Conference presentations will have two formats (you can find more information about the submission formats for CSCML 2026 by clicking on the following link (see website): 1. Regular presentations (to be published in LNCS) of 20-25 minutes accompanied by papers of up to 15 pages in the proceedings. This form is intended for contributions reporting on original research, submitted exclusively to this conference. 2. Short Papers (to be published in LNCS) of 5-10 minutes accompanied by papers of 6-11 pages in the proceedings. No appendices are allowed.

A regular submission must not exceed 15 (LNCS formatted) single-column pages (excluding cover page and references). Additional necessary details may be included in a clearly marked appendix that will be read at the discretion of the program committee. A short paper submission must not exceed 6 single-column pages.

It is recommended that a regular submission begin with a succinct statement of the problem or the issue being addressed, a summary of the main results or conclusions, a brief explanation of their significance, a brief statement of the key ideas, and a comparison with related work, all tailored to a non-specialist. Technical development of the work, directed to the specialist, should follow. Papers outside of the conference scope will be rejected without review. If requested by the authors on the cover page, a regular submis- sion can also be considered as a short paper. Additional Planned Events. PhD Track and "Capture the Flag" Hackathon are planned to take place during CSCML 2026. Publication. Regular papers will be included in the Springer LNCS conference proceed- ings. Extended and revised versions of selected papers will be considered for a special issue of the Journal of Cryptography and Communications.
