***** ABOUT***** 
The first Foundations & Practice of Security (FPS)
Symposium was held in 2008, following the Canada-France Meeting on
Security organized at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver in
2007. Since then, FPS has been held annually, alternating between
Canadian and French locations. The 19th edition of FPS will be held
from October 13 to 16, 2026, in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada.

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit original papers to
the regular track of the conference, covering the full spectrum of
theoretical and applied research in cybersecurity, including
methodological approaches, tools, simulations, demonstrations, case
studies, as well as experimental and practical evaluations. For the
19th edition, the special topic of the conference will be the security
and privacy of AI systems as well as the use of AI to solve
fundamental privacy or security issues. In addition, FPS 2026 also
includes an Industrial Track, dedicated to work applied in real-world
environments, such as simulations in industrial information systems,
field experience reports, and case studies involving at least one
industrial partner.
