17th EAI International Conference on Security and Privacy in Communication Networks (Springer, Scopus, ISI, Ei, more)

EAI SecureComm 2021


Computer Security & Cryptography Security & Trust & Testing



EAI is actively monitoring the COVID-19 situation to ensure the safety, comfort and quality of experience for attendees and a successful course of the event.
Scope
SecureComm 2021 is calling for high-quality research contributions in ALL areas of secure communications and networking, including those addressing interdisciplinary challenges in different application domains. Topics in less related areas will be considered only if a clear connection to secure communication/networking is demonstrated in the title or the abstract.
***
Topics
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
- Network security and privacy (for all types of networks such as wired, wireless, mobile, hybrid, sensor, vehicular, satellite, 5G, 6G, ad hoc, peer-to-peer, and software-defined networks)
- Attacks on telecommunications and networking (e.g., malware, botnets, DoS, MitM, relay attacks, side channel attacks, phishing/pharming, DNS poisoning/hijacking, address spoofing, cybersquatting)
- Security protocols at all network layers and for different applications (e.g., for secure routing, naming/addressing, network management, remote authentication and attestation)
- Physical layer security (e.g., jamming, GPS spoofing)
- Systems security with a strong secure communication and networking element (e.g., security in cloud, edge and fog computing, IoT, RFID, cyber-physical sysytems, teleconferencing)
- Network intrusion detection and prevention, firewalls, packet filters
- Web and mobile security & privacy
- Anonymous communications and other forms of privacy-enhancing or privacy-aware communications (e.g., Tor, darknet)
- Distributed ledger technologies (blockchain and cryptocurrencies)
- Internet censorship and countermeasures
- Resilience of computer networks and critical infrastructures
- Visualisation of secure communications and networking
- Cyber (both offensive and defensive) deception related to secure communications and networking (e.g., honeypots / honeytokens, cyber fraud)
- False information online including mis-, dis- and mal-information
- Moving target defence
- Information hiding (steganography, steganalysis, and digital watermarking)
- Privacy-preserving computing in secure communication and networking
- Cryptographic systems for secure communications and networking (e.g., key management, multi-party computing, broadcast encryption, sectre sharing schemes)
- Quantum key distribution and other quantum-based secure communications
- Network, internet and cloud forensics
- Cyber threat intelligence and cyber incident responses
- Cybercrime investigation and attribution
- Data leakage/loss prevention/protection (DLP)
- Secure communication and networking applications (e.g., industry 4.0, energy, smart cities, transportation, water, logistics, waste)
- Security and privacy of contact tracing and other COVID-19 related digital interventions with a core element on telecommunications or networking
- Socio-technical aspects of secure communications and networking (e.g., usability, human behaviours, legal issues, cybercrime, economics)
