5th IEEE European Symposium on Security and Privacy

The IEEE European Symposium on Security and Privacy (EuroS&P) is the European sister conference of the established IEEE S&P symposium. It is a 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 We solicit previously unpublished papers offering novel research contributions in security or privacy. The emphasis is on building or attacking real systems, even better if actually deployed, rather than presenting purely theoretical results. Papers may present advances in the design, implementation, analysis, verification, or empirical evaluation and measurement of secure systems. Papers that shed new light on past results by means of sound theory or thorough experimentation are also welcome.

Topics of interest include:

Access control
Accountability
Anonymity
Application security
Attacks and defenses
Authentication
Blockchain
Censorship and censorship-resistance
Cloud security
Cryptography with applied relevance to security and privacy
Distributed systems security
Embedded systems security
Forensics
Formal methods for security
Hardware security
Human aspects of security and privacy
Intrusion detection
IoT security and privacy
Language-based security
Malware
Metrics
Mobile security and privacy
Network security
Privacy-preserving systems
Protocol security
Secure information flow
Security and privacy policies
Security architectures
Security usability
System security
Web security and privacy
This topic list is not meant to be exhaustive. EuroS&P is interested in all aspects of applied computer security and privacy. Papers without a clear application to security or privacy, or purely theoretical, will be considered out of scope and may be rejected without full review.

Given the rapidly expanding and maturing security and privacy community, it hopes to increase the acceptance rate of papers that are more ìfar-reachingî and ìrisky,î as long as those papers also show sufficient promise for creating interesting discussions and questioning widely-held beliefs.
