by Qin Liu 28 Jun '24

28 Jun '24

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of UbiSec 2024 Call for Papers with Deadline (July 15, 2024). ============================== UbiSec 2024 ============================== Call for Papers (CFPs) of The 4th International Conference on Ubiquitous Security (UbiSec 2024) Changsha, China, December 29 - 31, 2024 Organizers: Central South University, China Guangzhou University, China http://ubisecurity.org/2024/ ====================================================================== Keynote Speeches Section You are welcome to attend 5+ Keynote Speeches offerred by world-renowned professors and industry leaders. The detailed information will appear soon. (1) Keynote 1: Prof. Robert H. Deng, Singapore Management University, Singapore http://www.mysmu.edu/faculty/robertdeng/ (2) Keynote 2: Prof. Zonghua Gu, Ume University, Sweden https://www.umu.se/en/staff/zonghua-gu/ (3) Keynote 3: Prof. Md Zakirul Alam Bhuiyan, Fordham University, USA https://dependsys.com/dr-alam/ ====================================================================== Invited Talks Section TBD. ====================================================================== Panel Discussions Section TBD. ====================================================================== Special Issues Section TBD. ====================================================================== Welcome to participate in UbiSec 2024, Changsha, China, December 29 - 31, 2024! Changsha is a famous historical and cultural city with a variety of interest. This city has been an important grain production base in China since ancient times. The green and verdant Mt. Yuelu stands in the city and Xiangjiang River is clear as a mirror passing through the city. Orange Isle lies in the heart of the river. In particular, Changsha is very close to Chairman Mao's former residence within one-hour driving. Nowadays, being an intellectual center, Changsha has over 100 research institutions and engineering laboratories. Hybrid rice breeding and the Tianhe supercomputer are the main scientific research achievements. The 4th International Conference on Ubiquitous Security (UbiSec 2024) stems from three conference/symposium/workshop series: (1) The well-established SpaCCS conference series with Springer LNCS: UbiSec is inspired by the SpaCCS style of three tracks (Security, Privacy, and Anonymity, "Spa" for short), which covers "Big Security" leveraging computation, communication and storage ("CCS" for short) systems and networks. UbiSec extends this style with three new tracks: Cyberspace Security, Cyberspace Privacy, and Cyberspace Anonymity. (2) The UbiSafe symposium series: UbiSec follows the UbiSafe vision on "Ubiquitous Safety", also meaning that "YOU (will) BE SAFE" (pronounced "UbiSafe"). UbiSec extends this vision to "Ubiquitous Security", using "Big Security" to embrace NOT ONLY security, privacy and anonymity, BUT ALSO safety, reliability, dependability, trustworthiness and more, also meaning that "YOU (will) BE SEC(ure)" (pronounced "UbiSec"). (3) The IWCSS workshop series: UbiSec follows the IWCSS theme on "Cyberspace Security", with "Cyberspace" as the 5th national sovereign space besides the traditional four domains of land, sea, air, and aerospace. UbiSec extends this theme to "Ubiquitous Security", meaning that cyberspace will be secure, physical world will be secure, social networking systems will be secure, and thus "YOU (will) BE SECure"! The UbiSec 2024 Conference ("The Conference" for short) is the fourth event in the series of conferences/symposia/workshops which are devoted to security, privacy and anonymity in cyberspace, physical world, and social networks. The Conference covers many dimensions including security algorithms and architectures, privacy-aware policies, regulations and techniques, anonymous computation and communication, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial application systems for cyberspace, physical world, and social networking systems. As applications of computer and information technology have permeated in every aspect of our daily life, the issues of security, privacy, and anonymity have become increasingly critical. The Conference will provide a forum for world-class researchers to gather and share their research achievements, emerging ideas and trends in the highly challenging research fields. UbiSec 2024 follows the UbiSec 2023 conference in Exeter, UbiSec 2022 conference in Zhangjiajie and the UbiSec 2021 in Guangzhou, and also the traditions of previous successful SpaCCS/UbiSafe/IWCSS conference/symposium/workshop series, held in Nanjing, China (SpaCCS 2020/UbiSafe 2020), Guangzhou,China (IWCSS 2020); Altanta, USA (SpaCCS 2019/UbiSafe 2019), Guangzhou, China (IWCSS 2019); Melbourne, Australia (SpaCCS 2018/UbiSafe 2018), Guangzhou China (IWCSS 2018); Guangzhou, China (SpaCCS 2017/UbiSafe 2017/IWCSS 2017); Zhangjiajie, China (SpaCCS 2016/UbiSafe 2016); Helsinki, Finland (UbiSafe 2015); Beijing, China (UbiSafe 2014); Melbourne, Australia (UbiSafe 2013); Liverpool, UK (UbiSafe 2012); Changsha, China (UbiSafe 2011); Chengdu China (UbiSafe 2009); and Niagara Falls, Canada (UbiSafe 2007). The conference aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners in the world working in the research fields of security, privacy, and anonymity aspects of computer systems and networks. The conference will focus on broad areas of architectures, algorithms, techniques, and applications for cyberspace security, cyberspace privacy, and cyberspace anonymity.

Please, accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email. CALL FOR PAPERS ****************************************************** Data Privacy Management (DPM 2024) 19th International Workshop September 19, 2024, Bydgoszcz, Poland (co-located with ESORICS 2024) website: https://deic.uab.cat/dpm/dpm2024/ ****************************************************** IMPORTANT DATES ====================== Submission Deadline: -- June 30, 2024 (extended) Notification: -- July 15, 2024 Camera Ready: -- August 19, 2024 ====== SCOPE ====== DPM is an annual international workshop covering research in data privacy management. Organizations are increasingly concerned about the privacy of information that they manage (as witnessed, for example, by lawsuits filed against organizations for violating the privacy of customer's data). Thus, the management of privacy-sensitive information is very critical and important for every organization. This poses several challenging problems, such as how to translate the high-level business goals into system-level privacy policies, administration of privacy-sensitive data, privacy preserving data integration and engineering, privacy preserving access control mechanisms, information-oriented security, and query execution on privacy-sensitive data for partial answers. Starting from these observations, the aim of DPM is to discuss and exchange ideas related to data privacy management. We invite papers from researchers and practitioners working in privacy, security, trustworthy data systems and related areas to submit their original papers in this workshop. Submissions by PhD students as well as controversial ideas are encouraged. Case studies (successful or not) are also encouraged. TOPICS ======== Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Privacy in Machine Learning - Privacy Information Management - Privacy Policy-based Infrastructures and Architectures - Privacy-oriented Access Control Languages and Models - Privacy in Trust Management - Privacy in Cryptocurrencies - Privacy Data Integration - Privacy Risk Assessment and Assurance - Privacy Services - Privacy Policy Analysis - Data Protection Regulations in Practice - Cryptographic Protocols for Privacy - Query Execution over Privacy Sensitive Data - Privacy Preserving Data Mining - Privacy for Integrity-based Computing - Privacy Monitoring and Auditing - Privacy in Social Networks - Privacy in Ambient Intelligence (AmI) Applications - Individual Privacy vs. Corporate/National Security - Privacy in computer networks - Privacy and RFIDs - Privacy and Big Data - Privacy in sensor networks - Privacy in the Internet of Things PAPER SUBMISSIONS =================== Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers can be submitted as Full Papers or Short Papers. Full papers should be at most 16 pages in the LNCS format, including the bibliography and well-marked appendices. Short papers should be at most 8 pages in the LNCS format, including the bibliography and well-marked appendices. Program Committee members are not required to read the appendices, so papers should be intelligible without them. Authors should indicate whether their paper is a short paper to differentiate them from full papers. All submissions must be written in English. It is planned to have accepted papers published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series, the LNCS template can be found at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors. Authors must submit their papers by the indicated deadline, using the EasyChair web site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dpm2024 Only PDF files will be accepted (a Latex source file will be required for the final version of the accepted papers). All papers will be refereed. Accepted papers must be presented at the Workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper must register to the workshop, by the early date indicated by the organizers, and present the paper.

UbiSec 2024-Call for Papers-Deadline 15 July 2024
by Qin Liu 07 Jun '24

07 Jun '24

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of UbiSec 2024 Preliminary CFPs with Deadline (July 15, 2024). ============================== UbiSec 2024 ============================== Call for Papers (CFPs) of The 4th International Conference on Ubiquitous Security (UbiSec 2024) Changsha, China, December 29 - 31, 2024 Organizer: Central South University, China http://ubisecurity.org/2024/ ====================================================================== Keynote Speeches Section TBD. ====================================================================== Invited Talks Section TBD. ====================================================================== Panel Discussions Section TBD. ====================================================================== Special Issues Section TBD. ====================================================================== Welcome to participate in UbiSec 2024, Changsha, China, December 29 - 31, 2024! Changsha is a famous historical and cultural city with a variety of interest. This city has been an important grain production base in China since ancient times. The green and verdant Mt. Yuelu stands in the city and Xiangjiang River is clear as a mirror passing through the city. Orange Isle lies in the heart of the river. In particular, Changsha is very close to Chairman Mao's former residence within one-hour driving. Nowadays, being an intellectual center, Changsha has over 100 research institutions and engineering laboratories. Hybrid rice breeding and the Tianhe supercomputer are the main scientific research achievements. The 4th International Conference on Ubiquitous Security (UbiSec 2024) stems from three conference/symposium/workshop series: (1) The well-established SpaCCS conference series with Springer LNCS: UbiSec is inspired by the SpaCCS style of three tracks (Security, Privacy, and Anonymity, "Spa" for short), which covers "Big Security" leveraging computation, communication and storage ("CCS" for short) systems and networks. UbiSec extends this style with three new tracks: Cyberspace Security, Cyberspace Privacy, and Cyberspace Anonymity. (2) The UbiSafe symposium series: UbiSec follows the UbiSafe vision on "Ubiquitous Safety", also meaning that "YOU (will) BE SAFE" (pronounced "UbiSafe"). UbiSec extends this vision to "Ubiquitous Security", using "Big Security" to embrace NOT ONLY security, privacy and anonymity, BUT ALSO safety, reliability, dependability, trustworthiness and more, also meaning that "YOU (will) BE SEC(ure)" (pronounced "UbiSec"). (3) The IWCSS workshop series: UbiSec follows the IWCSS theme on "Cyberspace Security", with "Cyberspace" as the 5th national sovereign space besides the traditional four domains of land, sea, air, and aerospace. UbiSec extends this theme to "Ubiquitous Security", meaning that cyberspace will be secure, physical world will be secure, social networking systems will be secure, and thus "YOU (will) BE SECure"! The UbiSec 2024 Conference ("The Conference" for short) is the fourth event in the series of conferences/symposia/workshops which are devoted to security, privacy and anonymity in cyberspace, physical world, and social networks. The Conference covers many dimensions including security algorithms and architectures, privacy-aware policies, regulations and techniques, anonymous computation and communication, encompassing fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and commercial application systems for cyberspace, physical world, and social networking systems. As applications of computer and information technology have permeated in every aspect of our daily life, the issues of security, privacy, and anonymity have become increasingly critical. The Conference will provide a forum for world-class researchers to gather and share their research achievements, emerging ideas and trends in the highly challenging research fields. UbiSec 2024 follows the UbiSec 2023 conference in Exeter, UbiSec 2022 conference in Zhangjiajie and the UbiSec 2021 in Guangzhou, and also the traditions of previous successful SpaCCS/UbiSafe/IWCSS conference/symposium/workshop series, held in Nanjing, China (SpaCCS 2020/UbiSafe 2020), Guangzhou,China (IWCSS 2020); Altanta, USA (SpaCCS 2019/UbiSafe 2019), Guangzhou, China (IWCSS 2019); Melbourne, Australia (SpaCCS 2018/UbiSafe 2018), Guangzhou China (IWCSS 2018); Guangzhou, China (SpaCCS 2017/UbiSafe 2017/IWCSS 2017); Zhangjiajie, China (SpaCCS 2016/UbiSafe 2016); Helsinki, Finland (UbiSafe 2015); Beijing, China (UbiSafe 2014); Melbourne, Australia (UbiSafe 2013); Liverpool, UK (UbiSafe 2012); Changsha, China (UbiSafe 2011); Chengdu China (UbiSafe 2009); and Niagara Falls, Canada (UbiSafe 2007). The conference aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners in the world working in the research fields of security, privacy, and anonymity aspects of computer systems and networks. The conference will focus on broad areas of architectures, algorithms, techniques, and applications for cyberspace security, cyberspace privacy, and cyberspace anonymity.

While some of them are slightly different copies of Bitcoin, other ones propose interesting improvements or new usages of the underlying blockchain technology. However, the novelty of such technologies is often tied with rapid developments and proof-of-concept software, and rigorous scientific analyses of the proposed systems are often skipped. This workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers in this area to carefully analyze current systems and propose new ones in order to create a scientific background for a solid development of new cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology systems. The main topics include (but are not limited to): * Anonymity and privacy in cryptocurrencies * Privacy-preserving technologies * Cryptocurrency based trust systems * Security analysis of existing cryptocurrencies * Formal threat models in cryptocurrency systems * Improvement proposals for existing cryptocurrencies * Application and service cases of distributed ledgers technologies * P2P network cryptocurrencies analysis * Private transactions in blockchain based systems * New usages of the blockchain technology * Scalability solutions for blockchain systems * Blockchain-defined networking * Smart contracts * Distributed Identity Management * Distributed consensus and fault tolerance * Blockhain Protocols and algorithms * Transaction Monitoring and Analysis * Token Economy, finance and payments * Consensus mechanisms * On-chain and off-chain code synergies * Oracles, DeFi, and non-fungible tokens * Decentralized applications and protocols * Blockchain as a service =================== SUBMISSION DETAILS =================== Regular and short papers must be original and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts following the LNCS Proceedings Manuscript style. Papers are limited to 16 pages (full papers), or 8 pages (short papers) including references and appendices, and can be submitted as PDF via the CBT 2024 submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cbt2024 *Double blind review*: CBT requires anonymized submissions -- please make sure that submitted papers contain no author names or obvious self-references. Accepted regular papers will be published by Springer in the LNCS collection. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and present their work at the workshop; otherwise the paper will not be included in the proceedings. ================== PROGRAM COMMITEE ================== PC Chairs: Sergi Delgado-Segura - Chaincode Labs Cristina Perez-Sola - Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona PC Members: Lennart Ante - Blockchain Research Lab Daniel Augot - INRIA Saclay Alex Biryukov - University of Luxembourg Mauro Conti - University of Padua Vanesa Daza - Universitat Pompeu Fabra Victor Garcia - Universitat Oberta de Catalunya Hannes Hartenstein - KIT Jordi Herrera-Joancomarti - Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona Jiasun Li - George Mason University Shin'ichiro Matsuo - Virginia Tech and Georgetown University Jose Luis Munoz-Tapia - Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya Guillermo Navarro-Arribas - Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona Dongming Peng - University of Nebraska-Lincoln Matteo Signorini - Nokia Bell Labs Hitesh Tewari - Trinity College Dublin Florian Tschorsch - Technische Universitat Berlin Eirini Tsiropoulou - University of New Mexico Dimitrios Vasilopoulos - IMDEA Software Institute ================== VENUE/FORMAT ================== The workshop will be held in Bydgoszcz, Poland, in conjunction with the 29th annual European Symposium on Research in Computer Security, ESORICS.
