IEEE Transactions on Privacy. (Submission Due: On-going) [posted here 7/21/25]
Editor-in-Chief: Christopher W. Clifton

IEEE Transactions on Privacy (TP) provides a multidisciplinary forum for theoretical, methodological, engineering, and applications aspects of privacy and data protection. Privacy, in this context, is defined as the freedom from unauthorized intrusion in its broadest sense, arising from any activity in information collection, information processing, information dissemination, or invasion. Contributions to solving privacy problems in various application domains such as healthcare are also accepted. Purely theoretical papers with no potential application or purely developmental work without any methodological contribution or generalizability would not be in scope. To submit an article, please use the IEEE Author Portal. Detailed information on submitting your paper to an IEEE Computer Society publication can be found on the Author Guidelines page.

ACM Distributed Ledger Technologies: Research and Practice, Special Issue on Distributed Ledger Technologies for Trustworthy Internet of Vehicles. (Submission Due 31 August 2025) [posted here 4/7/25]
Guest Editors: Haitham Mahmoud (Birmingham City University, UK), Junaid Arshad (Birmingham City University, UK), Mohammed Alsadi (Verizon, USA), and Ahmed Khan (Verizon, USA).

The incorporation of smart road technology into the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) presents an opportunity for revolutionizing the transportation industry, offering improved traffic flow, safety, economic prospects, reduced environmental impact, and secure data transmission. However, as vehicle connectivity escalates and smart infrastructure becomes more integrated, data security and privacy concerns have grown. Due to the possibility of unauthorized access to sensitive information or system manipulation by malicious actors within the IoV ecosystem, the need to implement robust security measures to protect data and maintain privacy is particularly critical. Vehicles can connect directly (V2V) or through infrastructure (V2I) in the IoV through using a variety of communication mechanisms. To improve safety and navigation, this cooperative environment enables vehicles to share vital information like traffic updates and road conditions. The reputation/trust mechanisms of the vehicles are essential in ensuring the reliability and trustworthiness of the information shared. This robust security framework mitigates the risk of attacks like malicious data injection or hacking of autonomous vehicles, safeguarding not only data integrity but, critically, human lives and safety within the transportation industry. Centralized systems are insufficient for the decentralised nature of the IoV and may pose security and privacy risks by requiring trust in third-party systems. Maintaining privacy, safeguarding the network, and optimizing the use of resources present difficulties for such decentralized networks. These issues can be resolved by decentralised technologies such as Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs), which offer efficient, transparent, and safe ways to build and preserve trust by sending trustworthy information. Incorporating trust from trusted vehicles within a reputation system poses challenges in maintaining privacy, securing network interactions, ensuring decentralization, and resource-efficient computations, while necessitating real-time trust score aggregation that considers device limitations to uphold both vehicle security and privacy.

This special issue centres on the state-of-the-art (latest) developments in privacy, reputation, and trust management within the IoV utilising DLTs, blockchain and smart contracts, highlighting aspects like trust measurement, peer recommendations, and misbehaviour detection, along with addressing privacy concerns and associated threats in the IoV. We encourage submissions that emphasise trust, reputation, privacy, and their associated threats within the IoV decentralized system (i.e., DLTs, Blockchains, etc.).

Journal of Systems Architecture, Special Issue on Security and Privacy in AIoT-enabled Smart Cities. (Submission Due 31 August 2025) [posted here 3/17/25]
Guest Editors: Qin Liu (Hunan University, China), Kouichi Sakurai (Kyushu University, Japan), Richard Hill (University of Huddersfield, UK), and Wenjia Li (New York Institute of Technology, USA).

In a smart city, numerous artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) communicate and collaborate to improve our quality of life. Both artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of things (IoT) are foundational technologies that have been interacting with each other to realize a smart life. As massive amounts of sensitive data are generated, processed, and exchanged through IoT devices and AI technologies, one of the fundamental problems is how to provide intelligent services in smart cities without compromising security and privacy. This special issue aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in IoT, AI, and network security, to share their novel ideas and latest findings in relation to security and privacy in AIoT-enabled smart cities.

Conference and Workshop Call-for-papers

APWG eCrime 2025 20th APWG Symposium on Electronic Crime Research, San Diego, CA, USA, November 4-7, 2025. (Submission Due 29 July 2025) [posted here 3/17/25]
The 2025 Symposium on Electronic Crime Research (eCrime 2025) will examine essential factors for managing the impacts of the global cybercrime plexus to secure IT users, commercial enterprises, governments, critical infrastructure, and operational technologies. eCrime 2025 will be the 20th annual peer-reviewed, publishing symposium hosted by APWG. This year, eCrime 2025 inaugurates a dimensional extension of the symposium's purview to include research on cyber-physical crimes. From 2025 forward, eCrime will specifically solicit research on cybercrimes involving cyber-physical systems and operational technologies abused in the furtherance of any crime. This expands eCrime's scope from purely cyber (digital) crimes to include those that manifest abuse against physical spaces, such as homes, commercial enterprises, scientific or military facilities, roadways, public spaces, critical infrastructure and devices (e.g. IoT, electro-mechanical controllers, sensors, etc.). With the rise of cyber attacks inflicting physical damage - as exhibited in the Stuxnet attacks, the cyber incursions against the Ukrainian electrical grid a decade ago and the Colonial pipeline shutdown - as well as the rapid evolution of malware designed to manipulate SCADA and ICS process control technologies, it w as clear eCrime's CFP scope had to be expanded once more to maintain relevance to the contemporary cyber threatscape.

HealthSec 2025 Workshop on Cybersecurity in Healthcare, Co-located with the Annual Computer Security Applications Conference (ACSAC41), Honolulu, HI, USA, December 9, 2025. (Submission Due 1 August 2025) [posted here 6/2/25]
In its most basic form, healthcare is gathering data, interpreting data into information, and transforming information into current human knowledge that can be acted upon, with each of these stages open to unintended errors and/or malicious subversion. These stages do not occur within a vacuum but rather within our existing infrastructures and social system with all their current limitations, systemic bias, and exploitable vulnerabilities. While a similar characterization can be made about security in other applied domains, healthcare is undergoing a dramatic transformation, arguably the next technological revolution, presenting immediate opportunities for improvement along with corresponding challenges in security.

Our desire is to bring together diverse researchers from academia, government, and the healthcare industry to report on the latest research efforts. As this is the second workshop following a first workshop that exceeded all expectations, we want to continue momentum toward encouraging, jumpstarting, and growing excellent interdisciplinary contributions at the forefront of cybersecurity in healthcare research. Papers with demonstrated results will be given priority.

XRSecurity 2025 Workshop on Security, Privacy, and Trust in Extended Reality Systems, Held in conjunction with ACM MobiHoc 2025, Houston, TX, USA, October 27-30, 2025. (Submission Due 10 August 2025) [posted here 6/9/25]
Extended Reality (XR) is a comprehensive term that includes Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Virtual Reality (VR). XR bridges physical and digital worlds, creating interactive, immersive experiences that merge with the real world. It offers numerous applications across education, training, manufacturing, collaborative 3D design, art, and multiplayer gaming. Despite these benefits, XR systems introduce unique security, privacy, and trust challenges due to the intimate connection between users, their XR devices, and their immediate environments. The potential attacks can involve information flooding to induce latency and physical discomfort, injecting misleading virtual content to distract or deceive users, subverting personal area networks to create confusion, spoofing alarms, assessing user status through eye tracking, and accessing onboard cameras to gather environmental information without the user's awareness. Additionally, XR apps can access sensitive real-time inputs like eye gaze, head movement, hand gestures, and even biosignals, and users' immediate environment. These signals, while critical for immersive experiences, open up novel attack surfaces such as keystroke inference, emotional profiling, and behavioral tracking. This workshop will explore the security, privacy, and trust challenges in XR systems, along with potential solutions.

Systematization of Knowledge Papers: As in past years, we solicit systematization of knowledge (SoK) papers that evaluate, systematize, and contextualize existing knowledge, as such papers can provide a high value to our community. Suitable papers are those that provide an important new viewpoint on an established, major research area, support or challenge long-held beliefs in such an area with compelling evidence, or present a convincing, comprehensive new taxonomy of such an area. Survey papers without such insights are not appropriate and may be rejected without full review. Submissions will be distinguished by the prefix ÒSoK:Ó in the title and a checkbox on the submission form. They will be reviewed by the full PC and held to the same standards as traditional research papers, but they will be accepted based on their treatment of existing work and value to the community, and not based on any new research results they may contain. Accepted papers will be presented at the symposium and included in the proceedings. You can find an overview of recent SoK papers at https://oaklandsok.github.io/.

Symposium Event (Important Changes): The number of papers accepted to IEEE S&P continues to grow substantially each year. Due to conference venue limitations and costs, each accepted paper will have: (a) a short talk presentation (e.g., 5-7 minutes, length determined based on the number of accepted papers) and (b) a poster presentation immediately following the talk session containing the paper. All accepted papers are required to present both a short talk and a poster.

IEEE Transactions on Privacy,   Editor-in-Chief: Christopher W. Clifton
IEEE Transactions on Privacy (TP) provides a multidisciplinary forum for theoretical, methodological, engineering, and applications aspects of privacy and data protection. Privacy, in this context, is defined as the freedom from unauthorized intrusion in its broadest sense, arising from any activity in information collection, information processing, information dissemination, or invasion. Contributions to solving privacy problems in various application domains such as healthcare are also accepted. Purely theoretical papers with no potential application or purely developmental work without any methodological contribution or generalizability would not be in scope. To submit an article, please use the IEEE Author Portal. Detailed information on submitting your paper to an IEEE Computer Society publication can be found on the Author Guidelines page.  More information can be found at https://www.computer.org/csdl/journals/pr.
 
EURASIP Journal on Information Security,   Editors-in-Chief: Stefan Katzenbeisser
EURASIP Journal on Information Security aims to bring together researchers and practitioners dealing with the general field of information security, with a particular emphasis on the use of signal processing tools in adversarial environments. As such, it addresses all works whereby security is achieved through a combination of techniques from cryptography, computer security, machine learning and multimedia signal processing. Application domains lie, for example, in secure storage, retrieval and tracking of multimedia data, secure outsourcing of computations, forgery detection of multimedia data, or secure use of biometrics. The journal also welcomes survey papers that give the reader a gentle introduction to one of the topics covered as well as papers that report large-scale experimental evaluations of existing techniques. Pure cryptographic papers are outside the scope of the journal. The journal also welcomes proposals for Special Issues. All papers must be submitted online at http://jis.eurasipjournals.com/manuscript.  More information can be found at http://jis.eurasipjournals.com.
