OVERVIEW
-------------------------------------
During the past two decades, mobile internet technologies have been dramatically growing
while leading to a paradigm shift in our life. Despite their revolution, mobile internet technologies open doors to various security threats, which should be addressed to keep mobile Internet environments to be secure and trust.

Even worse, the latest technologies (e.g., 6G Networks, Quantum Computing, Generative AI, and so forth) continuously have introduced new security challenges. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to study mobile internet security.

The purpose of MobiSec 2026 is to bring together the academic and industry working on different aspects, exchange ideas, and explore new research directions for addressing the challenges in mobile internet security and application of cyber security.

MobiSec 2026 also aims to publish high quality papers, which are closely related to various theories and practical applications in mobility management and cyber security to highlight the state-of-art research. In spite of focusing on security aspects, this conference welcomes papers which are related to mobile internet technologies and emerging issues in cyber space.

We expect that MobiSec 2026 will be a trigger for further research and technology improvements related to this important subject.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
-----------------------
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.
The contributions to MobiSec 2026 must be submitted to the conference submission system:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mobisec2026

(1) Regular Paper

Authors are invited to submit original papers: they must not substantially duplicate work
that any of the authors have published elsewhere or have submitted in parallel to
any other conferences that have proceedings. An accepted paper must be registered before
the registration deadline and presented at the conference. Failure to register before
the deadline will result in automatic withdrawal of the paper from the conference
proceedings and the program.

- The submission must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references.
- The submission file is in PDF or PS file format produced via
@the Easychair Latex Class file (US letter size) [Available at https://easychair.org/publications/easychair.zip]
@the Easychair Microsoft Word file [Available at https://easychair.org/publications/easychair.docx]
- The length of the submission should be at least 5 pages long, not exceed 20 pages in the Easychair style,
excluding the bibliography and clearly marked appendices.
- Submission of a paper implies that should the paper be accepted,
at least one of the authors will register and present the paper at the conference.
- During submission, authors need to select "MobiSec 2026 - Main Track" for their paper.

(2) Poster Paper

The submission should be a single PDF document consisting of (i) the poster abstract and (ii) the poster draft.
Poster abstract: Poster abstract should provide sufficient details about your research showing that you have adequate information to fill a poster.
Poster abstract should meet the following requirements:
- No more than 2-pages, including references and figures
- Submission should not be anonymized
- The submission file is in PDF or PS file format produced via the Easychair Latex Class file (US letter size) like Regular Paper.

Poster draft: All submission must also include draft of the poster to receive feedback from the committee before the conference.
Poster size should be 32x40 inches but can be scaled down to "letter" paper size.

The accepted posters will not be formally published, and their copyright will be owned by their authors.
Therefore, authors can present or publish any content of their poster in other conferences or journals.
Moreover, we will welcome the latest research outcomes, which were introduced at other venue.

During submission, please select "MobiSec 2026 - Poster Track"


PROCEEDINGS & POST PUBLICATIONS:
-----------------------
- All accepted papers will be made available to participants in the preliminary online proceedings (non-official publication) during the conference.
- Following our tradition, a selected set of high-quality papers presented at MobiSec 2026 will be invited for publication in the Springer Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) series (indexed by Scopus), after appropriate revision and expansion.
