The IFIP SEC conference is the flagship event of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Technical Committee 11: Security and Privacy Protection in Information Processing Systems (TC-11).
We seek submissions from academia, industry and government presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of security, privacy protection in ICT Systems and cybersecurity of new Internet technologies. We are especially interested in AI (Artificial Intelligence) and big data analysis supporting security aspects.
Practitioners and industry representatives are encouraged to submit papers.


Paper submission
Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted to another conference or journal for consideration. The selected papers will be presented at the conference and published at the Springer series IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology.

All papers must be written in English. Submissions should be at most 14 pages long in total including references and appendices. Submissions should not be anonymised. PC members are not required to read the appendices, so the paper should be intelligible without them. Authors must follow the Springer LNCS formatting instructions.
Each paper will receive at least three reviews. At least one author of each accepted paper must register by the early registration date indicated on the conference website and present the paper. For each accepted paper, at least one full registration is necessary.
From 2021 Computers & Security, published by Elsevier, is honoured to sponsor the Best Paper Award at the annual IFIP’s SEC conference. The annual award will carry a prize to the value of USD $1,000 and an extended version of the paper will be invited for publication in the journal.
Papers have to be submitted via the Easychair.
