Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

- Security and privacy in computer networks (e.g., wired, wireless, mobile, hybrid, sensor, vehicular, satellite, 5G, 6G, ad hoc, peer-to-peer, and software-defined networks)
- Security and privacy in systems with a strong secure communication and networking element (e.g., security in cloud, IoT, cyber-physical systems, edge and fog computing, and teleconferencing)
- Physical layer security (e.g., jamming, GPS spoofing)
- Web and mobile security and privacy
- Security protocols at all network layers and for different applications (e.g., for secure routing, naming/addressing, network management, remote authentication and attestation)
- Network attacks (e.g., DDoS, MitM, malware, botnets, side-channel attacks, phishing/pharming, cybersquatting) and defenses (e.g., network intrusion detection and prevention, firewalls, packet filters, moving target defence)
- Network, internet and cloud forensics
- Cybercrime investigation and attribution
- Cyber threat intelligence and cyber incident responses
- Anonymous and privacy-aware communications (e.g., Tor, darknet)
- Internet censorship and circumvention
- Secure communication and networking applications (e.g., industry 4.0, energy, transportation, smart cities)
- Quantum key distribution and other quantum-based secure communications
- Visualization of secure communications and networking
- Privacy-preserving computing in secure communication and networking (e.g., privacy-preserving machine learning)
- Distributed ledger technologies (e.g., blockchain and cryptocurrencies)
- Resilience of computer networks and critical infrastructures
- Defending false information online (e.g., mis-, dis- and mal-information)
- Socio-technical aspects of secure communications and networking (e.g., usability, human behaviours, legal issues, cybercrime, economics)
- Security and privacy of contact tracing and other COVID-19 related digital interventions with a core element on telecommunications or networking
