OVERVIEW
WISA is the premier security research venue co-hosted by the Korea Institute of Information Security and Cryptology (KIISC) and the Electronics & Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) and co-sponsored by the National intelligence service (NIS), the Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT), the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA), and the National Security Research Institute (NSR) by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI). This year, WISA will be exploring the innovative possibilities of various technologies in enhancing (and threatening) cyber security: artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain-driven security, hardware cryptography, and all other technical and practical aspects of security applications. We invite participants from a diverse group of researchers and practitioners who are passionate about advancing the state of the art, as well as addressing fundamental security challenges. Join us at WISA 2026 and be part of the conversion that shapes the future of information security.

The areas of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
• Analysis of network and security protocols
• Anonymity and censorship-resistant technologies
• Applications of cryptographic techniques
• Authentication and authorization
• Automated tools for source code/binary analysis
• Automobile security
• AI security
• Botnet defense
• Blockchain security
• Critical infrastructure security
• Denial-of-service attacks and countermeasures
• Digital Forensics
• Embedded systems security
• Exploit techniques and automation
• Hardware and physical security
• HCI security and privacy
• Intrusion detection and prevention
• Malware analysis
• Mobile/wireless/cellular system security
• Network-based attacks
• Network infrastructure security
• Operating system security
• Practical cryptanalysis (hardware, DRM, etc.)
• Security policy
• Side channel attacks and countermeasures
• Storage and file systems security
• Techniques for developing secure systems
• Trustworthy computing
• Trusted execution environments
• Unmanned System Security for Vehicle/Drone/Ship Systems
• Vulnerability research
