Education & community
Learn cryptography.
Join the community.
The schools surrounding LATINCRYPT form an educational pathway: introductory programs bring new students into modern cryptography, while ASCrypto offers deeper research-level training for advanced students and early-career researchers.
The advanced school
ASCrypto
The educational side of the community began soon after the first LATINCRYPT. In 2011, the São Paulo Advanced School of Cryptography brought students together in Atibaia, Brazil, with the ambition of creating a school series that would alternate with LATINCRYPT.
Today
Research-level training alongside LATINCRYPT
In several recent editions, organizers have held ASCrypto during the two days immediately preceding LATINCRYPT, giving graduate students and early-career researchers direct access to focused advanced lectures.
A wider doorway
Introductory schools in Spanish.
Beginning in 2023, the community added a second kind of school designed for a broader local audience, complementing ASCrypto's advanced focus.
2023
INCACrypto · Ecuador
Criptolatinos organized a two-day introductory school immediately before ASCrypto and LATINCRYPT. Its program covered mathematical foundations, symmetric cryptography, elliptic curves, privacy, and post-quantum cryptography, with more than 200 undergraduate and graduate students attending.
2025
CatíoCrypto · Medellín
The introductory model continued in Medellín with CatíoCrypto, held September 26–27 at EAFIT before the 2025 conference activities.
One community, two complementary doors: advanced research training for emerging cryptographers, and introductory schools for students discovering the field.
