**********************************************************************



The IEEE Conference on Dependable and Secure Computing (DSC 2025) invites submissions of papers, posters, and practices/experiences showcasing innovative research, practical solutions, and emerging challenges in dependable and secure computing. This premier conference aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders to advance the state-of-the-art in designing, implementing, and analyzing dependable and secure computing systems. We welcome contributions covering the entire IT landscape, including hardware design, software engineering, network security, cloud computing, IoT security, and AI-driven security solutions, with a strong focus on dependability and security.



Main Track: Regular Papers

The DSC conference accepts regular research papers that have no more than 8 pages. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:



· Advanced Persistent Threat (APT)

· Big Data Analysis

· Botnet and Intrusion Detection

· Cryptographic Methods and Toolkits

· Cyber attacks

· Data/Information Reliability

· Database Security and Privacy

· Soft-Error Analysis and Models

· Stochastic Circuits and Systems

· Temperature-Aware Designs

· Variable-Latency Designs

· Security Circuits, Designs, and Detection



Experience and Practice Track: Short Papers

The DSC conference also solicits short (2-page) experience and practice papers that present new findings from operational or experimental systems. Submissions to this track will be evaluated with the understanding that they primarily contribute to practical know-how or an enhanced understanding of how established security techniques perform in real-world deployments. Authors have to submit a 2-page paper along with a supplemental video (up to 3 minutes) demonstrating the implementation and/or the practicability of the work. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:



· Attacks on Information Systems and/or Digital Information Storage

· CSIRTs, Incident Analysis, and Response

· Honeypots/Honeynets

· Malware Analysis and Reversing

· Mobile Communications Security and Vulnerabilities

· Newly discovered vulnerabilities in software and hardware

· Offensive (and Counter-Offensive) Information Technology

· Reverse Engineering, Forensics, and Anti-Forensics

· Spyware, Phishing and Distributed Attacks

· VLSI/CAD Design Knowhow

· Data Security and Privacy

· PPML and online advertising

· Attacks on model robustness



Accepted papers will be eligible for submission to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the paper at the conference. Please refer to the conference website for detailed submission guidelines, rules, and author requirements.
