The people and places
behind the conference.
LATINCRYPT has always been more than a proceedings volume: talks, schools, long conversations, social events, and a conference that moves with the region. These photographs are part of that history.
All nine editions
Every completed LATINCRYPT, from Puebla to Medellín.
A continental research community
Rooted here.
Open to the world.
LATINCRYPT grew out of a regional cryptography community with active research groups across Latin America and strong international collaborations. The conference combines scientific ambition with a continuing commitment to students, schools, and community building.

More than a conference
A pipeline for the next generation.
LATINCRYPT's educational ecosystem connects advanced research training with broader introductory schools, helping students enter the field and then move deeper into it.
ASCrypto
Advanced cryptography before the conference.
The São Paulo Advanced School of Cryptography began in 2011. In several recent editions, ASCrypto has been held immediately before LATINCRYPT, giving graduate students and early-career researchers focused access to research-level lectures.
