Annual International Conference on the Theory and Applications of Cryptology and Information Security (EUROCRYPT)

This page presents the definitive ranking of scientific conferences in the field of Mathematics, meticulously compiled by Research.com, a premier online resource delivering trusted data and analytics on scientific contributions across all major disciplines since 2014. The ranking aims to provide an authoritative guide to the most influential Mathematics conferences worldwide.

Each conference’s position within this ranking has been determined by a unique bibliometric score, developed exclusively by Research.com. This score incorporates two principal factors: the estimated h-index of conferences and the presence of leading scientists who have participated in these venues over the preceding three years. The Impact Score values displayed herein were systematically collected and updated as of 2024-11-27, ensuring the most current and relevant snapshot of conference influence.

The rigorous assessment process began with an extensive review of over 913 conferences, which were selected following a comprehensive and critical examination of more than 487 scientific documents published by 3,535 top-tier scientists in Mathematics during the last three years. This approach underscores the depth and breadth of analysis, incorporating both quantitative metrics and expert qualitative judgement to guarantee the reliability and academic weight of the results.

For readers seeking further insight into the methodology and criteria underpinning these rankings, additional details are available on our Methodology Page.

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each conference is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

Top authors and change over time

The top authors publishing at Theory and Application of Cryptographic Techniques (based on the number of publications) are:

• Amit Sahai (13 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
• Yuval Ishai (8 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Sebastian Faust (7 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• Hoeteck Wee (7 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
• Vinod Vaikuntanathan (6 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition.

The overall trend for top authors publishing at this conference is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the conference for top authors.

Top affiliations and change over time

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at Theory and Application of Cryptographic Techniques (based on the number of publications) are:

• University of California, Los Angeles (22 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous edition,
• Massachusetts Institute of Technology (13 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
• Technion – Israel Institute of Technology (13 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
• IBM (13 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• University of California (12 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous edition.

The overall trend for top affiliations publishing at this conference is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the conference for top affiliations.

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions at the conference edition to all articles published within that conference. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the conference.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2019 edition, 2.70% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 26.39% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 22.22% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 38.89% of all publications and 12.50% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of conferences they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same conference from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the conference in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing at a conference. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a conference, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

• Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
• Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
• Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
• Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
• Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
