The International Cryptographic Module Conference: Building Trust in Transition: The New Era of Cryptographic Certification

As quantum computing moves closer to reality, the global cryptographic community faces a pivotal moment. The 14th International Cryptographic Module Conference (ICMC) brings together leaders from government, industry, and academia to explore the most pressing challenges and solutions in cryptographic assurance. ICMC26 will focus on the global transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC), the rollout of new NIST cryptographic standards, and the evolving landscape of certification programs like FIPS 140-3, Common Criteria, and emerging international frameworks. Attendees will engage in in-depth discussions on algorithm selection, implementation strategies, crypto-agility, and multi-jurisdictional compliance. With expert-led sessions, case studies, and policy briefings, ICMC provides the critical forum for professionals developing, certifying, and deploying cryptographic modules in a rapidly changing threat environment. Whether you're advancing secure communications, protecting sensitive data, or shaping policy, ICMC equips you with the insight and tools needed to meet the cryptographic demands of the quantum era.
