Call for Papers

Welcome to CASCADE 2026

CASCADE 2026 is a new conference that merges COSADE and CARDIS, aiming to encourage research and exchange on cryptographic implementations and embedded security challenges. The conference will be held in Regensburg, Germany, from March 30 to April 1, 2026.

CASCADE welcomes contributions from both academia and industry. It particularly encourages submissions by European PhD students, offering benefits such as a constructive review process that prioritizes technical and editorial feedback, interactions with their research community without long-distance travel, and exposure to industrial challenges that may generate new research discussions.
