IEEE Secure Development Conference

SecDev 2019


Computer Security & Cryptography Security & Trust & Testing



IEEE​ ​Secure​ ​Development​ ​Conference (SecDev)
Sponsored​ ​by​ ​the​ ​IEEE​ ​Computer​ ​Society​ ​Technical​ ​Committee on​ ​Security​ ​and​ ​Privacy
September​ ​25–September 27,​ ​2019​ ​at​ ​the​ Hilton Tysons Corner, McLean, VA, USA
https://secdev.ieee.org/.
SecDev​ ​is​ ​a​ ​venue​ ​for​ ​presenting​ ​ideas,​ ​research,​ ​and​ ​experience​ ​about​ ​how​ ​to​ ​develop​ ​secure systems. It focuses on theory,​ ​techniques,​ ​and​ ​tools​ ​to ​“build​ ​security​ ​in” to​ ​existing​ ​and​ ​new​ ​computing​ ​systems, and does not focus on simply discovering​ ​the​ ​absence​ ​of​ ​security.​
The​ ​goal of SecDev​ ​is​ ​to encourage​ ​and​ ​disseminate​ ​ideas​ ​for​ ​secure​ ​system​ ​development​ ​among​ ​academia,​ ​industry, and​ ​government.​ ​It​ ​aims​ ​to bridge ​the​ ​gap​ ​between​ ​constructive​ ​security​ ​research​ ​and​ ​practice and​ to ​enable​ ​real-world​ ​impact​ ​of security research in​ ​the​ ​long​ ​run. ​Developers​ ​have​ ​valuable​ ​experiences​ ​and​ ​ideas​ ​that​ ​can​ ​inform​ ​academic research,​ ​and​ ​researchers​ ​have​ ​concepts,​ ​studies,​ ​and​ ​even​ ​code​ ​and​ ​tools​ ​that​ ​could​ ​benefit developers.​ ​Great​ ​SecDev​ ​contributions​ ​could​ ​come​ ​from​ ​attendees​ ​of​ ​industrial​ ​conferences like​ ​AppSec and​ ​RSA;​ ​from​ ​attendees​ ​of​ ​academic​ ​conferences​ ​like IEEE​ ​S&P,​ ​IEEE​ ​CSF,​ ​USENIX​ ​Security,​ CCS, ​NDSS, PLDI,​ ICSE, ​FSE,​ ​ISSTA,​ ​SOUPS, HOST,​ ​and​ ​others;​ ​and​ ​from newcomers.
We are soliciting posters, tool demos, and practitioner submissions for presentation at SecDev.
Posters and Tool Demos: Posters should present unpublished results about early or in-progress research projects. Demonstrations should be of publicly-available tools that facilitate secure development of software. Submissions of demos for commercial tools are permitted. All submissions should briefly describe the problem being solved, the details of the approach, and (for posters) at least some preliminary results.
Practitioner Submissions: ​​These are brief submissions ​(at most one page) from​ ​practitioners​ ​to​ ​share​ ​their​ ​practical experiences​ ​and​ ​challenges​ ​in​ ​security​ ​development. Submissions should provide novel ​perspectives​ ​and​ ​insights. Examples of suitable submissions include, but are not limited to: best practices for any aspect of the secure development life cycle; case studies or lessons learned from specific incidents or development experiences; broadly useful frameworks, architectures, or approaches relevant to secure development.
More details, including submission instructions, accepted research papers and tutorials, keynote speakers (June Andronick, Data61/CSIRO and UNSW and Colm MacCárthaigh, Amazon Web Services) are available at https://secdev.ieee.org/.
