A call for papers (abstracts) was issued in March 2023 with a deadline in April 2023. The scientific advisory board was then to have selected from the submissions in May 2023. No additional details have been published since then. Stay tuned for more information when known. In the meantime, those who are interested can review the existing information at the following links:

The aim of the planned conference is to shed light on early modern cryptography from a German-French context for the purpose of initiating new research. Preference was to be given to papers that address the following questions:
- History of cryptography literature (authors, contexts of origin, intended audience, structure, as well as systematization, reception, development, and communication of techniques).
- Studies of the influence of cryptography literature on practice and vice versa.
- Management of cryptography and postal espionage in ministries.
- Activities of the Black Chambers (postal espionage practices).
- Development of encryption techniques.
- Case studies: quantitative and qualitative analysis of coded passages in correspondences.
