2nd International Workshop on Security and Risk in Identity Management
(SeRIM 2026)

July 10, 2026 
Lisbon, Portugal
https://st.fbk.eu/events/SeRIM2026/

Co-located with the 11th IEEE European Symposium on Security and
Privacy (EuroS&P 2026).

-----------------------------------------------

Overview
==============================================================
The increasing reliance on identity management systems in key sectors
such as healthcare, finance, and public administration has made them a
critical component of digital infrastructures. However, as the
adoption of identity management solutions expands, it brings forth a
growing need to assess and manage the security and risks associated
with these systems. Addressing the complex and evolving security and
privacy threats to identity management requires not only a deep
understanding of potential vulnerabilities but also the development of
advanced risk assessment techniques.

This workshop aims at exploring security and risk assessment in
identity management systems, by investigating how to evaluate the
security posture of identity solutions, assess risks, identify
suitable security controls together with privacy enhancing techniques,
and ensure compliance with regulations. Through peer-reviewed research
papers, live demonstrations of tools, and expert keynote sessions, it
will provide a unique venue to discuss the latest trends and
innovations to make identity management infrastructures more resilient
and supporting fundamental rights and freedom.

Topics of Interest
==============================================================
We encourage submissions on a range of topics related to the security
and risk assessment applied to identity management, including but not
limited to:

* Case Studies in Secure Identity Management
* Formal Verification of Identity Management Protocols
* Risk Assessment Methodologies and Strategies
* Security Metrics for Identity Systems
* Specification Languages for Automated Analysis
* Threat Modeling and Vulnerability Assessment
* Tools for Security Analysis

Submission Guidelines
==============================================================

Submitted manuscripts must present original research that does not
substantially overlap with any previously published work or
submissions under consideration by other venues.

Submissions must be in English and provided in PDF format, following
the IEEE conference proceedings format. They will be categorized into
(page limits exclude references and well-marked appendices):

* Regular Papers: full-length research papers (up to 10 pages).
* Short Papers: research papers presenting preliminary results (up to 6 pages).
* Tool Papers: description of tools or practical implementations (up
  to 4 pages). They will be presented in a Demo Session, where
  attendees can see live demonstrations of the tools.

Submissions must be made through the EasyChair conference management
system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=serim2026).

Papers must be submitted in a form suitable for anonymous review: no
author names or affiliations may appear on the title page, and papers
should avoid revealing their identity in the text. Authors should also
take care in not including acknowledgments that help identify them
(e.g., funding information, names of colleagues who gave feedback on
the paper).

Failure to comply with the above requirements may result in rejection
without review.

Please note that at least one author of each accepted paper must
register for the workshop and present the paper in person.

Workshop Proceedings
==============================================================

All accepted papers (regular, short and tool) will be included in the
workshop proceedings. Specifically, they will be published in a volume
within IEEE Xplore, accompanying the main proceedings of IEEE EuroS&P
2026.
