The NDSS Symposium (Network and Distributed System Security Symposium) is a highly regarded academic conference that focuses on cutting-edge research in network and distributed system security. It serves as a platform for researchers, practitioners, and experts to present and discuss novel ideas, techniques, and findings in the field of cybersecurity.
Areas/Topics of Interest
Submissions are solicited in, but not limited to, the following areas:
- Anti-malware techniques: detection, analysis, and prevention
- Cyber attack (e.g., APTs, botnets, DDoS) prevention, detection, investigation, and response
- Cyber-crime defense and forensics (e.g., anti-phishing, anti-blackmailing, anti-fraud techniques)
- Integrating security in network protocols (e.g., routing, naming, and management)
- Mobile and wireless network security
- Network security policy implementation, deployment, and management
- Privacy and anonymity in networks and distributed systems
- Public key infrastructures, key management, certification, and revocation
- Security and privacy for blockchains and cryptocurrencies
- Security and privacy of mobile/smartphone platforms and their operating systems
- Security and privacy of systems based on machine learning, federated learning, AI, and large language models
- Security for cloud/edge computing
- Security for cyber-physical systems (e.g., autonomous vehicles, industrial control systems)
- Security for emerging networks (e.g., smart homes, IoT, body-area networks, VANETs)
- Security for future Internet architectures and designs (e.g., Software-Defined Networking)
- Security for large-scale, critical infrastructures (e.g., electronic voting, smart grid)
- Security of web-based applications and services (e.g., social networking, crowd-sourcing, fake news/disinformation), web security and privacy
- Software/firmware/hardware security analysis, customization, and extensions
- Special problems and case studies: e.g., tradeoffs between security and efficiency, usability, cost, and ethics
