SSR 2020: Security Standardisation Research 2020 Virtual conference London, UK, November 30-December 1, 2020 |

The 6th Conference on Security Standards Research will be held virtually, on 30 Nov and 1 Dec 2020. The conference will be held over two half days to allow people around the globe to join the conference with less time zone concerns.
The purpose of this conference is to discuss the many research problems deriving from studies of existing standards, the development of revisions to existing standards, and the exploration of completely new areas of standardisation. Indeed, many security standards bodies are only beginning to address the issue of transparency, so that the process of selecting security techniques for standardisation can be seen to be as scientific and unbiased as possible.
This year, we would also like to encourage active law researchers in data protection and privacy to submit to the conference. This aligns with the presence of the GDPR in the EU. Submissions relating to regulation-related aspects of Covid-19 technologies, blockchain technology and the IoT are particularly welcomed. We would also love to see more standardisation efforts being open to interaction with academics. This follows in the footsteps of IETF’s design approach for TLS 1.3, which has seen substantial academic input. Similarly, several post-quantum standardisation efforts have seen interaction between academia and industry.
This conference is intended to cover the full spectrum of research on security standardisation, including, but not restricted to, work on cryptographic techniques (including ANSI, IEEE, IETF, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27, ITU-T and NIST), security management, security evaluation criteria, security policy, network security, privacy and identity management, smart cards and RFID tags, biometrics, security modules, and industry-specific security standards (e.g. those produced by the payments, telecommunications and computing industries for such things as payment protocols, mobile telephony and trusted computing).
The proceedings of SSR 2020 will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
- Full papers describing research contributions to the area of security standardisation
- Systematisation of Knowledge (SoK) papers relating to security standardisation, which integrate experience and previous research, drawing new comprehensive conclusions
- Vision papers relating to security standardisation, reporting on work in progress or concrete ideas for work that has yet to begin
