The Silicon Valley Cybersecurity Conference (SVCC) is an annual international conference in cybersecurity held at the heart of Silicon Valley, which is supported by the Silicon Valley Cybersecurity Institute (SVCSI). SVCC focuses on research in dependability, reliability, and security to address cyber-attacks, vulnerabilities, faults, and errors in networks and systems. This conference is a forum to present research in robustness and resilience in a wide spectrum of computing systems and networks. All aspects of the research and practice of applied security are within the scope of this conference. Relevant topics include innovative system design, protocols, and algorithms for detecting, preventing, mitigating, and responding to malicious threats in dependable and secure systems and networks including experimentation and assessment. The topics of interest are in the security of hardware, software, networks, clouds, cyber-physical systems, socio-technical systems, blockchain, and healthcare.
Submission Guidelines
The authors need to submit their original papers to EasyChair. Two different types of papers can be submitted, and the specified page lengths include tables, figures, references, and appendices: Regular papers (16 pages single-column format) and Short papers (8 pages single-column format). All papers must be written in English. Manuscripts must include a title, an abstract with 200-250 words, and a list of 4-6 keywords. All papers must be prepared in the Springer LNCS single-column format. SVCC 2021 uses a double-blind review policy. Authors are required to remove their names, affiliation(s), and other identifying information from the header of the manuscript. This also includes meta-data in the submitted document as well as acknowledgment sections. Papers that do not meet these anonymization requirements may be rejected without further review. See https://svcc2021.svcsi.org/for additional details.
