Auckland, New Zealand | Friday May 7 2021 (GMT Thursday May 6) http://www.usablesecurity.net/USEC/usec21/ Introduction The Workshop on Usable Security (USEC) serves as an Asian forum for research and discussion in the area of human factors in security and privacy. It is the aim of USEC to contribute to an increase of the scientific quality of research in human factors in security and privacy. To this end, we encourage replication studies to validate previous research findings. Papers in these categories should be clearly marked as such and will not be judged against regular submissions on novelty. Rather, they will be judged based on scientific quality and value to the community. We also encourage reports of faded experiments, since their publication will serve to highlight the lessons learned and prevent others falling into the same traps. Topics We invite submissions from academia, government, and industry presenting novel research on all aspects of information security and privacy including, but not limited to, the following area; - innovative security or privacy functionality and design - new applications of existing models or technology - field studies of security or privacy technology - usability evaluations of new or existing security or privacy features - security testing of new or existing usability features - longitudinal studies of deployed security or privacy features - studies of administrators or developers and support for security and privacy - psychological, sociological, and economic aspects of security and privacy - the impact of organizational policy or procurement decisions - methodologies for usable security and privacy research - lessons learned from the deployment and use of usable privacy and security features - reports of replicating previously published studies and experiments - reports of failed usable privacy/security studies or experiments, with the focus on the lessons learned from such experience Important Dates Submission Deadline: 15 Feb 2021 (Extended.

Ongoing news reports regarding global surveillance programs, massive personal data breaches in corporate databases, and notorious examples of personal tragedies due to privacy violations have intensified societal demands for privacy-friendly systems. In response, current legislative and standardization processes worldwide aim to strengthen individual?s privacy by introducing legal, organizational and technical frameworks that personal data collectors and processors must follow. However, in practice, these initiatives alone are not enough to guarantee that organizations and software developers will be able to identify and adopt appropriate privacy engineering techniques in their daily practices. It is also difficult to systematically evaluate whether the systems developed comply with legal frameworks, provide necessary technical assurances, and fulfill users? privacy requirements. It is evident that research is needed in developing techniques and tools that can aid the translation of legal and normative concepts, as well as user expectations into systems requirements. Furthermore, methods that can support organizations and engineers in developing systems that address these requirements are of increasing value. In this context, privacy engineering research is emerging as an important topic. Engineers are increasingly expected to build and maintain privacy-preserving and data-protection compliant systems in domains such as health, energy, transportation, social computing, law enforcement, public services; based on different infrastructures such as cloud, grid, or mobile. While there is a consensus on the benefits of an engineering approach to privacy, concrete proposals for models, methods, techniques and tools that support engineers and organizations in this endeavor are few and in need of immediate attention. To cover this gap, the topics of the International Workshop on Privacy Engineering (IWPE'21) focus on all the aspects of privacy engineering, ranging from its theoretical foundations, engineering approaches, and support infrastructures, to its practical application in projects of different scale. Specifically, we are seeking the following kinds of papers: (1) technical papers that illustrate the engineering or application of a novel formalism, method or other research finding (e.g., a privacy enhancing protocol) with preliminary evaluation; (2) experience and practice papers that describe a case study, challenge or lessons learned from in a specific domain; (3) early evaluations of methods, tools and other infrastructure that support privacy-related tasks; (4) interdisciplinary studies or critical reviews of existing privacy engineering concepts, methods, tools and frameworks; (5) vision papers that take a clear position informed by evidence based on a thorough literature review. IWPE?21 welcomes papers that focus on novel solutions on the recent developments in the general area of privacy engineering. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: -Integrating law and policy compliance into the development process -Privacy impact assessment during software development -Privacy risk management models -Privacy breach recovery Methods -Technical standards, heuristics and best practices for privacy engineering -Privacy engineering in technical standards -Privacy requirements elicitation and analysis methods -User privacy and data protection requirements -Management of privacy requirements with other system requirements -Privacy engineering strategies and design patterns -Privacy-preserving architectures -Privacy engineering and databases, services, and the cloud -Privacy engineering in networks -Engineering techniques for fairness, transparency, and privacy -Engineering privacy in AI and ML -Privacy engineering in the context of interaction design and usability -Privacy testing and evaluation methods -Validation and verification of privacy requirements -Privacy Engineering and design -Engineering Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) -Integration of PETs into systems -Models and approaches for the verification of privacy properties -Tools and formal languages supporting privacy engineering -Teaching and training privacy engineering -Adaptations of privacy engineering into specific software development processes -Pilots and real-world applications -Evaluation of privacy engineering methods, technologies and tools -Privacy engineering and accountability -Privacy engineering and business processes -Privacy engineering and manageability of data in (large) enterprises -Organizational, legal, political and economic aspects of privacy engineering This topic list is not meant to be exhaustive; since IWPE'21 is interested in all aspects of privacy engineering. ************************************************************ PAPER FORMAT & SUBMISSION We solicit unpublished short position papers (up to 4 pages) and long papers reporting technical, research or industry experience (up to 8 pages) on all dimensions of the privacy engineering domain. Each paper, written in English, must follow IEEE Proceedings format. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will attend the workshop to present the paper. All papers must be submitted via EasyChair at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwpe21 IWPE offers the choice of archival and non-archival paper submissions. The non-archival option is offered to avoid precluding future submissions to area-specific venues. Accepted archival submissions will be published in IEEE eXplore, which is indexed by EI Engineering Index, ISI Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI-S), Scopus, etc. ************************************************************ If you have any questions regarding IWPE'21, please contact iwpe21 at easychair.org IWPE?21 Organizing Committee Jose M. del Alamo Isabel Wagner Kim Wuyts Isabel Barber?

VizSec brings together researchers and practitioners from academia, government, and industry to address the needs of the cybersecurity community through new and insightful visualization and analysis techniques. VizSec provides an excellent venue for fostering greater exchange and new collaborations on a broad range of security- and privacy-related topics. VizSec will take place on October 27, 2021, in conjunction with the 2021 IEEE VIS conference , giving VizSec authors and attendees enhanced access to IEEE VIS. VizSec program will be presented in an online format with virtual presentations. The purpose of VizSec is to explore effective and scalable visual interfaces for security domains such as network security, computer forensics, reverse engineering, insider threat detection, cryptography, privacy, user-assisted attacks prevention, compliance management, wireless security, secure coding, penetration testing, and other related research topics. We are soliciting Technical (Full), Short, and Position Papers. Technical Papers Full papers describing novel contributions in security visualization are solicited. Papers may present techniques, applications, theory, analysis, experiments, or evaluations. We encourage the submission of papers on technologies and methods that promise to improve cyber security practices, including, but not limited to: - Situation awareness and/or understanding - Incident handling including triage, exploration, correlation, and response - Computer forensics - Machine learning & explainable AI for cybersecurity - Adversarial machine learning visualization - Adversarial visualization - Visual analytics for cybersecurity - Data protection & privacy - Blockchain performance & security - Cybersecurity in critical infrastructure - Collaborative visualization for cybersecurity & provenance - Recording and reporting results of investigations - Assisting proactive security configuration and deployment - Reverse engineering and malware analysis - Vulnerability management - Multiple data source analysis - Analyzing information requirements for computer network defense - Evaluation and/or user testing of VizSec systems - Criteria for assessing the effectiveness of cyber security visualizations (whether from a security goal perspective or a human factors perspective) - Modeling system and network behavior - Modeling attacker and defender behavior - Studying risk and impact of cyber attacks - Predicting future attacks or targets - Security metrics - Software security - Mobile application security - Social networking privacy and security - Training & education Submissions including tests and evaluations of the proposed tools and techniques are also particularly desirable. If possible, making the data used for the tests available will also be considered positively. If you do not have real-world data to demonstrate your visualization, you may be interested in looking at the VizSec dataset links . Previous VizSec papers may be found on the VizSec Papers Browser and on IEEE Xplore. Short Papers Short papers describing initial research results, concise research contributions or incremental work on the above topics, even including practical applications of security visualization, are solicited. We encourage the submission of papers discussing the introduction of cyber security visualizations into operational context, including, but not limited to: - Cases where visualization made positive contributions towards meeting operational needs - Gaps or negative outcomes from visualization deployments - Situations where visualization was not utilized, but could have had a positive impact - Lessons learned from operational engagements - Insights gained from the transition process Cyber security practitioners from industry, as well as the research community, are encouraged to submit case studies. Position Papers Position papers focus on topics needing or calling for discussion or reconsideration of forgotten topics relevant for the VizSec community. They should report a clear position on the target topic and should also suggest a proposal or actions regarding the target topic. They should stimulate imaginative and hypothesis-driven research. In particular, we encourage submissions both from researchers inside the visualization community and outside, such as researchers and practitioners from pure cybersecurity domains who currently do not broadly employ visualization in their work. Posters Poster submissions may showcase late-breaking results, work in progress, preliminary results, or visual representations relevant to the VizSec community. In line with the full conference, the presentation of posters will take place online. There will be 1-2 dedicated poster sessions in which poster authors can virtually meet and discuss their work with conference participants. An additional web presence of posters will replace the traditional physical installation of poster boards. More concrete details will follow soon. Awards There will be an award for the best full paper from the accepted program. This award will be given to the paper judged to have the highest overall quality as determined by the program committee. Key elements of the selection process include whether papers include evaluation, repeatable results, and open-source data or software. Authors of the best paper will be invited for submission to Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics. There will also be an award for Best Poster. This award will recognize authors? efforts to clearly present their work to the audience. The award will be determined by anonymous judges and given to recipients at the end of the conference. Submissions The VizSec 2021 Proceedings will be published by IEEE. Submissions must be formatted using the IEEE VGTC conference proceedings template that can be found at: https://tc.computer.org/vgtc/publications/conference/ VizSec full papers are limited to 9 pages of content plus an additional 2 pages of references. Papers may be shorter than this but must make a similar contribution to a longer paper. Reviewers are not required to read the appendices or any pages past the maximum. Short papers should be at most 4 pages plus 1 page of references. Position papers may be up to 4 total pages including references. Posters should be 2 page abstracts. Presenters are also encouraged to submit an accompanying video or other supplementary materials by following the IEEE VIS formatting guidelines. Submissions not meeting these guidelines will be rejected without consideration of their merit. Reviews are single-blind, so authors may include names and affiliations in their submissions. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be presented at the conference. VizSec uses the Precision Conference System (PCS) to handle their paper and poster submissions and reviewing processes. Important Dates All deadlines are 5:00 PM PST.

STAST 2021 11th International Workshop on Socio-Technical Aspects in SecuriTy https://stast.uni.lu Easychair CfP: https://easychair.org/cfp/STAST2021 Affiliated with the 26th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS) 2021 https://esorics2021.athene-center.de STAST 2021 will be held as a virtual event on October 07 or 08, 2021. *** CONCEPT Successful attacks on information systems often exploit not only IT systems and networks, but also the human element in the system. It is critical to limit technical vulnerabilities and insecure user behavior, but also poorly designed user interfaces, and unclear or unrealistic security policies. To improve the security of systems, technology and policies must consider the characteristics of the users, where research in social sciences and usable security has demonstrated that insecure behavior can be justified from cognitive, emotional, and social perspectives. When there is a good 'fit' of technology to users, workable security policies and targeted behavioral support can augment technical security. Finding the right balance between technical and social security measures remains largely unexplored, which motivates the need for the STAST workshop. Currently, different security communities (theoretical security, systems security, usable security, and security management) rarely work together. There remains a need for focused, holistic research in socio-technical security, and the respective communities tend to offload on each other parts of problems that they consider to be out of scope, an attitude that results in deficient or unsuitable security solutions. *** GOALS The workshop intends to stimulate an exchange of ideas and experiences on how to design systems that are secure in the real world where they interact with users of varying expertise and diverse needs. The workshop aims at bringing together experts in various areas of computer security and in social and behavioral sciences. *** WORKSHOP TOPICS Contributions should focus on the interplay of technical, organizational and human factors in achieving or breaking security, privacy, and trust, for example: - Usability and user experience - Models of user behaviour and user interactions with technology - Perceptions of related risks, as well as their influence on humans - Social engineering, persuasion, and other deception techniques - Requirements for socio-technical systems - Decision making in/for socio-technical systems - Feasibility of policies from the socio-technical perspective - Social factors in organizations' policies and processes - Interplay of law, ethics and politics with security and privacy measures - Balance between technical measures and social strategies - Threat models that combine technical and human-centered strategies - Socio-technical analysis of incidents and vulnerabilities - Studies of real-world vulnerabilities/incidents from a socio-technical perspective - Lessons from design and deployment of mechanisms and policies - Strategies and guidelines for analysis of intelligence and data from a socio-technical perspective - Methodologies and methodological reflections in pursuit of these goals *** TYPE OF CONTRIBUTIONS All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome: - Full Papers, discussing original research, answering well-defined research questions, and presenting full and stable results. - Position Papers, original contributions discussing existing challenges and introducing and motivating new research problems. - Work in Progress, describing original but unfinished research, which is nevertheless based on solid research questions or hypothesis soundly argued be innovative compared with the state of the art. We welcome qualitative and quantitative research approaches from academia and industry. We welcome meta-analytic as well as replication studies and consider them as original research eligible for full papers. We welcome negative or null results with sound methodology. *** PROCEEDINGS As in previous years, we aim to publish accepted papers as post-proceedings with Springer in their Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. *** INVITED SPEAKER TBA *** TIMELINE - Abstract submission: 04 July 2021 (AoE) - Full Paper Submission: 11 July 2021 (AoE) - Notification: 15 August 2021 (AoE) - Camera Ready for pre-proceedings: 06 September 2021 (AoE) - Camera Ready for post-proceedings: 14 October 2021 (AoE) *** WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS - Giampaolo Bella (University of Catania) - Gabriele Lenzini (University of Luxembourg) *** PROGRAMME CHAIRS - Simon Parkin (Delft University of Technology) - Luca Vigan?

Adventures in Authentication Workshop (WAY)- collocated with SOUPS Conference 2021. *About the Workshop:* The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers, practitioners, and industry to share experiences, concerns, and ideas about known and new authentication techniques. We are interested in discussing methods of evaluating the impact and usability of various authentication techniques, and ideas about novel authentication techniques that are secure, robust, and usable. WAY will also accept short reports from industry and public entities on authentication. Authentication, or the act of proving that someone is who they claim to be, is a cornerstone of security. The importance of authentication continues to grow as users must prove their identity to maintain a continuous presence with a wide variety of computing devices and services. The goal of this workshop is to explore these and related topics across a broad range of contexts, including enterprise systems, personal systems, and especially mobile and embedded systems (such as healthcare, smart home, IoT, and wearable systems). This workshop provides an informal and interdisciplinary setting at the intersection of security, psychological, and behavioral science. Workshop papers and presentations will be made available on the conference web page but are considered non-archival. WAY fosters a supportive and constructive environment for sharing ideas and giving feedback. We welcome submissions about new and ongoing work, as well as completed projects. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Human factors and their impact on authentication systems - Surveys and comparisons of known authentication techniques - Novel metrics for authentication strength - Empirical evaluations of authentication techniques (including studies with negative results) - Lessons learned from failed studies of authentication systems - New authentication techniques that target emerging computing environments such as mobile and embedded systems - Existing authentication techniques applied in new environments or usage contexts - Novel approaches to the design and evaluation of authentication systems - Replications of previously published studies of authentication techniques - Organizational policy, procurement decisions, and deployment aspects of authentication systems - Studies targeting specific user groups of authentication systems (including administrators and developers) Submission Instructions Submissions should be formatted using the SOUPS '21 submission template (available for MS Word or LaTeX ) and submitted as a PDF. Submissions *should be fully anonymized.* Submissions should be made via the WAY 2021 HotCRP instance: https://way2021.usenix.hotcrp.com. Full Papers We are soliciting 4-5 page submissions (including references) on topics relating to authentication. Accepted submissions will be posted to the WAY workshop website (wayworkshop.org). We encourage participants to also make their workshop presentations available on the website. These submissions will not be considered "published" work, and as such, should not preclude publication elsewhere. Industry Reports We are looking for contributions from industry or public entities in the following form: a 1-2 pages report together with a slide deck for a presentation of approx. 15 minutes. An example can be found in the paper archive. We do not want product pitches or slides from marketing/sales representatives. All submissions will be reviewed, and authors agree to revise their slides as needed. Sincerely, WAY 2021 Publicity Co-Chairs Sanchari Das, Megan Barker. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

URL: From prajivan at uw.edu Fri Nov 19 19:57:06 2021 From: prajivan at uw.edu (prajivan) Date: Sat, 20 Nov 2021 00:57:06 +0000 Subject: [Soups-announce] Call for Papers: Workshop on Usable Security and Privacy (USEC) 2022 Message-ID: Dear Colleagues, The Workshop on Usable Security and Privacy (USEC) serves as an international forum for research and discussion in the area of human factors in security and privacy. USEC is a workshop with proceedings. USEC 2022 will be held on March 3, 2022 in conjunction with NDSS at the Catamaran Resort Hotel & Spa in San Diego, California. It is the aim of USEC to contribute to an increase of the scientific quality of research in human factors in security and privacy. To this end, we encourage replication studies to validate previous research findings. Papers in these categories should be clearly marked as such and will not be judged against regular submissions on novelty. Rather, they will be judged based on scientific quality and value to the community. We also encourage reports of faded experiments. They must highlight the lessons learned and provide recommendations on how to avoid falling into the same traps. Important Dates * Submission deadline: December 3 AoE (4 Dec 2021 6:59:59am EST / 4 Dec 2021 3:59:59am PST) * Decision notification: January 24, 2022 Call for Papers We invite submissions from academia, government, and industry presenting novel research on all aspects of human-centric security and privacy. We welcome a variety of research methods, including empirical research and design research. Topics include, but are not limited to: * innovative security or privacy functionality and design * new applications of existing models or technology * usability evaluations of new or existing security or privacy features and lessons learned * security testing of new or existing usability features * psychological, sociological, and economic aspects of security and privacy * research and design methodologies for human-centric security and privacy research * reports of replicating previously published studies and experiments * reports of failed usable privacy/security studies or experiments, with the focus on the lessons learned from such experience * inclusive security and privacy * ethics in human-centric security and privacy research All submissions must clearly relate to the human aspects of security or privacy. Papers on security or privacy that do not address usability or human factors will not be considered. Likewise, papers on usability or human factors that do not address security or privacy will not be considered. The determination of whether a paper is within scope will be solely at the discretion of the program committee chairs. For accepted papers, at least one author must attend USEC 2022 (either physically or virtually). Submission Instructions: * Submission Site: https://usec22.hotcrp.com/ All submissions must be original work; authors must clearly document any overlap with previously published or simultaneously submitted papers from any of the authors. All papers should be written in English. Format: The text must be in Times font, 10-point or larger, with 11-point or larger line spacing. Use the NDSS USEC format found at: https://www.ndss-symposium.org/ndss2021/templates/ Paper length: We are looking for submissions of 5 to 10 pages, excluding references and supplementary materials. We encourage authors to submit papers of appropriate length for the research contribution. If your research contribution only requires 5-7 pages, please only submit 5-7 pages (plus references). Shorter papers with be reviewed like any other paper and not penalized. Papers shorter than 5 pages or longer than 10 pages(excluding references) will not be considered. Anonymous Submission: Reviewing will be double blind. Author names and affiliations should not appear in the paper. The authors should make a reasonable effort not to reveal their identities or institutional affiliation in the text, figures, photos, links, or other data that is contained in the paper. Authors? prior work should be preferably referred to in the third person; if this is not feasible, the references should be blinded. Submissions that violate these requirements will be rejected without review. The list of authors cannot be changed after the acceptance decision is made unless approved by the Program Chairs. Conflict of Interest: Authors are required to indicate any conflict of interest and its nature. Advisors and those that they are advising, as well as authors and PC members with an institutional relationship are considered to share a conflict of interest. Professional collaborations (irrespective of whether they resulted in publication or funding) that occurred in the past 2 years and close personal relationships equally constitute a conflict of interest. PC members, including chairs, that have a conflict of interest with a paper, will be entirely excluded from the evaluation of that paper. ------------------ Best regards, Katharina Krombholz, Prashanth Rajivan Program co-chairs 2022 USEC -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
