EAI SECURECOMM 2022 will be held as a fully-fledged online conference.


Scope

SecureComm is a conference in EAI core conference portfolio focusing on cybersecurity. The aim of SecureComm is to bring together researchers and practitioners in academic, industry, and government in security, networking, communication and other related communities to explore important research directions in the field. The 18th SecureComm conference seeks submissions of high-quality research contributions. Topics of interest encompass ALL areas of secure communications and networking. Topics in less related areas will be considered if a clear connection to secure communication and networking is demonstrated. Topics addressing interdisciplinary challenges in different application domains are welcome.

Topics

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

- Security and privacy in computer networks (e.g., wired, wireless, mobile, hybrid, sensor, vehicular, satellite, 5G, 6G, ad hoc, peer-to-peer, and software-defined networks)
- Security and privacy in systems with a strong secure communication and networking element (e.g., security in cloud, IoT, cyber-physical systems, edge and fog computing, and teleconferencing)
- Physical layer security (e.g., jamming, GPS spoofing)
- Web and mobile security and privacy
- Security protocols at all network layers and for different applications (e.g., for secure routing, naming/addressing, network management, remote authentication and attestation)
- Network attacks (e.g., DDoS, MitM, malware, botnets, side-channel attacks, phishing/pharming, cybersquatting) and defenses (e.g., network intrusion detection and prevention, firewalls, packet filters, moving target defence)
- Network, internet and cloud forensics
- Cybercrime investigation and attribution
- Cyber threat intelligence and cyber incident responses
- Anonymous and privacy-aware communications (e.g., Tor, darknet)
- Internet censorship and circumvention
- Secure communication and networking applications (e.g., industry 4.0, energy, transportation, smart cities)
- Quantum key distribution and other quantum-based secure communications
- Visualization of secure communications and networking
- Privacy-preserving computing in secure communication and networking (e.g., privacy-preserving machine learning)
- Distributed ledger technologies (e.g., blockchain and cryptocurrencies)
- Resilience of computer networks and critical infrastructures
- Defending false information online (e.g., mis-, dis- and mal-information)
- Socio-technical aspects of secure communications and networking (e.g., usability, human behaviours, legal issues, cybercrime, economics)
