Since 1980, the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy has been the premier forum for the presentation of developments in computer security and electronic privacy, and for bringing together researchers and practitioners in the field.

Previously unpublished papers offering novel research contributions in any aspect of computer security or electronic privacy are solicited for submission to the 2005 symposium. Papers may represent advances in the theory, design, implementation, analysis, or empirical evaluation of secure systems, either for general use or for specific application domains. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Access Control and Audit
Anonymity and Pseudonymity
Authentication
Automated Security Analysis
Biometrics
Data Integrity
Database Security
Denial of Service
Distributed Systems Security
Electronic Privacy
Forensics
Information Flow
Intrusion Detection and Defense
Language-Based Security
Mobile Code and Agent Security
Network Security
Secure Hardware and Smartcards
Security Engineering
Security in Heterogeneous and Large-scale Environments

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference or workshop with proceedings. If there are any doubts on whether a paper counts as already published or not then the authors should contact the program chairs prior to submission. Papers should be in Portable Document Format (.pdf), at most 15 pages excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices (using 11-point font, single column format, and reasonable margins on 8.5"x11" or A4 paper), and at most 25 pages total. We request the submissions be in US letter paper size (not A4) if at all possible. (A good summary of how to generate PDF is available from the NSF.) Committee members are not required to read the appendices, so the paper should be intelligible without them. Papers should be submitted in a form suitable for anonymous review: remove author names and affiliations from the title page, and avoid explicit self-referencing in the text.

Please submit papers via the Web: https://conference.zurich.ihost.com/start/OAKLAND05/submit.html.

For any questions, please contact the program chairs, at oakland05-chairs@zurich.ibm.com.

Paper submissions due: November 5, 2004, 19:00 CET    (No extensions!)
(see note below on what CET means!)

Acceptance notification: January 28, 2005
Final papers due: February 25, 2005

Submissions received after the submission deadline or failing to conform to the guidelines above risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Authors are responsible for obtaining appropriate clearances; authors of accepted papers will be asked to sign IEEE copyright release forms. Where possible all further communications to authors will be via email.

5-MINUTE TALKS

A continuing feature of the symposium will be a session of 5-minute talks, where attendees can present preliminary research results or summaries of works published elsewhere. Poster presentations related to these talks are also possible. Abstracts for 5-minute talks should fit on one 8.5"x11" or A4 page, including the title and all author names and affiliations.

Please submit papers via the Web: https://conference.zurich.ihost.com/start/OAKLAND05-EXTRAS/submit.html.

5-minute abstracts due: April 1, 2005, 19:00 CET
