TrustData 2020 11th International Workshop on Trust, Security and Privacy for Big Data, Nanjing, China, December 18-20, 2020. [posted here 6/29/20]
The proliferation of new technologies such as Internet of Things and cloud computing calls for innovative ideas to retrieve, filter, and integrate data from a large number of diverse data sources. Big Data is an emerging paradigm applied to datasets whose volume/velocity/variability is beyond the ability of commonly used software tools to manage and process the data within a tolerable period of time. More importantly, Big Data has to be of high value, and should be protected in an efficient way. Since Big Data involves a huge amount of data that is of high-dimensionality and inter-linkage, existing trust, security, and privacy measures for traditional databases and infrastructures cannot satisfy its requirements. Novel technologies for protecting Big Data are attracting researchers and practitioners with more and more attention.

DL-CTI 2020 1st ICDM Workshop on Deep Learning for Cyber Threat Intelligence, Held in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM 2020), Sorrento, Italy, November 17-20, 2020. [posted here 6/29/20]
The regularity of devastating cyber-attacks has made cybersecurity a grand societal challenge. To combat this societal issue, many organizations have aimed to develop timely, relevant, and actionable intelligence about emerging threats and key threat actors to enable effective cybersecurity decisions. This process, also referred to as Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) has quickly emerged as a key aspect of cybersecurity. At its core, CTI is a data-driven process that requires relies on the systematic and large-scale analysis of log files, malware binaries, events, Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), and other rapidly evolving cybersecurity data sources. While numerous traditional text mining, web mining, and data mining approaches have seen remarkable developments in the past half-decade, these approaches rely on manual feature engineering approaches. In a rapidly evolving domain, such efforts are highly reactive, labor intensive, and can result in missing critical insights. Deep learning holds significant promise in automatically analyzing large quantities of structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data identify patterns, emerging threats, and key hackers without ad-hoc feature engineering efforts. As a result, deep learning-based CTI systems are more resilient, detect threats previously missed by conventional analyses, and are dynamic to the ever-evolving threat landscape. Despite its successes, Deep Learning for CTI (DL-CTI) remains a nascent, yet promising, research area. This workshop seeks to foster a budding community of cybersecurity data scientists by recruiting high quality papers and holding discussions related to emerging applications, techniques, and methodologies related to deep learning for CTI applications.

DependSys 2020 6th IEEE International Conference on Dependability in Sensor, Cloud, and Big Data Systems and Applications, Fiji, December 14-16, 2020. [posted here 6/8/20]
IEEE DependSys 2020 conference is the 6th event in the series of conferences which offers a timely venue for bringing together new ideas, techniques, and solutions for dependability and its issues in sensor, cloud, and big data systems and applications. As we are deep into the Information Age, huge amounts of data are generated every day from sensors, individual archives, social networks, Internet of Things, enterprises and Internet in various scales and format which will pose a major challenge to the dependability of our designed systems. As these systems often tend to become inert, fragile, and vulnerable after a period of running. Effectively improving the dependability of sensor, cloud, big data systems and applications has become increasingly critical.

This conference provides a forum for individuals, academics, practitioners, and organizations who are developing or procuring sophisticated computer systems on whose dependability of services they need to place great confidence. Future systems need to close the dependability gap in face of challenges in different circumstances. The emphasis will be on differing properties of such services, e.g., continuity, effective performance, real-time responsiveness, ability to overcome data fault, corruption, anomaly, ability to avoid catastrophic failures, prevention of deliberate privacy intrusions, reliability, availability, sustainability, adaptability, heterogeneity, security, safety, and so on.

IoTSMS 2020 7th International Conference on Internet of Things: Systems, Management and Security, Paris, France, December 14-16, 2020. [posted here 6/22/20]
The Internet of Things (IoT) technology offers unprecedented opportunities to interconnect human beings as well as Machine-to-Machine (M2M), whereby sensors and networks allow all ëthingsí to communicate directly with each other to share vital information allowing us to have an instrumented universe where accurate data is readily available to inform optimal decision making. The IoT is about to enable a range of new capabilities and services far beyond todayís offerings. It will fundamentally change how people go about their lives. According to Gartner, the number of objects connected to the Internet is set to reach 20 billion by 2020. Cisco estimates the number will be close to 26 billion objects by 2020. Others believe the actual number will be even higher with the assumption that any object with a simple micro controller and on-off switch will be connected to the Internet in the near feature. The scale of the IoT is set to have a major economic, social and environmental impacts; the intersection of which forms the future sustainable growth.

The international conference on Internet of Things: Systems, Management and Security (IoTSMS) aims at soliciting original ideas on the broad area of IoT including challenges and opportunities, concepts and applications and future trends. The IoTSMS aims to facilitate discussions among academics and IoT practitioners and make positive contributions to the field.

The 27th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS) seeks submissions presenting novel contributions related to all real-world aspects of computer security and privacy. Theoretical papers must make a convincing case for the relevance of their results to practice. Authors are encouraged to write the abstract and introduction of their paper in a way that makes the results accessible and compelling to a general computer-security researcher. In particular, authors should bear in mind that anyone on the program committee may be asked to review any paper. As in 2019, CCS will have two review cycles in 2020. For each submission, one of the following decisions will be made:
Accept: Papers in this category will be accepted for publication in the proceedings and presentation at the conference, possibly after making minor changes with the oversight of a shepherd.
Major Revision: Papers in this category are considered to be promising but need additional work (e.g., new experiments, proofs, or implementations). Authors will be given the opportunity to resubmit such papers, with appropriate revisions, in which case they should clearly explain in a well-marked appendix how the revisions address the comments of the reviewers. The revised paper will then be re-evaluated, and either accepted or rejected.
Reject: Papers in this category are declined for inclusion in the conference. Papers rejected from the first review cycle may not be submitted again (even in revised form) to the second review cycle.
Authors of each accepted paper must ensure that at least one author registers for the conference, and that their paper is presented in-person at the conference.

IEEE S&B 2020 4th IEEE Security and Privacy on the Blockchain Workshop, Held in conjunction with EuroS&P 2020, Genova, Italy, September 7-11, 2020. [posted here 3/2/20]
Cryptocurrencies have emerged as a promising instrument for financial transaction services that provide transparency and integrity in a decentralized fashion. Their clever combination of blockchains with new incentive mechanisms facilitate publicly verifiable and peer-to-peer transactions without a trusted central party. As a result, they have caught the attention of academic researchers, mainstream media, regulators, entrepreneurs and traditional financial institutions. As a subject for academic research, the global and self-enforcing nature of blockchains raises interesting questions and challenges across several disciplines including computer science, law, economic and human-computer interaction. Our workshop focuses on a wide-range of topics ranging from the scalability of cryptocurrencies, achieving and evaluating financial privacy in public blockchains, permissioning access to blockchains to satisfy regulatory requirements, aligning honest behaviour in blockchain ecosystems and smart contracts through the application of game theory and mechanism design, and the critical analysis of various applications of blockchain to other domains.

5G-NS 2020 Workshop on 5G Networks Security, Held in the conjunction with the ARES workshops EU Projects Symposium 2020 at 15th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2020), Dublin, Ireland, August 25 - 28, 2020. [posted here 2/3/20]
With the great success and development of 4G mobile networks it is expected that the 5th generation wireless systems (in short 5G) will be a continued effort toward rich ubiquitous communication infrastructure, promising wide range of high-quality services. It is envisioned that 5G communication will offer significantly greater data bandwidth and almost infinite capability of networking resulting in unfaltering user experiences for, among others: virtual/augmented reality, massive content streaming, telepresence, user-centric computing, crowded area services, smart personal networks, Internet of Things (IoT), smart buildings, smart cities.

The 5G communication is currently in the center of attention of industry, academia, and government worldwide. 5G drives many new requirements for different network capabilities. As 5G aims at utilizing many promising network technologies, such as Software Defined Networking (SDN), Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), Information Centric Network (ICN), Network Slicing, Cloud Computing, etc. and supporting a huge number of connected devices integrating above mentioned advanced technologies and innovating new techniques will surely bring tremendous challenges for security, privacy and trust. Therefore, secure network architectures, mechanisms, and protocols are required as the basis for 5G to address these issues and follow security-by-design approaches. Finally, since in 5G networks even more user data and network traffic will be transmitted, big data security solutions should be considered in order to address the magnitude of the data volume and ensure data security and privacy.

From this perspective, the 5G-NS 2020 workshop aims at collecting the most relevant ongoing research efforts in 5G networks security field. It also serves as a forum for 5G-PPP Phase 1 & Phase 2 projects in order to disseminate their security-related results and tighten & boost cooperation, and foster development of the 5G Security Community made of 5G security experts and practitioners who pro-actively discuss and share information to collectively progress and align on the field.

IWCC 2020 9th International Workshop on Cyber Crime, Held in conjunction with the 15th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2020), Dublin, Ireland, August 24-28, 2020. [posted here 1/20/20]
TodayÕs worldÕs societies are becoming more and more dependent on open networks such as the Internet Ð where commercial activities, business transactions and government services are realized. This has led to the fast development of new cyber threats and numerous information security issues which are exploited by cyber criminals. The inability to provide trusted secure services in contemporary computer network technologies has a tremendous socio-economic impact on global enterprises as well as individuals. Moreover, the frequently occurring international frauds impose the necessity to conduct the investigation of facts spanning across multiple international borders. Such examination is often subject to different jurisdictions and legal systems. A good illustration of the above being the Internet, which has made it easier to perpetrate traditional crimes. It has acted as an alternate avenue for the criminals to conduct their activities, and launch attacks with relative anonymity. The increased complexity of the communications and the networking infrastructure is making investigation of the crimes difficult. Traces of illegal digital activities are often buried in large volumes of data, which are hard to inspect with the aim of detecting offences and collecting evidence. Nowadays, the digital crime scene functions like any other network, with dedicated administrators functioning as the first responders. This poses new challenges for law enforcement policies and forces the computer societies to utilize digital forensics to combat the increasing number of cybercrimes. Forensic professionals must be fully prepared in order to be able to provide court admissible evidence. To make these goals achievable, forensic techniques should keep pace with new technologies. The aim of this workshop is to bring together the research accomplishments provided by the researchers from academia and the industry. The other goal is to show the latest research results in the field of digital forensics and to present the development of tools and techniques, which assist the investigation process of potentially illegal cyber activity. We encourage prospective authors to submit related distinguished research papers on the subject of both: theoretical approaches and practical case reviews.

CUING 2020 4th International Workshop on Criminal Use of Information Hiding, Held in conjunction with the 15th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2020), Dublin, Ireland, August 24-28, 2020. [posted here 1/20/20]
With the constant rise of the number of Internet users, available bandwidth and an increasing number of services shifting into the connected world, criminals are increasingly active in the virtual world. With improving defensive methods cybercriminals have to utilize more and more sophisticated ways to perform their malicious activities. While protecting the privacy of users, many technologies used in current malware and network attacks have been abused in order to allow criminals to carry out their activities undetected. This poses a lot of new challenges for digital forensics analysts, academics, law enforcement agencies (LEAs), and security professionals. The aim of the 4th International Workshop on Criminal Use of Information Hiding (CUIng) is to bring together researchers, practitioners, law enforcement representatives, and security professionals in the area of analysis of information hiding. However data hiding is understood here in a wider manner than in the academic world i.e. all techniques that pertain to camouflaging/masking/hiding various types of data (e.g. identities, behavior, communication, etc.) are included here. This means not only digital steganography/covert channels but also obfuscation/anti-forensics techniques and even underground networks (darknets) or activities related to behavior impersonation or mimicking. This will allow to present a more complete picture on novel research regarding the use of data and communication hiding methods in criminal environments and discuss ideas for fighting misuse of privacy enhancing technologies. Moreover, this year the CUING workshop is co-organized with the SIMARGL (Secure Intelligent Methods for Advanced RecoGnition of malware and stegomalware) H2020 project.

IoTSPT-ML 2020 10th International Workshop on Security, Privacy, Trust, and Machine Learning for Internet of Things, Held in conjunction with the 29th International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (ICCCN 2020), Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, August 6, 2020. [posted here 2/24/20]
Experts predict that there will be 3-4 billion of connected devices in use by consumers by the end of this year. Although these devices in smart TVs, microwave ovens, thermostats, etc., will probably make our lives more energy and cost efficient, they can also threaten the security of our homes. This is because the manufacturers of these devices are primarily interested in functionality and do not focus on securing the device against cyber-attacks, protecting the privacy of consumer information on the device, securing the communications from/to the device, etc. The massive scale and the variety of these devices also make it difficult for the manufacturers to design and implement manageable security and privacy solutions.

Another challenge in the IoT world is the continuous collection of data from the devices which is analyzed to make conclusions about the environment being monitored by the IoT devices. The data analyses are also crucial to maintaining the security and privacy of the data being collected from the devices. The massive scale of next-generation IoT systems makes the data collection, analyses, transport, and fusion of the results at the system level seem daunting.

This workshop aims to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the models and design of secure, privacy-preserving, or trust architectures, data analyses and fusion platforms, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for next generation IoT systems. We especially encourage security and privacy solutions that employ innovative machine learning techniques to tackle the issues of data volume and variety problems that are systemic in IoT platforms.

We plan to seek previously unpublished work in theoretical or experimental research, or work in-progress

EAI SPNCE 2020 3rd EAI International Conference on Security and Privacy in New Computing Environments, Lyngby, Denmark, July 27 - 28, 2020. [posted here 2/10/20]
The existing computing models and computing environments have changed immensely due to the rapid advancements in mobile computing, big data, and cyberspace-based supporting technologies such as cloud computing, Internet-of-Things (IoT), blockchain, and other large-scale computing environments. In recent years, we have witnessed an ever-growing research interest in this field, and the key reason is its essential properties that provide security, anonymity, and data integrity without any third-party organization in control of the transactions. On the other hand, its advance should be further supported with better scalability, privacy, efficiency, flexibility, availability, and higher dependability. Traditional security techniques are faced with many challenges in these new computing environments. Thus, efforts are needed to explore the security and privacy issues of the above-mentioned new environments within the cyberspace.

WTMC 2020 5th International Workshop on Traffic Measurements for Cybersecurity, Held in conjunction with the IEEE Euro S&P 2020, Genova, Italy, June 15, 2020. [posted here 12/23/19]
Current communication networks are increasingly becoming pervasive, complex, and ever-evolving due to factors like enormous growth in the number of network users, continuous appearance of network applications, increasing amount of data transferred, and diversity of user behaviors. Understanding and measuring traffic in such networks is a difficult yet vital task for network management but recently also for cybersecurity purposes. Network traffic measuring and monitoring can, for example, enable the analysis of the spreading of malicious software and its capabilities or can help to understand the nature of various network threats including those that exploit users' behavior and other user's sensitive information. On the other hand network traffic investigation can also help to assess the effectiveness of the existing countermeasures or contribute to building new, better ones. Recently, traffic measurements have been utilized in the area of economics of cybersecurity e.g. to assess ISP "badness" or to estimate the revenue of cyber criminals.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together the research accomplishments provided by the researchers from academia and industry. The other goal is to show the latest research results in the field of cybersecurity and understand how traffic measurements can influence it. We encourage prospective authors to submit related distinguished research papers on the subject of both: theoretical approaches and practical case reviews. This workshop presents some of the most relevant ongoing research in cybersecurity seen from the traffic measurements perspective. The workshop will be accessible to both non-experts interested in learning about this area and experts interesting in hearing about new research and approaches.

EdgeBlock 2020 IEEE International Symposium on Edge Computing Security and Blockchain, Co-located with IEEE INFOCOM 2020, Beijing, China, April 27, 2020. [posted here 11/11/19]
EdgeBlock 2020 is an international forum for researchers to present their latest researches and perspectives on the intersection of blockchain and edge computing (including Internet of Things ñ IoT). This is an interdisciplinary area that is of increasingly importance. For example, in our new networked society where there are a broad range of IoT devices and cyber physical systems around us, and data from these devices and systems generated at the edge of the network are been sent to some edge devices or the cloud servers for processing and storage. The utility of blockchain in a number of applications, including to secure data-in-transit and data-at-rest in IoT and cyber physical systems, has also been explored in the research community. This is not surprising due to the inherent features of blockchain, such as decentralization and immutability. Therefore, in this workshop we are interested in determining how can we leverage blockchain characteristics to establish trusted environments for IoT, social networking, cyber security and other commercial applications.
