NordSec is an annual research conference series that has been running since 1996. The NordSec conferences address a broad range of topics on IT security. The events bring together security researchers from the Nordic countries, Northern Europe, and beyond. In addition to being venue for academic publishing, NordSec is an important meeting place for university faculty, students, and industry experts from the region. The proceedings consist of peer-reviewed articles and are published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
Background, aim and scope
NordSec addresses a broad range of topics within IT security with the aim of bringing together computer security researchers and encouraging interaction between academia and industry. In addition to regular research paper submissions, we invite participants to present their current ideas and work-in-progress in a poster session.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
- Access control and security models
- AI for security and security for AI
- Applied cryptography
- Blockchains
- Cloud security
- Cryptographic protocols
- Cyber crime, warfare, and forensics
- Economic, legal, and social aspects of security
- Formal analysis
- Hardware and embedded security
- Information flow security
- Intrusion detection and mitigation
- Language-based security
- Mobile and Internet of Things security
- Privacy and anonymity
- Risk assessment
- Security and machine learning
- Security education and training
- Security management and audit
- Security metrics
- Security usability
- Social engineering and phishing
- Software security and malware
- Threat modelling
- Trust and identity management
- Trusted computing
- Vulnerability testing
- Web application security
Contributions should reflect original research, developments, studies and experience. Submitted papers should not exceed 16 pages (including references and appendices) in Springer LNCS format. 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.
Submission Guidelines
All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality and relevance through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. As an author, you are required to make a good-faith effort to preserve the anonymity of your submission, while at the same time allowing the reader to fully grasp the context of related past work, including your own. Minimally, please take the following steps when preparing your submission:
- Remove the names and affiliations of authors from the title page.
- Remove acknowledgment of identifying names and funding sources.
- Use care in referring to related work, particularly your own. Do not omit references to provide anonymity, as this leaves the reviewer unable to grasp the context. Instead, reference your past work in the third person, just as you would any other piece of related work by another author.
- Papers must not exceed 16 pages.
All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the program committee listed below.
Papers should be formatted using the Springer LNCS format and must be submitted online, in PDF format, via Easychair.
