EAI SecureComm 2021 : 17th EAI International Conference on Security and Privacy in Communication Networks

Topics

• Network security and privacy (for all types of networks such as wired, wireless, mobile, hybrid, sensor, vehicular, satellite, 5G, 6G, ad hoc, peer-to-peer, and software-defined networks)
• Attacks on telecommunications and networking (e.g., malware, botnets, DoS, MitM, relay attacks, side channel attacks, phishing/pharming, DNS poisoning/hijacking, address spoofing, cybersquatting)
• Security protocols at all network layers and for different applications (e.g., for secure routing, naming/addressing, network management, remote authentication and attestation)
• Physical layer security (e.g., jamming, GPS spoofing)
• Systems security with a strong secure communication and networking element (e.g., security in cloud, edge and fog computing, IoT, RFID, cyber-physical sysytems, teleconferencing)
• Network intrusion detection and prevention, firewalls, packet filters
• Web and mobile security & privacy
• Anonymous communications and other forms of privacy-enhancing or privacy-aware communications (e.g., Tor, darknet)
• Distributed ledger technologies (blockchain and cryptocurrencies)
• Internet censorship and countermeasures
• Resilience of computer networks and critical infrastructures
• Visualisation of secure communications and networking
• Cyber (both offensive and defensive) deception related to secure communications and networking (e.g., honeypots / honeytokens, cyber fraud)
• False information online including mis-, dis- and mal-information
• Moving target defence
• Information hiding (steganography, steganalysis, and digital watermarking)
• Privacy-preserving computing in secure communication and networking
• Cryptographic systems for secure communications and networking (e.g., key management, multi-party computing, broadcast encryption, sectre sharing schemes)
• Quantum key distribution and other quantum-based secure communications
• Network, internet and cloud forensics
• Cyber threat intelligence and cyber incident responses
• Cybercrime investigation and attribution
• Data leakage/loss prevention/protection (DLP)
• Secure communication and networking applications (e.g., industry 4.0, energy, smart cities, transportation, water, logistics, waste)
• Security and privacy of contact tracing and other COVID-19 related digital interventions with a core element on telecommunications or networking
• Socio-technical aspects of secure communications and networking (e.g., usability, human behaviours, legal issues, cybercrime, economics)
