CSF 2013 Final Call for Papers and Panels 
26th IEEE Computer Security Foundations Symposium 

http://csf2013.seas.harvard.edu/ 

June 26 - 28, 2013 
Tulane University, New Orleans Louisiana, USA 

Invited Speakers: 
- Joseph Halpern (Cornell University), joint invited talk with LICS 
- Markus Jakobsson (PayPal) 
- Benjamin Pierce (University of Pennsylvania) 

***************************************************** 

The Computer Security Foundations Symposium is an annual conference for 
researchers in computer security. CSF seeks papers on foundational aspects 
of computer security, e.g., formal security models, relationships between 
security properties and defenses, principled techniques and tools for 
design and analysis of security mechanisms as well as their application to 
practice. While CSF welcomes submissions beyond the topics listed below, 
the main focus of CSF is foundational security: submissions that lack 
foundational aspects risk rejection. 

Topics 
------ 
New theoretical results in computer security are welcome. Possible topics 
include, but are not limited to: 

Access control, Accountability, Anonymity and Privacy, Authentication, 
Data and system integrity, Database security, Data provenance, 
Decidability and complexity, Distributed systems security, Electronic 
voting, Executable content, Formal methods for security, Game Theory and 
Decision Theory, Hardware-based security, Information flow, Intrusion 
detection, Language-based security, Network security, Resource usage 
control, Security for mobile computing, Security models, Security 
protocols, Socio-technical security*, Trust and trust management. 

*Socio-technical security: concepts, models and techniques to analyse the 
role of humans in [information] security 


Challenges and Vision Papers: 
----------------------------- 
We particularly encourage challenge/vision papers, which may describe open 
questions and raise fundamental concerns about practical security. 
Challenges and/or vision papers should typically identify a real world 
security problem, argue why it raises foundational issues, explain why the 
currently available and relevant foundational techniques are inadequate 
for addressing it, and identify foundational challenges that have to be 
addressed to solve the problem. These papers will appear in the CSF 
proceedings and will be presented at the conference without any 
distinction from papers that present new technical results. 



Proceedings, published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, will be 
available at the symposium, and selected papers will be invited for 
submission to the Journal of Computer Security.

***************************************************** 
PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS 

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been 
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a 
conference with published proceedings. Failure to clearly identify any 
duplication or overlap with other published or submitted papers is ground 
for rejection without full review. 

Papers should be submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF). Papers 
submitted in a proprietary word processor format such as Microsoft Word 
cannot be considered. At least one coauthor of each accepted paper is 
required to attend CSF to present the paper. 

Papers must be submitted using the two-column IEEE Proceedings style 
available for various document preparation systems at the IEEE Conference 
Publishing Services page. Regular papers should be at most 12 pages long, 
not counting bibliography and well-marked appendices. 
Challenge/vision papers should be clearly identified and should follow the 
same format requirements as regular paper. 
Committee members are not required to read appendices, and so the paper 
must be intelligible without them. Papers not adhering to the page limits 
will be rejected without consideration of their merits. 

Papers should be submitted using the CSF 2013 submission site. The full 
paper submission deadline is February 6th, 2013. The preliminary 
submission of an abstract is mandatory and the deadline is January 30th, 
2013.

***************************************************** 
PANEL PROPOSALS 

Proposals for panels are welcome. They should be no more than three pages 
in length, and should include the names of possible panelists and an 
indication of which of those panelists have confirmed a desire to 
participate. They should be submitted by email to the program chairs.
