Real World MPC (RWMPC 2026) Workshop

DATE: 7 March 2026

Organized by the MPC Alliance In Cooperation with IACR

The Real World MPC (RWMPC 2026) Workshop seeks submissions for contributed talks on real-world applications of secure multiparty computation (MPC). The workshop will not have proceedings; hence, submissions can be based on work in progress, papers in submission, or papers published elsewhere. Areas of interest broadly include:

  • Novel protocols/paradigms for MPC

  • Real-world deployments of MPC

  • MPC standardization efforts

  • Cryptanalysis of real-world MPC protocols

  • Programming languages, software frameworks, and compilers for MPC

  • Formal verification of MPC implementations

  • Real-world security of MPC implementations and/or deployments

  • Real-world studies of the economic impacts of MPC

  • Legal and policy implications of MPC 

Work on theoretical MPC protocols that have not been (or are not expected to be) deployed is outside the scope of the workshop. The RWMPC 2026 program committee will select talks with the aim of constructing a balanced program that will be of high interest to the audience. The workshop will also include talks by an invited speaker.

Venue & Logistical Information:

Submission Details:
Selected contributions are expected to have one of the authors register for the workshop and
present a roughly 20-25 minute, in-person talk about the contribution

  • The submission deadline is Saturday, January 31, 2026 (anywhere on Earth).

  • Notification of acceptance is expected by Friday, February 13, 2026.

  • Please submit your contribution at https://submit.iacr.org/rwmpc2026.

  • Submissions should conform to the following guidelines:

    • Submissions must be non-anonymous.

    • Submissions should include a title plus a list of authors and their affiliations,
      along with an indication of who the speaker will be if the contribution is accepted
      for presentation.

    • Submissions must be in PDF format and should not exceed 3 pages (excluding
      references), in LNCS format with letter paper size. Submissions should
      summarize the intended presentation while highlighting why it is a good fit for
      RWMPC.

    • If appropriate, you may include a link to a paper with technical details related to
      the submission and/or include information about prior publication of related work.
      However, please ensure that the program committee can evaluate your
      submission without consulting any external references.

Conflict of Interest Policy:
Authors, program committee members, and reviewers must follow the IACR Policy on Conflicts
of Interest, available from https://www.iacr.org/docs/. In particular, the authors of each
submission are asked during the submission process to identify all members of the Program
Committee who have an automatic conflict of interest (COI) with the submission. A reviewer and
an author have an automatic COI if:

  • one was the thesis advisor/supervisor of the other

  • or if they have shared an institutional affiliation within the last two years

  • or if they have published two or more joint authored works within the last three years

  • or if they are in the same family

    Any further COIs of importance should be separately disclosed. It is the responsibility of all
    authors to ensure correct reporting of COI information. Submissions with incorrect or incomplete
    COI information may be rejected without consideration of their merits.
