slightly in content or time of update):
SP 2010 31st IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy, The Claremont Resort, Oakland, CA, USA, May 16-19, 2010. (Submissions due 18 November 2009)
Since 1980, 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 We solicit previously unpublished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 computer
security or privacy. Papers may present advances in the theory, design,
implementation, analysis, verification, or empirical evaluation of secure
systems. S&P is interested in all aspects of computer security and privacy. P
apers without a clear application to security or privacy, however, will be
considered out of scope and may be rejected without full review.
*Systematization of Knowledge Papers*: In addition to the standard research papers,
we are also soliciting papers focused on systematization of knowledge. The goal
of this call is to encourage work that evaluates, systematizes, and contextualizes
existing knowledge. These papers will provide a high value to our community but
would otherwise not be accepted because they lack novel research contributions.
Suitable papers include survey papers that provide useful perspectives on major
research areas, papers that support or challenge long-held beliefs with compelling
evidence, or papers that provide an extensive and realistic evaluation of
competing approaches to solving specific problems. Submissions will be
distinguished by a checkbox on the submission form. They will be reviewed by
the full PC and held to the same standards as traditional research papers,
except instead of emphasizing novel research contributions the emphasis will be
on value to the community. Accepted papers will be presented at the symposium
and included in the proceedings.
*Workshops*: The Symposium is also soliciting submissions for colocated workshops.
Workshop proposals should be sent by Friday, 21 August 2009 by email to Carrie
Gates (carrie.gates@ca.com). Workshops may be half-day or full-day in length.
Submissions should include the workshop title, a short description of the topic
of the workshop, and biographies of the organizers.
WISTP 2010 4th Workshop on Information Security Theory and Practice, Passau, Germany, April 13-14, 2010. (Submissions due 20 November 2009)
The impact of pervasive and smart devices on our daily lives is ever increasing, and the rapid technological development of information technologies ensures that this impact is constantly changing. It is imperative that these complex and resource constrained technologies are not vulnerable to attack. This workshop will consider the full impact of the use of pervasive and smart technologies on individuals, and society at large, with regard to the security and privacy of the systems that make use of them. The workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of security and privacy of pervasive systems and smart devices, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems. We encourage submissions that address the application of security technology, the implementation of systems, and lessons learned. We encourage submissions from other communities such as law and business that present these communities' perspectives on technological issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
IDtrust 2010 9th Symposium on Identity and Trust on the Internet, Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA, April 13-15, 2010. (Submissions due 22 November 2009)
IDtrust is looking for papers related to all parts of the public-key mediated authentication and access control problem. All software systems, from enterprise data centers to small businesses and consumer-facing applications, must make access control decisions for protected data. IDtrust is a venue for the discussion of the complete access control process (authentication, authorization, provisioning and security decision workflow), addressing questions such as: "What are the authorization strategies that will succeed in the next decade?" "What technologies exist to address complex requirements today?" "What research is academia and industry pursuing to solve the problems likely to show up in the next few years?" Identity as used here refers to not just the principal identifier, but also to attributes and claims. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
COSADE 2010 1st Workshop on Constructive Side-channel analysis and Secure Design, Darmstadt, Germany, February 4-5, 2010. (Submissions due 6 December 2009)
Side-channel analysis (SCA) has become an important field of research at universities and in the industry. Of particular interest is constructive side-channel analysis, as successful attacks support a target-oriented associated design process. In order to enhance the side-channel resistance of cryptographic implementations within the design phase, constructive SCA may serve as a quality metric to optimize the design- and development process. This workshop provides an international platform for researchers, academics, and industry participants to present their work and their current research topics. It is an excellent opportunity to meet experts and to initiate new collaborations and information exchange at a professional level. The workshop will feature both invited presentations and contributing talks. The topics of COSADE 2010 include but are not limited to:
TaPP 2010 2nd Workshop on the Theory and Practice of Provenance, Held in conjunction with the 8th USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies (FAST 2010), San Jose, CA, USA, February 22, 2010. (Submissions due 14 December 2009)
Provenance, or meta-information about computations, computer systems, database queries, scientific workflows, and so on, is emerging as a central issue in a number of disciplines. The TaPP workshop series builds upon a set of workshops on Principles of Provenance organized in 2007-2009, which helped raise the profile of this area within diverse research communities, such as databases, security, and programming languages. We hope to attract serious cross-disciplinary, foundational, and highly speculative research and to facilitate needed interaction with the broader systems community and with industry. We invite submissions addressing research problems involving provenance in any area of computer science, including but not limited to:

International Journal of Secure Software Engineering (IJSSE), Special Issue on Software Safety & Dependability - the Art of Engineering Trustworthy Software, January 2011. (Submission Due 1 February 2010)
Guest editor: Lei Wu (University of Houston-Clear Lake, Houston, Texas, U.S.A)
and Yi Feng (Algoma University, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada)
Software Safety is an element of the total safety program. It optimizes system
safety & dependability in the design, development, use, and maintenance of
software systems and their integration with safety critical application
systems in an operational environment. Increasing size and complexity of
software systems makes it harder to ensure their dependability. At the
same time, the issues of safety become more critical as we more and more
rely on software systems in our daily life. These trends make it necessary
to support software engineers with a set of techniques and tools for
developing dependable, trustworthy software. Software safety cannot be
allowed to function independently of the total effort. Both simple and
highly integrated multiple systems are experiencing an extraordinary
growth in the use of software to monitor and/or control safety-critical
subsystems or functions. A software specification error, design flaw,
or the lack of generic safety-critical requirements can contribute to
or cause a system failure or erroneous human decision. To achieve an
acceptable level of dependability goals for software used in critical
applications, software safety engineering must be given primary emphasis
early in the requirements definition and system conceptual design process.
Safety-critical software must then receive continuous management emphasis
and engineering analysis throughout the development and operational
lifecycles of the system. In this special issue, we are seeking
insights in how we can confront the challenges of software safety &
dependability issues in developing dependable, trustworthy software
systems. Some suggested areas include, but not limited to:
ACNS 2010 8th International Conference on Applied Cryptography and Network Security, Beijing, China, June 22-25, 2010. (Submissions due 5 February 2010)
Original papers on all aspects of applied cryptography and network security are solicited for submission to ACNS '10. Topics of relevance include but are not limited to:
WEIS 2010 9th Workshop on the Economics of Information Security, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA, June 7-8, 2010. (Submissions due 22 February 2010)
The Workshop on the Economics of Information Security (WEIS) is the leading forum for interdisciplinary scholarship on information security, combining expertise from the fields of economics, social science, business, law, policy and computer science. Prior workshops have explored the role of incentives between attackers and defenders, identified market failures dogging Internet security, and assessed investments in cyber-defense. This workshop will build on past efforts using empirical and analytic tools to not only understand threats, but also strengthen security through novel evaluations of available solutions. How should information risk be modeled given the constraints of rare incidence and high interdependence? How do individuals' and organizations' perceptions of privacy and security color their decision making? How can we move towards a more secure information infrastructure and code base while accounting for the incentives of stakeholders? We encourage economists, computer scientists, business school researchers, legal scholars, security and privacy specialists, as well as industry experts to submit their research and attend the workshop. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to) empirical and theoretical studies of:
LEET 2010 3rd USENIX Workshop on Large-Scale Exploits and Emergent Threats: Botnets, Spyware, Worms, and More, Held in conjunction with the 7th USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI 2010), San Jose, CA, USA, April 27, 2010. (Submissions due 25 February 2010)
LEET aims to provide a unique forum for the discussion of threats to the confidentiality of our data, the integrity of digital transactions, and the dependability of the technologies we increasingly rely on. We encourage submissions of papers that focus on the malicious activities themselves (e.g., reconnaissance, exploitation, privilege escalation, rootkit installation, attack), our responses as defenders (e.g., prevention, detection, and mitigation), or the social, political, and economic goals driving these malicious activities and the legal and ethical codes guiding our defensive responses. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
