The IEEE Conference on Dependable and Secure Computing (DSC 2025) invites submissions of papers, posters, and practices/experiences showcasing innovative research, practical solutions, and emerging challenges in dependable and secure computing. This premier conference aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders to advance the state-of-the-art in designing, implementing, and analyzing dependable and secure computing systems. We welcome contributions covering the entire IT landscape, including hardware design, software engineering, network security, cloud computing, IoT security, and AI-driven security solutions, with a strong focus on dependability and security. Accepted papers will be eligible for submission to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library
.

    Security Circuits, Designs, and Detection

Experience and Practice Track: Short Papers

The DSC conference also solicits short (2-page) experience and practice papers that present new findings from operational or experimental systems. Submissions to this track will be evaluated with the understanding that they primarily contribute to practical know-how or an enhanced understanding of how established security techniques perform in real-world deployments. Authors have to submit a 2-page paper along with a supplemental video (up to 3 minutes) demonstrating the implementation and/or the practicability of the work. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

    Attacks on Information Systems and/or Digital Information Storage
    CSIRTs, Incident Analysis, and Response
    Honeypots/Honeynets
    Malware Analysis and Reversing
    Mobile Communications Security and Vulnerabilities
    Newly discovered vulnerabilities in software and hardware
    Offensive (and Counter-Offensive) Information Technology
    Reverse Engineering, Forensics, and Anti-Forensics
    Spyware, Phishing and Distributed Attacks
    VLSI/CAD Design Knowhow
    Data Security and Privacy
    PPML and online advertising
    Attacks on model robustness
