WISA is the premier security research venue hosted by the Korea Institute of Information Security and Cryptology (KIISC), sponsored by the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning (MSIP), and co-sponsored by the Electronics & Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA), and the National Security Research Institute (NSR).

This year, WISA will be exploring the innovative possibilities of various technologies in enhancing (and threatening) cyber security: artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain-driven security, hardware cryptography, and including all other technical and practical aspects of security applications. We invite participants from a diverse group of researchers and practitioners who are passionate about advancing the state of the art, as well as addressing fundamental security challenges. Join us at WISA 2023 and be part of the conversation that shapes the future of information security. 

Submission Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit original papers: they 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.

The submission must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references. The paper should be limited to at most 12 pages in total and prepared according to the "Authors Instruction for LNCS" (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).

To submit your contributions for WISA 2022, please use the EasyChair platform in the designated link at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wisa2023
