The 15th International Conference on

Knowledge and Systems Engineering (KSE 2023)

Hanoi, Vietnam, October 18-20, 2023

Special Session:

Cyber Security & Cryptography

The number and scale of cyberattacks in recent years have increased rapidly due to several factors, including the increasing normalcy of cyber operations within international politics, the growing reliance of industry on digital infrastructure, and the difficulties in maintaining adequate cybersecurity workforces. This session seeks novel research contributions and brings together researchers and practitioners specializing in any aspect of cyber security to discuss emerging methods and techniques for understanding, designing and building more secure systems and networks. Topics of interest include:

• Applied machine learning in security and privacy
• Adversarial machine learning
• Privacy-preserving machine learning
• Attackers and cybercrime operators
• Authentication, access control, and authorization
• Applied formal methods and verification
• Big data security and privacy
• Blockchains and distributed ledger security
• Cloud computing security
• Cyber threat modeling and analysis
• Cryptography, cryptanalysis, applied cryptography, and post-quantum
  cryptography
• Steganography and steganalysis
• Empirical evaluation and measurement of secure systems
• Intrusion and anomaly detection
• Incident responses, SIEM, SOC
• Malware and binary analysis
• Novel attack vectors in cyber security
• Network, system, protocol, and web security
• Software security
• Hardware security
• Operating systems security
• Privacy-enhancing technologies, anonymity, and censorship
• Security and privacy policies
• Security and privacy metrics
• Security foundations and architectures
• Usable security and privacy
• Wireless and mobile security and privacy
• Healthcare security and privacy
• Hate, harassment, and online abuse
• Cyber security in financial institutions and financial services
• Economics of security and privacy.
• Secure Architecture/Engineering
• Quantum computing
• Internet of things

The list above is not meant to be exhaustive. However, irrelevant papers that do not meet any topic of cyber security might be desk-rejected without a full review.

Submission guideline

Submitted papers must present original work, which has not been published elsewhere and is not under submission at any other venue. Papers must be written in English, with a maximum length of 8 pages for the main body and unlimited pages for Appendix and references. Submitted papers must be a PDF, formatted in compliance with the IEEE standard. A LaTeX template can be found here https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html. All submissions will be peer-reviewed for originality and scientific quality, however, violating any of the requirements set above might result in papers being rejected without a full review. Accepted papers will be presented at the main conference and included in the proceedings published by IEEE. At least one author of accepted papers is expected to attend the conference in person to present the work.
