ACNS 2020 -- Call for Papers

22-25 June 2020

Rome, Italy

http://jianying.space/acns/ACNS2020/Home.html

First submission deadline:  9 Sept 2019

Second submission deadline:  20 Jan 2020


The 18th International Conference on Applied Cryptography and Network
Security (ACNS 2020) will be held in Rome, Italy on 22-25 June 2020. The
conference will be organised by the Computer Security group at Sapienza
University. The proceedings of ACNS 2020 will be published by Springer in
the LNCS series.

ACNS is an annual conference focusing on current developments that advance
the areas of applied cryptography and its application to systems and
network security. The goal is to represent both academic research works as
well as developments in industrial and technical frontiers.

The conference seeks submissions presenting novel research on all technical
aspects of applied cryptography, cyber security (including network and
computer security) and privacy. Submissions may focus on the modelling,
design, analysis (including security proofs and attacks), development (e.g.
implementations), deployment (e.g. system integration), and maintenance
(e.g. performance measurements, usability studies) of algorithms,
protocols, standards, implementations, technologies devices, systems
standing in relation with applied cryptography, cyber security and privacy,
while advancing or bringing new insights to the state of the art.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Access control

Applied cryptography

Automated security analysis

Biometric security/privacy

Blockchain and cryptocurrencies

Cloud security/privacy

Complex systems security

Critical infrastructure

Cryptographic primitives

Cryptographic protocols

Data protection

Database/system security

Digital rights management

Email, app and web security

Future Internet security

Human factors in security

Identity management

IP protection

Internet fraud, cybercrime

Internet-of-Things security

Intrusion detection

Key management

Malware

Mobile/wireless/5G security

Network security protocols

Privacy/anonymity, PETs

Security in e-commerce

Security in grid systems

Security in P2P systems

Security/privacy metrics

Trust management

Ubiquitous security/privacy

Usability in security/privacy

Besides the main conference, ACNS also seeks workshop proposals. Each satellite
workshop will provide a forum to address a specific topic at the forefront
of cybersecurity research. Papers accepted at the workshops will have
post-proceedings published by Springer in the LNCS series as well.

Instructions for Authors:

Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors
has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any other venue
with formally published proceedings. Information about submissions may be
shared with program chairs of other conferences for that purpose.
Submissions must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations,
acknowledgement or obvious references. Each submission must begin with a
title, short abstract, and a list of keywords. The introduction should
summarise the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a
non-specialist reader. All submissions must follow the original LNCS format
(see http://www.springeronline.com/lncs) with a page limit of 20 pages
(incl. references) for the main part (reviewers are not required to read
beyond this limit) and 30 pages in total. Papers should be submitted
electronically in PDF format. Paper rejected at the first round can be
submitted at the second round (together with a response letter addressing
the reviewers’ points). Submissions not meeting the submission guidelines
risk rejection without consideration of their merits. It is strongly
encouraged that submissions be processed in LaTeX. Authors of accepted
papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference
and must make a full version of their paper available online. To encourage
promising students to publish their best results in ACNS, any paper
co-authored by at least one full-time student who will present the paper at
the conference is eligible for the best student paper award, with a cash
reward of Euro 1000 sponsored by Springer.
