Welcome to the 16^th International Symposium on Foundations & Practice of Security (FPS – 2023).

The 16^th symposium will be hosted by the Bordeaux Institute of Technologies (Bordeaux INP), in Bordeaux, France, on December 11-13 2023. We invite researchers and practitioners from all countries working in security, privacy, trustworthy data systems, and related areas to participate in the event.

Protecting the communication and data infrastructure of an increasingly interconnected world has become vital to the normal functioning of all aspects of our world. Security has emerged as a necessary scientific discipline whose multifaceted complexities deserve the attention and synergy of the mathematical, computer science, and engineering communities.

The aim of FPS is to discuss and exchange theoretical and practical ideas that address security issues in interconnected systems. It aims to provide scientific presentations and establish links and promote scientific collaboration, joint research programs, and student exchanges between institutions involved in this important and fast-moving research field.

Submission Guidelines

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers must be written in English and must be submitted electronically in PDF format. The papers that will be selected for presentation at the conference will be included in post-proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series (prior to publication the papers should be revised according to the review comments). Pre-proceedings will appear at the time of the conference.

Maximum paper length (including the references) will be 16 printed pages for full papers and 8 pages for short, position papers or demos including references in LNCS style. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be presented at the conference on-site. All paper submissions will be handled through the Easy Chair conference management system. All Springer books will now be on SpringerLink so you can easily search and find books on the same or related topics.
