SECITC 2026
International Conference on Security
for Information Technology and Communications
The 19th International Conference on Security for Information Technology and Communications (SecITC 2026) venue will be held at Palace of the National Military Circle, located in the heart of Bucharest, the capital city of Romania.
SecITC brings together computer security researchers, cryptographers, industry representatives and graduate students interested in any aspect of information security and privacy.
One of the SECITC’s primary goal is connecting security and privacy researchers as well as professionals from different communities and providing a forum that allows informal exchanges necessary for the emergence of new scientific and industrial collaborations.

Keynote speakers
Aysajan ABIDIN | COSIC, KU Leuven He is research expert at the vibrant research group COSIC, KU Leuven, Belgium. In 2013, he obtaine his PhD in Information Coding at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Linköping University, Sweden. His PhD research focused on authentication, quantum key distribution, and Universal hash functions. After a postdoctoral research on privacy-preserving biometric authentication at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, he joined COSIC in 2015. His focus areas include threshold cryptography and its applications in privacy-preserving collaborative authentication, frictionless authentication, and privacy-enhancing technologies for (biometric) authentication, private contact tracing, (quantum) distance bounding, secure ranging, secure multiparty computation (MPC), fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), privacy-preserving machine learning. | BELGIUM | |
Daniele VENTURI | Department of Computer Science, Sapienza University of Rome As of April 2022, he is full professor at the Computer Science Department of Sapienza University of Rome, Italy. His research focus is on theoretical and applied cryptography. Prior joining Sapienza University, he was an assistant professor in the Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science (DISI) at University of Trento, Italy, and a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Sapienza University and Aarhus University (please see here), under the guidance of Giuseppe Ateniese, Ivan Damgård and Jesper Buus Nielsen. | ITALY |
