Since 1980, the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy has been the premier forum for the presentation of developments in computer security and electronic privacy, and for bringing together researchers and practitioners in the field.

Previously unpublished papers offering novel research contributions in any aspect of computer security or electronic privacy are solicited for submission to the 2008 symposium. Papers may represent advances in the theory, design, implementation, analysis, or empirical evaluation of secure systems, either for general use or for specific application domains. The Symposium is also open to the submission of co-located half-day or one-day workshops. See below for these and other program elements.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Access control and audit
Anonymity and pseudonymity
Application-level security
Biometrics
Cryptographic protocols
Database security
Denial of service
Distributed systems security
Formal methods for security
Information flow
Intrusion detection and prevention
Language-based security
Malicious code prevention
Network security
Operating system security
Peer-to-peer security
Privacy
Risk analysis
Secure hardware and smartcards
Security engineering
Security policy
User authentication
