GNNet 2022
1st Graph Neural Networking Workshop,
Co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2022,
Rome, Italy, December 9, 2022.
[posted here 9/26/22]
While AI/ML is today mainstream in domains such as computer
vision and speech recognition, traditional AI/ML approaches have
produced below-par results in many networking applications. Proposed
AI/ML solutions in networking do not properly generalize, can be
unreliable and ineffective in real-network deployments, and are
in general unable to properly deal with the strong dynamics and
changes (i.e., concept drift) occurring in networking applications.
Graphs are emerging as an abstraction to represent complex data.
Computer Networks are fundamentally graphs, and many of their relevant
characteristics – such as topology and routing – are represented as
graph-structured data. Machine learning, especially deep representation
learning, on graphs is an emerging field with a wide array of
applications. Within this field, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs)
have been recently proposed to model and learn over graph-structured
data. Due to their unique ability to generalize over graph data,
GNNs are a central tool to apply AI/ML techniques to networking applications.
The goal of GNNet is to leverage graph data representations and modern
GNN technology to advance the application of AI/ML in networking. GNNet
provides the first dedicated venue to present and discuss the latest
advancements on GNNs and general AI/ML on graphs applied to networking
problems. GNNet will bring together leaders from academia and industry
to showcase recent methodological advances of GNNs and their application
to networking problems, covering a wide range of applications and
practical challenges for large-scale training and deployment.

CUING 2022
International Workshop on Criminal Use of Information Hiding,
Held in conjunction with the 17th International Conference on
Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2022),
Vienna, Austria, August 23-26, 2022.
[posted here 2/14/22]
With the constant rise of the number of Internet users, available
bandwidth and an increasing number of services shifting into the
connected world, criminals are increasingly active in the virtual world.
With improving defensive methods, cybercriminals have to utilize more
and more sophisticated ways to perform their malicious activities. While
protecting the privacy of users, many technologies used in current
malware and network attacks have been abused in order to allow criminals
to carry out their activities undetected. This poses a lot of new
challenges for digital forensics analysts, academics, law enforcement
agencies (LEAs), and security professionals.
The aim of the International Workshop on Criminal Use of Information
Hiding (CUIng) is to bring together researchers, practitioners, law
enforcement representatives, and security professionals in the area of
analysis of information hiding. However, data hiding is understood here
in a wider manner than in the academic world, i.e., all techniques that
pertain to camouflaging/masking/hiding various types of data (e.g.
identities, behavior, communication, etc.) are included here. This means
not only digital steganography/covert channels, but also
obfuscation/anti-forensics techniques and even underground networks
(darknets) or activities related to behavior impersonation or mimicking.
This will allow presenting a more complete picture on novel research
regarding the use of data and communication hiding methods in criminal
environments and discuss ideas for fighting misuse of privacy enhancing
technologies.
Moreover, this year the CUING workshop is co-organized with the SIMARGL
(Secure Intelligent Methods for Advanced RecoGnition of malware and
stegomalware) H2020 project.

SP 2022
43rd IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy,
San Francisco, CA, USA, May 22-26, 2022.
[posted here 5/24/21]
Since 1980 in Oakland, the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy has been the
premier forum for computer security research, presenting the latest developments
and bringing together researchers and practitioners. We solicit previously
unpublished papers offering novel research contributions in any aspect of security
or privacy. Papers may present advances in the theory, design, implementation,
analysis, verification, or empirical evaluation and measurement of secure systems.
Theoretical papers must make a convincing case for the relevance of their
results to practice. Topics of interest include:
- Applied cryptography
- Attacks with novel insights, techniques, or results
- Authentication, access control, and authorization
- Blockchains and distributed ledger security
- Cloud computing security
- Cyber physical systems security
- Distributed systems security
- Economics of security and privacy
- Embedded systems security
- Formal methods and verification
- Hardware security
- Hate, Harassment, and Online Abuse
- Intrusion detection and prevention
- Machine learning and computer security
- Malware and unwanted software
- Network security
- Operating systems security
- Privacy-enhancing technologies, anonymity, and censorship
- Program and binary analysis
- Protocol security
- Security and privacy metrics
- Security and privacy policies
- Security architectures
- Security foundations
- Systems security
- Usable security and privacy
- Web security
- Wireless and mobile security/privacy
This topic list is not meant to be exhaustive; S&P is interested in all
aspects of computer security and privacy. Papers without a clear application to
security or privacy, however, will be considered out of scope and may be
rejected without full review.
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 ìSoK:î 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/.
Ethical Considerations for Vulnerability Disclosure: Where research identifies
a vulnerability (e.g., software vulnerabilities in a given program, design weaknesses
in a hardware system, or any other kind of vulnerability in deployed systems),
we expect that researchers act in a way that avoids gratuitous harm to affected users
and, where possible, affirmatively protects those users. In nearly every case,
disclosing the vulnerability to vendors of affected systems, and other stakeholders,
will help protect users. It is the committeeís sense that a disclosure window of 45 days
https://vuls.cert.org/confluence/display/Wiki/Vulnerability+Disclosure+Policy
to 90 days
https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/p/vulnerability-disclosure-faq.html
ahead of publication is consistent with authorsí ethical obligations.
Longer disclosure windows (which may keep vulnerabilities from the public for extended
periods of time) should only be considered in exceptional situations, e.g., if the
affected parties have provided convincing evidence the vulnerabilities were previously
unknown and the full rollout of mitigations requires additional time. The authors are
encouraged to consult with the PC chairs in case of questions or concerns.
The version of the paper submitted for review must discuss in detail the steps the
authors have taken or plan to take to address these vulnerabilities; but, consistent
with the timelines above, the authors do not have to disclose vulnerabilities ahead
of submission. If a paper raises significant ethical and/or legal concerns, it
might be rejected based on these concerns. The PC chairs will be happy to
consult with authors about how this policy applies to their submissions.
Ethical Considerations for Human Subjects Research: Submissions that describe
experiments on human subjects, that analyze data derived from human subjects (even
anonymized data), or that otherwise may put humans at risk should:
- Disclose whether the research received an approval or waiver from each of
the authors' institutional ethics review boards (IRB) if applicable.
- Discuss steps taken to ensure that participants and others who might have
been affected by an experiment were treated ethically and with respect.
If a submission deals with any kind of personal identifiable information (PII) or
other kinds of sensitive data, the version of the paper submitted for review must
discuss in detail the steps the authors have taken to mitigate harms to the persons
identified. If a paper raises significant ethical and/or legal concerns, it
might be rejected based on these concerns. The PC chairs will be happy to
consult with authors about how this policy applies to their submissions.
