Types of submissions
======================
Original papers will be considered; submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any other conference or workshop that has proceedings. All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee judging its originality, significance, correctness, presentation and relevance.
Authors are also encouraged to propose position papers on practical studies and experiments, critique of existing work, emerging issues, and novel ideas under development.
Enterprises and research centers developing, implementing, or using security tools and frameworks are encouraged to propose application / tool demo.
Proposals of half-day tutorials on fundamental to advanced subjects covering practical implementation aspects of security are welcome. Proposals of special session(s) to be held in the main conference are welcome
Proposals of workshops to be held in conjunction with the conference are welcome. The theme of a workshop proposal should be closely related to a specific area of the conference topics.
