SINCONF 2020

Papers, special sessions, tutorials, and workshops addressing all aspects of security in information and networks are being sought. Researchers and industrial practitioners working on the following and related subjects are especially encouraged: development and realization of cryptographic solutions, security schemes, new algorithms; critical analysis of existing approaches; secure information systems, security, privacy, and trust of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies, secure smart contracts, consensus mechanisms, especially distributed control and processing applications, and security in networks; interoperability, service levels and quality issues in such systems; information assurance, security, and public policy; detection and prevention of cybercrimes such as fraud and phishing; next generation network architectures, protocols, systems and applications; industrial experiences and challenges of the above. Doctoral students are encouraged to propose papers on ongoing research. Original papers will be considered; submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any other conference or workshop that has proceedings. All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee judging its originality, significance, correctness, presentation and relevance. Authors are also encouraged to propose position papers on practical studies and experiments, critique of existing work, emerging issues, and novel ideas under development. Enterprises and research centers developing, implementing, or using security tools and frameworks are encouraged to propose application / tool demo. Proposals of half-day tutorials on fundamental to advanced subjects covering practical implementation aspects of security are welcome. Proposals of special session(s) to be held in the main conference are welcome. Proposals of workshops to be held in conjunction with the conference are welcome. The theme of a workshop proposal should be closely related to a specific area of the conference topics.

Broad areas of interest in security theory, technology and applications will include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Access control and intrusion detection
• Security of cyber-physical systems
• Autonomous and adaptive security
• Security tools and development platforms
• Computational intelligence techniques in security
