2nd Annual FHE.org Conference on Fully Homomorphic Encryption,
Co-located with Real World Crypto 2023,
Tokyo, Japan, March 26, 2023.
[posted here 9/12/22]
First envisioned in the late seventies, the first realization for
fully homomorphic encryption only came three decades later. Fully homomorphic
encryption has since been an active research topic. The FHE.org conference aims
at being the premier forum gathering researchers, technologists and practitioners
working on the design, development, deployment, validation, and applications
of fully homomorphic encryption.
The program committee is seeking original contributions on all
aspects of fully homomorphic encryption. Submissions across a broad
range of the development phases are encouraged, from exploratory research
and proof-of-concept studies to practical applications and deployment
of fully homomorphic encryption and related technologies.

OSNeHM 2023
1st International workshop on Online Social Networks in the Human-centric Metaverse,
Co-located with the Web Conference 2023,
Austin, Texas, USA, April 30 - May 4, 2023.
[posted here 12/26/22]
The cyber and physical worlds are increasingly becoming indistinguishable.
This is fostered by enabling technologies such as IoT and pervasive networks, advanced
data management and analytics techniques, and advanced platforms with massive diffusion,
chiefly among them Online Social Networks. Whatever we do in one world has immediate
consequences on the other world, thanks to a constant flow of data - and online
analytics - between the two worlds.
In this context, the vision of the Metaverse provides additional perspectives,
augmenting human interactions with things and other humans across the two worlds.
The role of the humans in this socio-technical complex system is key, and still
largely unexplored. Quite interestingly, while new tools characteristic of the
cyber-physical world - OSN among them - have been designed to largely extend
human capabilities, the real interplay between these tools and human behaviours
and cognitive constraints often result in unexpected results. Therefore,
while humans are in principle at the center of the cyber-physical convergence
and, thus – in the perspective – of the Metaverse, the interplay between both
worlds and the technical solutions underpinning this convergence are hitherto
largely unexplored and yet to be understood.
OSNeHM’s main theme will be the role of Online Social Networks in such a
human-centric cyber-physical convergence leading to the Metaverse. It will
provide a forum for discussion on early yet principled approaches and results
on all aspects related to this theme. A special emphasis will be devoted to the
characterisation of the individual and social behaviour of humans, using OSN as
"big data microscopes" for collecting and analysing big data via robust
big data analytics. Papers discussing solutions focusing on the interplay
between social and technical (online and offline) worlds will be high welcome.
On the other hand, the workshop will welcome papers proposing novel technical
solutions to support human-centric approaches to the evolution of OSN in the
perspective of the Metaverse.

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/.

The Computer Security Foundations Symposium (CSF) is an annual
conference for researchers in computer security, to examine current theories
of security, the formal models that provide a context for those theories, and
techniques for verifying security. It was created in 1988 as a workshop of the
IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee on Security and Privacy, in response
to a 1986 essay by Don Good entitled “The Foundations of Computer Security—We
Need Some.” The meeting became a “symposium” in 2007, along with a policy for
open, increased attendance. Over the past two decades, many seminal papers and
techniques have been presented first at CSF. For more details on the history of
the symposium, visit CSF's home.
The program includes papers, panels, and a poster session. Topics of interest
include access control, information flow, covert channels, cryptographic
protocols, database security, language-based security, authorization and
trust, verification techniques, integrity and availability models, and
broad discussions concerning the role of formal methods in computer
security and the nature of foundational research in this area.
