PETS 2018
18th Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium

Submission deadlines: August 31, 2017; November 30, 2017; February 28,

The annual Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium (PETS) brings
together privacy experts from around the world to present and discuss
recent advances and new perspectives on research in privacy
technologies.

Papers undergo a journal-style reviewing process and accepted papers are
published in Proceedings on Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PoPETs), a
scholarly, open access journal. Submitted papers should present novel
practical and/or theoretical research into the design, analysis,
experimentation, or fielding of privacy-enhancing technologies. While
PETS/PoPETs has traditionally been home to research on anonymity systems
and privacy-oriented cryptography, we strongly encourage submissions on
a number of both well-established and emerging privacy-related topics,
for which examples are provided below.

PoPETs also solicits submissions for Systematization of Knowledge (SoK)
papers. These are papers that critically review, evaluate, and
contextualize work in areas for which a body of prior literature exists,
and whose contribution lies in systematizing the existing knowledge in
that area.

Authors are encouraged to view our FAQ about the submission process.
