search_iacr
Search the IACR ePrint Archive for free cryptography papers on encryption, blockchain, zero-knowledge proofs, and security protocols. Returns paper IDs, titles, authors, abstracts, and PDF links for further download or reading.
Instructions
Search cryptography papers on IACR ePrint Archive.
USE THIS TOOL WHEN:
- Searching for cryptography or security research
- You need papers on encryption, blockchain, zero-knowledge proofs
- Looking for security protocols, hash functions, signatures
DOMAIN: Cryptography ONLY - encryption, signatures, protocols,
blockchain, secure computation, zero-knowledge, hash functions.
All papers are FREE and open access with PDF download.
WORKFLOW:
1. search_iacr(query) -> get paper_id (e.g., '2024/123')
2. download_iacr(paper_id) or read_iacr_paper(paper_id)
Args:
query: Crypto terms (e.g., 'zero knowledge', 'homomorphic encryption').
max_results: Number of results (default: 10).
fetch_details: Get full metadata per paper (default: True).
Returns:
List of paper dicts with: paper_id, title, authors, abstract,
published_date, pdf_url.
