Call for Papers
Paper Submission Information
The conference seeks submissions from academia, government, and industry presenting novel research results in all practical and theoretical aspects of computer and communications security. Papers should be related to the construction, evaluation, application, or operation of secure systems. Theoretical papers must make a convincing argument for the relevance of the results to secure systems. All topic areas related to computer and communications security are of interest and in scope. Accepted papers will be published by ACM Press in the conference proceedings. Outstanding papers will be invited for possible publication in a special issue of the ACM Transactions on Information and System Security. Further concrete instructions and submissions rules and regulations will be published in the Call for Papers which will be accessible via the conference web page.

Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be presented at the conference.
