Overview
------------------------------------

ESORICS is the annual European research event in Computer
Security. The Symposium started in 1990 and has been held in several
European countries, attracting a wide international audience from both
the academic and industrial communities. Papers offering novel
research contributions in computer security are solicited for
submission to the Symposium. The primary focus is on original, high
quality, unpublished research and implementation experiences.  We
encourage submissions of papers discussing industrial research and
development.

Paper Submission Guidelines
------------------------------------
Submissions must be made through EasyChair at:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esorics2016

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with proceedings. The conference proceedings will be
published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series
(LNCS).

All submissions should follow the LNCS template from the time they are
submitted. Submitted papers should be at most 16 pages (using 10-point
font), excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices, and at
most 20 pages total. Committee members are not required to read the
appendices, so the paper should be intelligible without them. All
submissions must be written in English. Submissions are to be made to
the Submission web site. Only pdf files will be accepted. Submissions
are not anonymous.

Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without
consideration of their merits. Authors of accepted papers must
guarantee that their papers will be presented at the conference.

Papers must be received by the aforementioned dates, 11:59 p.m. American 
Samoa time (UTC-11).
