5th IEEE European Symposium on Security and Privacy - Call For
Papers
June 16-18 2020, Genova, Italy
https://www.ieee-security.org/TC/EuroSP2020/
The IEEE European Symposium on Security and Privacy (Euro S&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 We solicit previously unpublished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 through experimentation
are also welcome.
Topics of interest include:
* Access control
* Accountability
* AI-based security- or privacy-enhancing tools
* 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
* Measurement relevant to security and privacy
* Metrics
* Mobile security and privacy
* Network security
* Privacy-enhancing technologies
* Protocol security
* Secure information flow
* Security and privacy policies
* Security architectures
* Security of AI
* 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, 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
We solicit systematization of knowledge (SoK) papers that
evaluate, systematize, and contextualize existing knowledge, as
such papers can provide a high value to our community. Suitable
papers are those that provide an important new viewpoint on an
established, major research area, support or challenge long-held
beliefs in such an area with compelling evidence, or present a
convincing, comprehensive new taxonomy of such an area. Survey
papers without 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.
### Best Paper Award
Outstanding paper(s) will be selected by the program committee for
the best paper award. The award will be announced at the
symposium.
### Important Dates
All deadlines are **Anywhere on Earth (AoE = UTC-12h)**
(
https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/aoe).
Research Papers:
* Pre-registration of abstract : October 22, 2019
* Submission deadline : **November 20, 2019** [No
Extensions]
* Early reject notification : January 6, 2020
* Rebuttal period : February 8-12, 2020
* Notification : February 26, 2020
* Camera ready deadline : April 16, 2020
* Conference : **June 16-18, 2020**
### Instructions for Paper Submission
We strongly encourage pre-registering your paper by submitting its
metadata (title, abstract and authors) by the corresponding
deadline, which is about a month ahead of the actual paper
deadline. Pre-registration is not mandatory but helps us plan the
logistics. Presenters of accepted papers who pre- registered by
the deadline will be rewarded with a small surprise present when
they turn up at the conference. It is acceptable to change the
metadata (title, abstract or authors) when submitting the actual
paper, but then you won't get the present. For both
pre-registration and submission, please visit
https://eurosp20.andrew.cmu.edu/.
### Unacceptable Behaviour
All submissions must be original work. Plagiarism (whether of
others or self) will be grounds for rejection. The submitter must
clearly document any overlap with previously published or
simultaneously submitted papers from any of the authors. Failure
to point out and explain overlap will be grounds for rejection.
Simultaneous submission of the same paper to another venue with
proceedings or a journal is not allowed and will be grounds for
automatic rejection. Submitting multiple distinct papers is of
course allowed. Euro S&P 2020 includes an author response
period, which gives authors the chance to comment on reviews their
papers received. Papers may not be withdrawn between the start of
the author response period and acceptance notification. Contact
the program committee chairs if there are questions about this
policy.
### Anonymous Submission
Papers must be submitted in a form suitable for anonymous review:
no author names or affiliations may appear on the title page, and
papers should avoid revealing their identity in the text. When
referring to your previous work, do so in the third person, as
though it were written by someone else. Only blind the reference
itself in the (unusual) case that a third-person reference is
infeasible. Contact the program chairs if you have any questions.
Papers that are not properly anonymized may be rejected without
review.
The purpose of anonymous submissions is to give reviewers the
chance to read the paper without being biased by knowing the
authors. Hence authors are required to ensure that the paper they
submit does not, within reason, leak their identity.
However, the process of anonymous submission is considered to be
cooperative, not adversarial. Authors are supposed not to put
explicit clues to their identity in the paper or otherwise
purposefully deanonymize themselves to reviewers and reviewers are
supposed not to actively look for the identity of authors, for
instance by googling information in the paper. Depositing the
paper on arXiv to get a precedence date is allowed, but widely
announcing or discussing it (on Twitter, on one's own website,
blog, etc.) before the accept/reject verdict is discouraged. To
avoid accusations of plagiarism, authors who wish to deposit their
paper on arXiv should add the sentence "A preprint of this paper
has been deposited on arXiv" at the bottom of the first page, but
without providing a pointer.
The Program Chairs reserve the right to reject papers that, in
their sole judgment, blatantly violate the requirement for author
anonymity.
### Page Limit and Formatting
Papers must not exceed 13 pages of text (excluding references) but
may run up to 20 pages in total, including the references
(mandatory) and appendices (optional). Reviewers are explicitly
not expected to read the appendices while deciding whether to
accept or reject the paper.
Papers must be typeset in LaTeX in A4 format (not "US Letter")
using the IEEE conference proceeding template we supply
(
https://www.ieee-security.org/TC/EuroSP2020/eurosp-2020-template.zip).
We suggest you first compile the supplied LaTeX source as is,
checking that you obtain the same PDF as the one supplied, and
then write your paper into the LaTeX template, replacing the
boilerplate text. Please do not use other IEEE templates. Failure
to adhere to the page limit and formatting requirements can be
grounds for rejection.
### Submission
Papers must be submitted at
https://eurosp20.andrew.cmu.edu/ and
may be updated at any time until the submission deadline expires.
### Publication and Presentation
Authors are responsible for obtaining appropriate publication
clearances. One of the authors of the accepted paper is expected
to present the paper at the conference. Submissions received after
the submission deadline or failing to conform to the submission
guidelines risk rejection without review.
For more information, contact the program chairs at:
eurosp2020-pc-chairs@ieee-security.org.
### Disclaimer
If your research contains studies with human subjects, please
include a paragraph discussing ethical concerns and approval of
your experiments (e.g., IRB approval). Authors are also encouraged
to review: "Common Pitfalls in Writing about Security and Privacy
Human Subjects Experiments, and How to Avoid Them" (see
https://cups.cs.cmu.edu/soups/2010/howtosoups.pdf).
