**** OVERVIEW ****
WISA is one of the main security research venues hosted by the Korea Institute of Information
Security and Cryptology (KIISC) and sponsored by Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT), and co-sponsored by the Electronics & Telecommunications Research Institute
(ETRI), the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA), and the National Security Research
Institute (NSR).

The primary focus of WISA 2022 will be on systems and network security including
all other technical and practical aspects of security applications.
This year, in particular, we will be inviting participations from researchers working on
AI, system security, and cybersecurity who are keen on bringing the latest open security challenges.

**** The areas of interest include, but are not limited to: ****
- Analysis of network and security protocols
- Anonymity and censorship-resistant technologies
- Applications of cryptographic techniques
- Authentication and authorization
- Automated tools for source code/binary analysis
- Automobile security
- Botnet defense
- Blockchain security
- Critical infrastructure security
- Denial-of-service attacks and countermeasures
- Digital Forensics
- Embedded systems security
- Exploit techniques and automation
- Hardware and physical security
- HCI security and privacy
- Intrusion detection and prevention
- Malware analysis
- Mobile/wireless/cellular system security
- Network-based attacks
- Network infrastructure security
- Operating system security
- Practical cryptanalysis (hardware, DRM, etc.)
- Security policy
- Side channel attacks and countermeasures
- Storage and file systems security
- Techniques for developing secure systems
- Trustworthy computing
- Trusted execution environments (Intel SGX, ARM Trustzone, etc.)
- Unmanned System Security for Vehicle/Drone/Ship Systems
- Vulnerability research
- Web security
