co-sponsored by the Electronics & Telecommunications Research
Institute (ETRI), the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA), and the
National Security Research Institute (NSRI). This year, WISA will also
be sponsored by ONRG (Office of Naval Research Global) and ITC-PAC, USA.

The primary focus of WISA 2017 will be on systems and network security
including all other technical and practical aspects of security
applications. The areas of interest include, but are not limited to
the following:

**** The areas of interest include, but are not limited to: ****
- Analysis of network and security protocols
- Anonymity and censorship-resistant technologies
- Applications of cryptographic techniques
- Authentication and authorization
- Automated tools for source code/binary analysis
- Botnet defense
- Critical infrastructure security
- Denial-of-service attacks and countermeasures
- Digital forensics
- Embedded systems security
- Exploit techniques and automation
- Hardware and physical security
- HCI security and privacy
- Intrusion detection and prevention
- Malware analysis
- Mobile/wireless/cellular system security
- Network-based attacks
- Network infrastructure security
- Operating system security
- Practical cryptanalysis (hardware, DRM, etc.)
- Security policy
- Side channel attacks and countermeasures
- Storage and file system security
- Techniques for developing secure systems
- Trustworthy computing
- Vulnerability research
- Web Security
- Trusted execution environments (Intel SGX, ARM Trustzone, etc.)

**** INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS****
WISA will be looking for original research that has not been published
before. Authors are invited to submit original papers, and must not
substantially duplicate work that any of the authors have published
elsewhere or have submitted in parallel to journals or any other
conferences that have proceedings.  (A few selected papers will be
recommended to SCIE journals).

In addition, WISA will be accepting papers that report about
experiences and recent enhancements of the prior works that had been
published at a top security conference venue. In the latter case, the
paper is expected to contain new materials more than 30% beyond the
prior works.

The submission must be anonymous with no author names, affiliations,
acknowledgements, nor obvious references included in the paper.

The paper should be prepared according to the "Authors Instruction for
LNCS" (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) and limited to
at most 12 pages in total.  The paper submission is accepted only as
PDF or Word formats.

SCIE JOURNAL RECOMMENDATION OF SELECTED PAPERS

Expanded versions of selected papers will be recommended to the
international journals indexed in SCIE.
