Call For Papers

11th ACM Conference on Data and Application Security and Privacy. 
April 26 - 28, 2021
Taking place virtually.
http://www.codaspy.org/2021

Data and applications security and privacy has rapidly expanded as a
research field with many important challenges to be addressed. The
goal of the ACM Conference on Data and Applications Security (CODASPY)
is to discuss novel, exciting research topics in data and application
security and privacy, and to lay out directions for further research
and development in this area.

The conference seeks submissions from diverse communities, including
corporate and academic researchers, open-source projects,
standardization bodies, governments, system and security
administrators, software engineers and application domain
experts. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

    Application-layer security policies
    Access control for applications
    Access control for databases
    Data-dissemination controls
    Data forensics
    Data leak detection and prevention
    Enforcement-layer security policies
    Privacy-preserving techniques
    Private information retrieval
    Search on protected/encrypted data
    Secure auditing
    Secure collaboration
    Secure data provenance
    Secure electronic commerce
    Secure information sharing
    Secure knowledge management
    Secure multiparty computation
    Secure software development
    Securing data/apps on untrusted platforms
    Securing the semantic web
    Security and privacy in GIS/spatial data
    Security and privacy in healthcare
    Security and privacy in the Internet of Things
    Security policies for databases
    Social computing security and privacy
    Social networking security and privacy
    Trust metrics for applications, data, and users
    Usable security and privacy
    Web application security

CODASPY 2021 will also feature a dataset and tool paper track, which
will provide a unique venue for researchers and practitioners to make
available and citable their work done to achieve datasets or tools
relevant in security and privacy domain. Papers accepted in this track
have to describe the available datasets or reporting on the design and
implementation of application security and privacy tools. Dataset/tool
papers are limited to 6 pages.

Instructions for Research Paper Authors

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal,
conference or workshop. Simultaneous submission of the same work is
not allowed.

Submissions must be at most 12 pages in double-column ACM "sigconf"
format (as specified at ACM Proceedings Template). Submissions must be
anonymized and avoid obvious self-references. Only PDF files will be
accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines will be rejected
without review.

Submissions should be made electronically at EasyChair CODASPY 2021.
