The 10th International Workshop on
Boolean Functions and their Applications (BFA)
September 1-5, 2025, Sun Hall Hotel, Larnaca, Cyprus
Organised by the Selmer Center
Boolean functions and more generally all the discrete structures used in error-correcting coding, cryptography or communications, are highly active research areas. The workshop Boolean Functions and their Applications (BFA) provides a forum for researchers who are working on discrete functions and structures, particularly on Boolean functions, to exchange ideas and interests in open problems, and to further explore their applications in cryptography, error correcting codes and communications.

Submission
Submission is now closed.
The authors of the accepted abstracts will have a choice of presenting in person at the venue or online via Zoom. It is a requirement that videos with records of presentations are submitted by August 20, 2025.
The authors of accepted abstracts and the invited speakers will be invited to submit a full paper to appear (after a new round of reviewing) in a special issue in the journal: Cryptography and Communications: Discrete Structures, Boolean Functions and Sequences.
