IEEE COMPUTER SECURITY FOUNDATIONS SYMPOSIUM (CSF) 2022

https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.ieee-security.org/TC/CSF2022/__;!!IBzWLUs!CyF3HCqoPM2HaAMAcYA7U8LPvi_jIx1j5pDHKFx5yvHXr_6_Zob7H-P0cNA21kCFoIY5GukUL0e32A$
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Computer Security Foundations Symposium (CSF) is an annual conference for researchers in computer security. CSF seeks papers on foundational aspects of computer security, such as formal security models, relationships between security properties and defenses, principled techniques and tools for design and rigorous analysis of security mechanisms, as well as their application to practice. While CSF welcomes submissions beyond the topics listed below, the main focus of CSF is foundational security and privacy. Papers lacking foundational aspects risk desk rejection without further evaluation of their merits; contact the PC chairs when in doubt.

CSF 2022 continues to have rolling deadlines. Starting from CSF 2020, CSF has started to invite submissions three times a year: Spring (passed), Fall, and Winter.

Spring cycle:
May 14th, 2021: paper submission deadline
July 16th, 2021: author notification

Fall cycle:
October 1st, 2021: paper submission deadline
December 7th, 2021: author notification

Winter cycle:
February 4th, 2022: paper submission deadline
April 8th, 2022: author notification

TOPICS
New results in security and privacy are welcome. We also encourage challenge/vision papers, which may describe open questions and raise fundamental concerns about security and privacy. Possible topics for all papers include, but are not limited to:

- access control
- accountability
- anonymity
- attack models
- authentication
- blockchains and smart contracts
- cloud security
- cryptography
- data provenance
- data and system integrity
- database security
- decidability and complexity
- decision theory
- distributed systems security
- electronic voting
- embedded systems security
- forensics
- formal methods and verification
- hardware-based security
- information flow control
- intrusion detection
- language-based security
- mobile security
- network security
- privacy
- security and privacy aspects of machine learning
- security and privacy for the Internet of Things
- security architecture
- security metrics
- security policies
- security protocols
- software security
- socio-technical security
- trust management
- usable security
- web security

SYSTEMATIZATION OF KNOWLEDGE PAPERS
CSF'22 solicits systematization of knowledge (SoK) papers in foundational security and privacy research. These papers systematize, re-formulate, or evaluate existing work in one established and significant research topic. Such papers must provide new insights. Survey papers without new insights are not appropriate. Papers trying to identify robust foundations of research areas still lacking them are particularly welcome. Submissions will be distinguished by the prefix “SoK:” in the title and a checkbox on the submission form.

SPECIAL SESSIONS
This year, we strongly encourage papers in three foundational areas of research we would like to promote at CSF by means of special sessions. Special sessions serve to identify selected research topics of particular interest to the community. Papers submitted to special sessions are expected to comply with the same requirements as other papers. This year, we have the following special sessions:

- MACHINE LEARNING MEETS SECURITY AND PRIVACY (Session Chair: Francesco Ranzato). Machine learning has revolutionized computer science. However, machine learning algorithms have been applied to problem domains as black boxes and offer little guarantees in terms of fairness and transparency of the results and privacy of the dataset, We invite submissions on foundational work in this area. Topics include security, privacy, and fairness issues of machine learning algorithms, reasoning techniques necessary to justify safety of its autonomous decisions, and techniques for protecting the privacy of the dataset.

- BLOCKCHAIN and SMART CONTRACT (Session Chair: Aniket Kate). Many challenges arise with the rapid development of the blockchain technology and its main application: smart contract. The need for formal foundations for the security and privacy of blockchains and smart contracts. We invite submissions on foundational work in this area. Topics include security and privacy issues, analysis and verification of existing solutions, design of new systems, broader foundational issues such as how blockchain mechanisms fit into larger distributed ecosystems and foundational security aspects of applications built on top of blockchain mechanisms, new programming languages for smart contracts, and formal analysis of smart contracts.

- CRYPTOGRAPHY (Session Chair: Ralf Kuesters). Cryptography is at the heart of many security- and privacy-critical systems. As such it is an integral part of the field of security and privacy. While modern cryptography is built on firm theoretical foundations, new applications frequently need new cryptographic solutions, new security definitions, models, and proof techniques and tools. We invite submissions in this area. Topics include, but are not limited to, the design and analysis of cryptographic protocols, new cryptographic frameworks and proof techniques, including composability as well as automated, tool-supported analysis and verification of cryptographic primitives and protocols.

These papers will be reviewed under the supervision of the special session chairs. They will be presented at the conference, and will appear in the CSF proceedings, without any distinction from the other papers.
