Virtualization and cybersecurity
Virtualization is driven by dematerialization of data. Introduced gradually by the Cloud and then by the IoT (Internet of Things), virtualization is amplified by the development of Artificial Intelligence that allows new processing capabilities with the datalakes. Value-added information is now based on data with spatial and temporal materiality that is difficult to locate.
The application frameworks are multiple. The future 5G will introduce network-level virtualization (SDN – Software Defined Network) and services (NFV - Network Functions Virtualization). Autonomous systems in transport already integrate virtualization into embedded systems with strong compartmentalization and exchange requirements.
Cyber threat also evolves in these new contexts. It is important to clarify whether these contexts do not advantageously offer new opportunities to attackers and to analyse ways to prevent against the risks involved.
Thus, the adaptation of attack detection to automatic changes of virtualized systems without degradation of the service, offer becomes a real challenge. Virtualization is based on orchestration features whose robustness must be proven.
To meet these challenges, services evolve to data-centric security profiles.
C&ESAR conference proposes to analyse virtualization from the point of view of the protection and sharing of data, under cyber threat.
Program committee will appreciate submissions in the following areas:
- Cyber threats and securing nextgeneration networks: SDN / NFV, 5G
- Embedded security: tightness and compartmentalization, vulnerabilities and hypervisors versus containers
- Protection of virtualization orchestrators
- Prospects for encryption virtualization
- Virtualization of detection functions
- AI contribution to securing virtualization in protection and detection
- Virtualization platforms and usage for cybersecurity: validation problem
- Opportunities for datacentric security for virtualized environments
Process
- First phase: the proposals (3 to 6 pages) shall be submitted as a PDF file by June 28th, 2019 at the latest via https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cesar2019. Each submission shall include a title, the category of communication (analysis, protection, attacks, qualification and certification), the authors’ names and affiliation, the email address of the corresponding author, an abstract (10 lines max.), and a list of keywords. The authors will be notified of their proposal acceptance by September 3rd, 2019.
- Second phase: authors shall send the camera-ready version of their paper (8 to 16 pages) by October 4th, 2019 to contact@cesar-conference.org, cc to benoit-f.martin@intradef.gouv.fr. Authors whose papers are accepted commit to address reviewers comments in the final version.
- Instructions for the camera-ready version of the paper: PDF in A4 layout without page numbering, following the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science template:
LaTeX template: ftp://ftp.springernature.com/cs-proceeding/llncs/llncs2e.zip;
Word template: ftp://ftp.springernature.com/cs-proceeding/llncs/word/splnproc1703.zip. - Language and selection criteria: the papers can be written in French or in English. Selection criteria include clarity and educational dimension, as well as the respect of the theme of the conference and the guidelines of this call for papers. Specialized technical papers will be taken into consideration to the extent that they contribute to explaining and analyzing the state of the art or its deficiencies, rather than presenting only individual technical contributions. Accepted papers will be published in both online and printed versions in the proceedings of the conference.
