OVERVIEW

WISA is one of the main security research venues hosted by the Korea Institute of Information Security and Cryptology (KIISC) and sponsored by the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning (MSIP), and co-sponsored by the Electronics & Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA), and the National Security Research Institute (NSRI).

The primary focus of WISA 2018 will be on systems and network security including all other technical and practical aspects of security applications. This year, in particular, we will be inviting participations from researchers working on vehicles, drones, and ships, who are keen on bringing open security challenges for their recent works on the embedded, unmanned or autonomous systems and cyber physical systems in general.

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     
- 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.)                   
- Side channel attacks and countermeasures
- Storage and file systems security            
- Techniques for developing secure systems
- Trustworthy computing                
- Trusted execution environments (Intel SGX, ARM Trustzone, etc.)            
- Unmanned System Security for Vehicle/Drone/Ship Systems
- Vulnerability research
- Web security


WISA will be looking for original research papers that have not been published before. (A few selected papers will be recommended to SCIE journals). In addition, WISA will be accepting papers that report about experiences and recent enhancements of the prior works that had been published at top security conference venues. In the latter case, the papers are expected to contain new original materials, more than 30% beyond the prior works. The submission must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references.


TWO PUBLISHING OPTIONS FOR AUTHOURS

 WISA will provide accepted papers with the following publishing options that author can choose after their paper acceptance.
1. LNCS Proceeding. This will be considered as LNCS Journal publication.
2. WISA Local Proceeding. This will be considered as a workshop publication, an extension of which can be submitted to other conference and journal venues. 


INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

 WISA will be looking for original research that has not been published before. Authors are invited to submit original papers, and must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors have published elsewhere or have submitted in parallel to journals or any other conferences that have proceedings.  (A few selected papers will be recommended to SCIE journals).

In addition, WISA will be accepting papers that report about experiences and recent enhancements of the prior works that had been published at a top security conference venue. In the latter case, the paper is expected to contain new materials more than 30% beyond the
prior works.

The submission must be anonymous with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, nor obvious references included in the paper.

The paper should be prepared according to the "Authors Instruction for LNCS" (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) and limited to at most 12 pages in total.  The paper submission is accepted only as PDF or Word formats.


SCIE JOURNAL RECOMMENDATION OF SELECTED PAPERS

Expanded versions of selected papers will be recommended to the international journals indexed in SCIE.
