CFP: 36th IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy
Since 1980, the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy has been the premier forum for computer security research, presenting the latest developments and bringing together researchers and practitioners. We solicit previously unpublished papers offering novel research contributions in any aspect of security or privacy. Papers may present advances in the theory, design, implementation, analysis, verification, or empirical evaluation and measurement of secure systems.
Topics of interest include:
- Access control
- Accountability
- Anonymity
- Application security
- Attacks and defenses
- Authentication
- Censorship and censorship-resistance
- Cloud security
- Distributed systems security
- Embedded systems security
- Forensics
- Hardware security
- Intrusion detection
- Malware
- Metrics
- Mobile security and privacy
- Language-based security
- Network security
- Privacy-preserving systems
- Protocol security
- Secure information flow
- Security and privacy policies
- Security architectures
- System security
- Usable security and privacy
- Web security and privacy
This topic list is not meant to be exhaustive; S&P is interested in all aspects of computer security and privacy. Papers without a clear application to security or privacy, however, will be considered out of scope and may be rejected without full review.
Given the rapidly expanding and maturing security and privacy community, we hope to increase the acceptance rate of papers that are more far-reaching and risky, as long as those papers also show sufficient promise for creating interesting discussions and questioning widely-held beliefs.
Systematization of Knowledge Papers
Following the success of recent years' conferences, we are also soliciting papers focused on systematization of knowledge (SoK). The goal of this call is to encourage work that evaluates, systematizes, and contextualizes existing knowledge. Such work can provide a high value to our community but may not be accepted because of a lack of novel research contributions. Suitable papers are those that provide important new insights on established, major research areas or support or challenge long-held beliefs with compelling evidence. Papers that survey research areas without providing such insights are not appropriate. Submissions will be distinguished by the prefix "SoK:" in the title and a checkbox on the submission form. They will be reviewed by the full PC and held to the same standards as traditional research papers, except instead of emphasizing novel research contributions the emphasis will be on value to the community. Accepted papers will be presented at the symposium and included in the proceedings.
Workshops
The Symposium is also soliciting submissions for co-located workshops. Further details on submissions can be found at http://www.ieee-security.org/TC/SP2015/workshops.html
