Track Description

We solicit original research and experience papers on a broad range of topics related to privacy and cybersecurity in modern digital ecosystems. The goal is to represent both academic research and industrial developments, fostering an exchange of ideas that advance the state of the art.

Submissions may address the full lifecycle of secure and privacy-preserving systems, including theoretical foundations, formal security proofs, algorithm and protocol design, practical implementations, system integration, performance evaluation, and usability studies. Contributions should advance the state of the art in cryptography, cybersecurity, and privacy across diverse application domains.

We encourage contributions that address:

• Formal foundations underpinning secure architectures and privacy-preserving mechanisms.
• Techniques and tools that improve scalability and robustness of security solutions for practical deployment.
• Innovative applications of cryptographic techniques to secure AI, IoT, Blockchain, and e-Government systems.
• Empirical studies and experiences demonstrating how security and privacy can be effectively integrated into real-world systems.

This topic list is not exhaustive. The track is interested in all aspects of computer security and privacy. Papers without a clear application to security or privacy will be considered out of scope and may be rejected without full review.

Topics of Interest

• Privacy and Data Protection — Privacy-preserving machine learning, federated learning, differential privacy, anonymization techniques.
• Cryptographic Foundations — Homomorphic encryption, secure multi-party computation, zero-knowledge proofs, verifiable computation, post-quantum cryptography.
• Cybersecurity in Emerging Technologies — Security architectures for IoT and edge computing, Blockchain security, smart contract verification.
• AI and Security — AI-driven threat detection, anomaly analysis, adversarial attacks and defenses, explainable AI in secure environments.
• Governance and Compliance — GDPR and global data protection frameworks, security models for e-Government and digital identity.
• Trust and Transparency — Decentralized identity, privacy-enhancing technologies, trust frameworks for collaborative systems.
