TX4Nets 2025 2nd International Workshop on Trustworthy and eXplainable Artificial Intelligence for Networks, Co-located with IFIP Networking 2025, Limassol, Cyprus, May 25-29, 2025. [posted here 2/10/25]
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a transformative force in communication networks, reshaping their design, management, and optimization. In several areas, these systems hold the promise of significantly enhancing service provisioning and network operations. However, the adoption of AI-based systems in the telecom domain has been relatively slow, with operators expressing skepticism about their use for automated network management. This hesitation stems from several key challenges: first, the reliability of these models must be thoroughly understood before they can be deployed in critical infrastructure. Second, the opaque nature of ML/AI models—stemming from a lack of transparency—complicates understanding their behavior and decisions, preventing operators from fully trusting and adopting them. To address these issues, the 2nd International Workshop on Trustworthy and Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Networks (TX4NETs) aims to serve as a collaborative platform to drive advancements in AI systems that are not only powerful but also reliable, interpretable, and aligned with the expectations of network operators.

The 2nd International Workshop on Trustworthy and Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Networks seeks to bring together leading researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to delve into the latest advancements in AI and their applications in communication networks. The workshop will center on the foundational pillars of trustworthy AI, including transparency, robustness, reliability, adaptability, security, data privacy, and computational efficiency, with a focus on their implications for automating and optimizing network operations. Participants will engage in discussions around innovative techniques and methodologies that foster trustworthiness to address challenges in creating AI-driven network systems that inspire confidence.

IWSPA 2025 11th ACM International Workshop on Security and Privacy Analytics, Co-located with ACM CODASPY 2025, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, June 6, 2025. [posted here 1/13/25]
The goal of this workshop is to bring leaders in security and privacy fields together from across the globe. Increasingly, sophisticated techniques from machine learning, data mining, statistics and natural language processing are being applied to challenges in security and privacy fields. However, experts from these areas have no medium where they can meet and exchange ideas so that strong collaborations can emerge, and cross-fertilization of these areas can occur. Moreover, current courses and curricula in security do not sufficiently emphasize background in these areas and students in security and privacy are not emerging with deep knowledge of these topics. Hence, we propose a workshop that will address the research and development efforts in which analytical techniques from machine learning, data mining, natural language processing and statistics are applied to solve security and privacy challenges (“security analytics”). Submissions of papers related to methodology, design, techniques and new directions for security and privacy that make significant use of machine learning, data mining, statistics or natural language processing are welcome. Furthermore, submissions on educational topics and systems in the field of security analytics are also highly encouraged.

WTMC 2025 10th International Workshop on Traffic Measurements for Cybersecurity, Co-located with the 10th IEEE European Symposium on Security and Privacy (IEEE EuroS&P 2025), Venice, Italy, June 30, 2025. [posted here 1/20/25]
Current communication networks are increasingly becoming pervasive, complex, and ever-evolving due to factors like enormous growth in the number of network users, continuous appearance of network applications, increasing amount of data transferred, and diversity of user behavior. Understanding and measuring traffic in such networks is a challenging yet vital task for network management but recently also for cybersecurity purposes. Network traffic measurement and monitoring can, for example, enable the analysis of the spreading of malicious software and its capabilities or can help to understand the nature of various network threats, including those that exploit user's behavior and other user's sensitive information. On the other hand, network traffic investigation can also help to assess the effectiveness of the existing countermeasures or contribute to building new, better ones. Traffic measurements have been utilized in the area of economics of cybersecurity e.g., to assess ISP “badness” or to estimate the revenue of cybercriminals. Recent research has focused on measurements of fake news and the interplay between misinformation and user engagement in news postings using different online platforms. Additionally, recent studies have explored measurements of generative AI's role in cybersecurity, highlighting its dual potential to bypass security measures in cyberattacks and strengthen defense mechanisms against evolving threats. The WTMC workshop aims to bring together the research accomplishments provided by researchers from academia and the industry. The other goal is to show the latest research results in the field of cybersecurity and understand how traffic measurements can influence it. We encourage prospective authors to submit related distinguished research papers on the subject of both theoretical approaches and practical case reviews. This workshop presents some of the most relevant ongoing research in cybersecurity seen from the traffic measurements perspective.

IEEE EuroS&P 2025 10th IEEE European Symposium on Security and Privacy, Venice, Italy, June 30 - July 4, 2025. [posted here 11/1/24]
Since 1980, the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy has been the premier forum for presenting developments in computer security and electronic privacy, and for bringing together researchers and practitioners in the field. Following this story of success, IEEE initiated the European Symposium on Security and Privacy (EuroS&P), which is organized every year in a European city. The IEEE European Symposium on Security and Privacy (Euro S&P) is the younger, more adventurous, and tastier sibling conference of the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy ("Oakland" or "NorCal S&P") conference. It is a premier forum for computer security and privacy research, presenting the latest developments and bringing together researchers and practitioners. We solicit previously unpublished papers offering novel research contributions in security or privacy, as well as Systematization of Knowledge papers that systematize previous results. EuroS&P is interested in all aspects of applied computer security and privacy. We especially encourage papers that are far-reaching and risky, provided those papers show sufficient promise for creating interesting discussions and usefully questioning widely-held beliefs. Papers without a clear connection to security or privacy will be considered out of scope and may be rejected without full review.

SACMAT 2025 30th ACM Symposium on Access Control Models and Technologies, Stony Brook, NY, USA, July 8-10, 2025. [posted here 2/17/25]
Access control has long been one of the most widely adopted and foundational security technologies. It has been seamlessly integrated into operating systems like Multics and Unix—pioneering platforms that contributed to Turing Award-winning innovations—and continues to underpin security in modern mobile devices and cloud computing. Its efficiency and effectiveness have stood the test of time. However, the landscape of computing has dramatically changed since the inception of the ACM Symposium on Access Control Models and Technologies (SACMAT) conference in 1994. We now operate in a deeply interconnected, networked world where no single application or device can act as a fully trusted reference monitor to enforce access control in isolation. This shift demands new trust models, management strategies, enforcement techniques, and supporting mechanisms, such as advanced authentication. In response, SACMAT 2025 invites submissions presenting novel contributions in efficient and effective security mechanisms for distributed, networked computing environments.

ENS 2025 8th International Workshop on Emerging Network Security, Co-located with the 20th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2025), Ghent, Belgium, August 11-14, 2025. [posted here 4/21/25]
With the great success and development of 5G & beyond systems and other emerging concepts (e.g. 6G) a continued effort toward rich ubiquitous communication infrastructure, promising wide range of high-quality services is desired. It is envisioned that communication in emerging networks will offer significantly greater data bandwidth and almost infinite capability of networking resulting in unfaltering user experiences for, among others: virtual/augmented reality, massive content streaming, telepresence, user-centric computing, crowded area services, smart personal networks, Internet of Things (IoT), smart buildings and smart cities.

The communication in 5G networks and beyond is currently in the center of attention of industry, academia, and government worldwide. Emerging network concepts drive many new requirements for different network capabilities. As future networks aim at utilizing many promising network technologies, such as Software Defined Networking (SDN), Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), Information Centric Network (ICN), Network Slicing or Cloud Computing and supporting a huge number of connected devices integrating above mentioned advanced technologies and innovating new techniques will surely bring tremendous challenges for security, privacy and trust. Therefore, secure network architectures, mechanisms, and protocols are required as the basis for emerging networks to address these issues and follow security-by-design approach. Finally, since in current and future networks even more user data and network traffic will be transmitted, big data security solutions should be considered in order to address the magnitude of the data volume and ensure data security and privacy.

From this perspective, the ENS 2025 workshop aims at collecting the most relevant ongoing research efforts in emerging network security field. It also serves as a forum for 5G & beyond projects in order to disseminate their security-related results and boost cooperation, also foster development of the 5G and beyond Security Community made of 5G security experts and practitioners who pro-actively discuss and share information to collectively progress and align on the field. Last but not least it also aims to bridge 5G & Beyond community with other communities (e.g. AI) that are key to support full attainment of 5G & Beyond but also 6G promises and so for those technologies to release their full potential

CUING 2025 9th International Workshop on Cyber Use of Information Hiding, Co-located with the 20th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2025), Ghent, Belgium, August 11-14, 2025. [posted here 4/21/25]
The increasing number of Internet users, availability of storage and network resources, and proliferation of as-a-Service frameworks, leads to a new-wave of offensive campaigns targeting the virtual world. With the diffusion of improved defensive methods, attackers now utilize more and more sophisticated techniques to perform their malicious activities. In recent years, information hiding has emerged as one of the most sophisticated and effective mechanisms for launching attacks. Threat actors now regularly use information hiding to elude countermeasures and prevent reversing the attack chain. More recently, hiding techniques have been deployed to create covert channels, i.e., parasitic communications paths nested in network traffic and digital objects, mainly to cloak command & control communications. Unfortunately, detection and mitigation of threats taking advantage of information hiding are hard tasks that pose many new challenges for digital forensics analysts, academics, law enforcement agencies, and security professionals.

The aim of the International Workshop on Cyber 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 techniques when used in cyberspace. Techniques, mechanisms, and ideas that fall in the scope of the workshop are not limited to classic digital steganography applications or the creation and mitigation of covert communications. Therefore, CUIng also welcomes works that pertain to camouflaging/masking/hiding various types of data, e.g., identities, behaviors of processes, and communication flows. To present a more complete picture of the novel research on hiding methods and their utilization by the attackers, submissions dealing with impersonation or mimicking are encouraged as well, especially to address information hiding in a complete manner, for instance, to discuss ideas for fighting misuse of privacy-enhancing technologies.
