Submitting Calls-for-Papers to Cipher

The Cipher calendar and CFP list are primarily for researchers in the field of computer and network security who are looking for venues to present original work. Other conferences may be included at the discretion of the editor.

Please be clear about how the proceedings will be published. In order to help academic researchers with their publications, the Cipher editors give the highest priority to events that have published proceedings. Events that distributed proceedings only to attendees, or that publish only a few of the presented papers, or otherwise limit publication, may be included in the Calender, with a notation about the absence or limitation, but not in the Call-for-Papers page.

To have a conference considered for inclusion in the Cipher calendar and Calls-for-Papers, submit a text version of the CFP to cipher-cfp @ ieee-security.org . (See information about email failures.)

A URL, instead of ascii text, is acceptable if the page has all the essential information available as ascii text that can be "selected" using a window system interface. If the date or place or other information is in an embedded graphic, it may delay processing of the CFP indefinitely.

A third option, for HTML experts, is to submit HTML for a calendar and CFP entry in the exact HTML format used in compiled listings; use "view source" in a browser to see the format of calendar and CFP pages. Use this option only if you have extensive experience editing HTML source files.

Finally, please remember that all IEEE TC S&P activities are performed by volunteers, and we cannot guarantee timeliness of posting, though we do our best. A gentle inquiry after two weeks may be helpful to your cause; more frequent or insistent inquiries will not.
