CYSARM 2021: 3rd Workshop on Cyber-Security Arms Race, November 19, 2021, Seoul, South Korea, co-located with the 28th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security.
Overview
Cybersecurity is a complex ecosystem that is based on several contradicting requirements. For this reason, it is often defined as an arms race between attackers and defenders: for example, when a new security model or algorithm is devised, it could act as a double-edged sword since it might both enhance the security posture of a system and introduce additional vulnerabilities. The goal of CYSARM workshop is to foster collaboration and discussion among cyber-security researchers and practitioners to discuss the various facets and trade-offs of cybersecurity and how new security technologies and algorithms might impact the security of existing or future security models.
Submission Guidelines
We invite the following types of papers:
Regular paper submissions should be at most 12 pages in double-column ACM format including the references and appendices (the latest sigconf template is available at: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template -- authors should not change the font or the margins of the ACM format). Regular papers should describe original work that is not previously published or concurrently submitted elsewhere.
The workshop will also consider short research paper submissions of up to 6 pages, using the same template (title for short papers must include the text "Short Paper” at the beginning). Research papers aim at fostering discussion and collaboration by presenting preliminary research activities, work in progress and/or industrial innovations. Research papers may summarize research results published elsewhere or outline new emerging ideas.
Submissions must be anonymous, and authors should refer to their previous work in the third-person. Submissions must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Submissions are to be made on EasyChair. You will be requested to upload the file of your paper (in PDF format only). Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Proceedings of the workshop will be published by ACM on a CD, available to the workshop attendees. Papers will be included in the ACM Digital Library, with a specific ISBN. Each accepted paper must be presented by an author, who will have to register by the early-bird registration deadline.
List of Topics
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Arms races and trade-offs in cyber-security (for instance: security vs privacy, security vs trust, security vs usability)
- Double-edged sword techniques in cyber-security (e.g., artificial intelligence, cryptography)
- Impact of novel technologies on cyber-security (e.g., blockchain technologies, quantum computing) and their misuse
- Intrusion detection and evasion (e.g., in malware analysis)
- Modelling attackers and defenders (e.g., simulations, game-theoretic models)
- Next-generation trustworthy computing security solutions (e.g., TPMs, TEEs, SGX) and attacks against them
- Novel attacks and defenses in mobile, IoT, cloud and fog environments
- Post-quantum cryptography and advanced cryptographic techniques (e.g., homomorphic encryption, secure multi-party computation and differential privacy) and attacks against them
