SUBMISSION OF PAPERS : MARCH 30, 2007

LAAS : information and contact

Papers offering novel research contributions on any aspect of computer security are solicited for submission to the Twelfth European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS 2007). Organized in a series of European countries, ESORICS is confirmed as the European research event in computer security. The symposium started in 1990 and has been held on alternate years in different European countries and attracts an international audience from both the academic and industrial communities.

 From 2002 it has been held yearly. ESORICS has established itself as one of the premiere international gatherings on information assurance.

Papers may present theory, mechanisms, applications, or practical experience on all traditional or emerging topics relevant for security in computing systems. For example, the submissions might treat any innovative aspects of one or several topics listed in the following :

 security architecture and secure components (trusted computing modules, smartcards, personal computing devices, networks, information systems, applications, peer-to-peer connections, language-based security, ... )

 access control (authorization, privileges, delegation, revocation, credentials, authentication, accountability, safety analysis, ... )

 information control (data flows, information flows, inferences, covert channel analysis, ... )

 applied cryptography (protocol design, protocol verification, authentication protocols, identity management, key distribution, ... )

 tolerance and survivability (attack models, vulnerability analysis, intrusion detection, malware collection and analysis, ... )

 security management (requirements engineering, policy specification, trust evaluation, policy enforcement, ... )

 secure electronic commerce, administration, and government (digital rights management, intellectual property protection, privacy-enhancing technologies, e-voting, ... )

 formal methods in security (security models, security verification, ... )

The primary focus is on high-quality original unpublished research, case studies and implementation experiences. We encourage submissions of papers discussing industrial research and development. Proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

The symposium will be accompanied by a series of workshops. A call for workshop proposals will be published on the conference website.
