## Call for papers

Since 1980 in Oakland, the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy has been the 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 We solicit previously unpublished papers offering novel research contributions in any aspect of security or privacy. Papers may present advances in the theory, design, implementation, analysis, verification, or empirical evaluation and measurement of secure systems. Theoretical papers must make a convincing case for the relevance of their results to practice. Topics of interest include: Applied cryptography Attacks with novel insights, techniques, or results Authentication, access control, and authorization Blockchains and distributed ledger security Cloud computing security Cyber physical systems security Distributed systems security Economics of security and privacy Embedded systems security Formal methods and verification Hardware security Hate, Harassment, and online abuse Human-centered security and privacy Intrusion detection and prevention ML - Methods for confidentiality and privacy of data in ML systems ML - Methods for integrity and availability of ML systems ML - Novel attacks on ML systems ML - Verifying security and privacy properties of ML algorithms Malware and unwanted software Network security and measurement Operating systems security Privacy-enhancing technologies, anonymity, and censorship Program and binary analysis Protocol security Security and privacy metrics Security and privacy policies Security architectures Security for at-risk populations Software supply chain security Systems security User studies for security and privacy Web security and privacy Wireless and mobile security/privacy This topic list is not meant to be exhaustive; S&P is interested in all aspects of computer security and privacy. Papers without a clear application to security or privacy, however, will be considered out of scope and may be rejected without full review.
