3rd International Conference on Science of Cyber Security

SciSec 2021


Computer Security & Cryptography Security & Trust & Testing



Welcome to SciSec 2021
The 3rd International Conference on Science of Cyber Security (SciSec’2021) will be held August 13-15, 2021 in Shanghai, China. The conference is organized by Fudan University. This new forum was initiated in 2018 and aims to catalyze the research collaborations between the relevant communities and disciplines that can work together to deepen our understanding of, and build a firm foundation for, the emerging Science of Cyber Security. Publications in this venue would distinguish themselves from others by taking or thinking from a holistic perspective about cyber security, rather than a building-block perspective. Each submission will be reviewed by at least 3 reviewers. The program committee plans to select and award a Best Paper. The post-conference proceedings will be published in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Selected papers from the ones published in the post-conference proceedings will be invited to submit to a special issue of the Information Systems Frontier journal (pending official approval), which requires substantial new materials and has its own review process.
New to SciSec’2021: There will have a poster session. The submission should be no more than two pages. Accepted posters will not appear in the post-conference proceedings, but will be invited to submit full version papers to a special issue of IJDCF. At least one author of a poster must register to attend the conference.
The conference solicits high-quality, original research papers that can justifiably help achieve the ultimate Science of Cyber Security. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Cybersecurity Dynamics
Cybersecurity Metrics and Their Measurements
First-principle Cybersecurity Modeling and Analysis (e.g., Dynamical Systems, Control-Theoretic, and Game-Theoretic Modeling)
Cybersecurity Data Analytics
Quantitative Risk Management for Cybersecurity
Big Data for Cybersecurity
Artificial Intelligence for Cybersecurity
Machine Learning for Cybersecurity
Economics Approaches for Cybersecurity
Social Sciences Approaches for Cybersecurity
Statistical Physics Approaches for Cybersecurity
Complexity Sciences Approaches for Cybersecurity
Experimental Cybersecurity
Macroscopic Cybersecurity
Statistics Approaches for Cybersecurity
Human Factors for Cybersecurity
Compositional Security
Biology-inspired Approaches for Cybersecurity
Synergetics Approaches for Cybersecurity
It is stressed that it is the authors’ responsibility to explicitly justify the relevance of a submission to cyber security and how a submission is contributing to the Science of Cyber Security.
