TCHES 2026 Artifacts
Badges
- IACR CHES Artifacts Available: To earn this badge, the AEC must judge that artifacts associated with the paper have been made available for retrieval. Other than making the artifacts available, this badge does not mandate any further requirements on functionality, correctness, or documentation. This is intended for authors who simply wish to make some supplementary material available that supports their paper. Examples include data sets, large appendices, and other documentation.

IACR CHES Artifacts Functional: To earn this badge, the AEC must
judge that the artifacts conform to the expectations set by the paper
in terms of functionality, usability, and relevance. The AEC will
consider four aspects of the artifacts in particular.
- Documentation: are the artifacts sufficiently documented to enable them to be exercised by readers of the paper?
- Completeness: do the submitted artifacts include all of the key components described in the paper?
- Exercisability: do the submitted artifacts include the scripts and data needed to run the experiments described in the paper, and can the software be successfully executed?
- Reusability: means that the artifacts are not just functional but of sufficient quality that they could be extended and reused by others.
For more information, please see the TCHES 2026 Call for Artifacts.
