TOPICS OF INTEREST INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO

• Surveys of scientific methodology in information security.
• Fundamentals for a `science of security’.
• Discussion of links/similarities between scientific fundamentals of information security and other research domains, such as Economics, Psychology, Biology, Physics or Chemistry (but no papers specific to non-security domains).
• Evaluation and extension of existing taxonomies and proposals for new taxonomies in cyber security.
• Data collection and measurement.
• Work that unifies terminological inconsistencies in cyber security.
• Work that reproduces existing experiments, i.e. that confirms/disproves experimental results or that shows how replication platforms can be realized in information security.
• Work that discusses the underlying criteria for the design and evaluation for cyber security research testbeds.
• Evaluation of the novelty of research contributions and handling of scientific re-inventions.
• Methodology in network security, cryptography, information hiding, IoT security, system security, digital forensics, and other sub-disciplines of information security.
• Methodology for privacy, information sharing and collaborative work in the context of information security.
• “Open science” for cyber security.
• History of information security.
• Scientometric analyses, e.g. citation behavior, in information security.
• Policy issues that influence cyber security research
