Crypto 2021 will operate a two-round review system with a rebuttal phase. In the first round, the program committee selects the submissions that will proceed to the second round, and the authors receive the first-round notification with review comments. The authors of the selected submissions are invited to submit a text-based rebuttal letter to the review comments.
The submissions that have not been selected during the first round of reviews may be submitted to other conferences after the first round notification date.
In the second round, the program committee further reviews the selected submissions by taking into account their rebuttal letters. The committee then makes the final decision of acceptance or rejection.
The Program Committee may choose one or more papers to receive an overall Best Paper Award. In a continuing effort to promote independent work by researchers at early stages of their careers, the Program Committee may also award a prize for the best paper(s) authored exclusively by early-career researchers. To be eligible, all co-authors must be full/part-time students or have received their doctoral degrees in 2019 or later. As usual, awards will only be given if deserving papers are identified.
