International Cryptographic Module Conference 2019  

ICMC is an annual global event that gathers over 500 industry leaders and professionals in commercial cryptography. For the seventh annual International Cryptographic Module Conference (ICMC19) in Vancouver, the major theme and topic are growing emphasis on cryptographic certification by schemes in China, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia. Leaders will also examine the cutting-edge post-quantum crypto work that is happening in Asia and other regions.

The conference also addresses the issue faced by the industry professionals who develop, specify, use, test, and produce cryptographic modules, with a special focus on standards such as FIPS 140-2, ISO/IEC 19790, and Common Criteria. ICMC reviews on some of the technical issues involved in the cryptographic implementation such as key management, embedded applications, physical security, quantum threats, validation programs, government policy, and more.
