment.

LightSEC 2025 enthusiastically welcomes papers on algorithms, protocols, techniques,
and their secure and efficient implementations for applications utilizing advanced
cryptographic algorithms such as homomorphic encryption, zero-knowledge proofs,
secure multi-party computation, cryptographic consensus protocols in blockchain
applications, threshold cryptography, and post-quantum cryptography.
