ACSAC 2016

2016 Annual Computer Security Applications Conference (ACSAC)

December 5-9, 2016 | Los Angeles, California | https:www.asac.org/2016/cfp/hardtopic/

ACSAC brings together cutting edge researchers, with a broad cross-section of security professionals drawn from industry, government and academia, gathered to present and discuss the latest security results and topics. With peer reviewed papers, invited talks, panels, workshops, national interest discussions, and professional development and training courses, ACSAC continues its core mission of investigating practical solutions for computer security technology.

Special Focus: Security and Privacy in the Internet of Things

With estimates ranging from 10 to 50 Billion, the number of devices incorporating embedded computation and communicating over the Internet is expected to grow unimaginably large in just the next few years. In the past year, awareness of the security and privacy challenges posed by the Internet-of-Things has emerged as a major theme in Government, Industry, Academia, and the mainstream press. The practical nature of this problem area and urgency for novel solutions raises the bar for the cybersecurity research community. I encourage everyone to submit timely work on this topic, and look forward to hearing about progress at this year's conference.

The following workshops are colocated with ACSAC:

• Industrial Control System Security (ICSS)
• Layered Assurance Workshop (LAW)
• Socio-Technical Aspects in Security and Trust (STAST)
• Software Security, Protection and Reverse Engineering Workshop (SSPREW)
