SIN 2020 conference features contributed as well as invited papers, special sessions, workshops, and tutorials on theory and practice of security of information and networks. SIN 2020 will feature the following keynote talks: - Liudmila Babenko, Southern Federal University, Taganrog, Rostov-on-Don, Russia. - Albert Levi, Sabancı University, Turkey. - Muhammed Ali Aydın, Istanbul University, Turkey AWARDS: ======== Two prizes will be offered (complements of Kaspersky Labs): - Best Paper Award - Best Presentation Award TUTORIAL: ========= Kaspersky Labs will offer a workshop/tutorial for the conference participants. PROPOSALS ========= Papers, special sessions, tutorials, and workshops addressing all aspects of security in information and networks are being sought. Researchers and industrial practitioners working on the following and related subjects are especially encouraged: development and realization of cryptographic solutions, security schemes, new algorithms; critical analysis of existing approaches; secure information systems, security, privacy, and trust of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies, secure smart contracts, consensus mechanisms, especially distributed control and processing applications, and security in networks; interoperability, service levels, and quality issues in such systems; information assurance, security, and public policy; detection and prevention of cybercrimes such as fraud and phishing; next-generation network architectures, protocols, systems, and applications; industrial experiences and challenges of the above. Doctoral students are encouraged to propose papers on ongoing research. Original papers will be considered; submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel to any other conference or workshop that has proceedings. All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee judging its originality, significance, correctness, presentation, and relevance. Authors are also encouraged to propose position papers on practical studies and experiments, a critique of existing work, emerging issues, and novel ideas under development. Enterprises and research centers developing, implementing, or using security tools and frameworks are encouraged to propose application/tool demo. Proposals of half-day tutorials on fundamental to advanced subjects covering practical implementation aspects of security are welcome. Proposals of special session(s) to be held in the main conference are welcome. Proposals of workshops to be held in conjunction with the conference are welcome. The theme of a workshop proposal should be closely related to a specific area of the conference topics. Broad areas of interest in security theory, technology, and applications will include, but are not limited to, the following: * Access control and intrusion detection * Security of cyber-physical systems * Autonomous and adaptive security * Security tools and development platforms * Computational intelligence techniques in security * Security ontology, models, protocols & policies * Computer network defense * Standards, guidelines, and certification * Cryptographic techniques and key management * Security-aware software engineering * Industrial applications of security * Trust and privacy * Information assurance * Next-generation network architectures * Malware analysis * Network security and protocols * Security challenges in Mobile/Embedded Systems * Cloud security * Security, privacy, and trust of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies * Secure smart contracts * Consensus mechanisms * Security Awareness and Education * Post Quantum Cryptography * IoT Security and Trust * <update as needed> SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS ======================= Papers must be submitted electronically via the SIN 2020 Submission Site at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sin2020. Title, author's name(s), affiliation, mailing address, telephone, fax, and email of the principal author should be included.
