=====================================================

Protect-IT targets to attract studies on security and privacy for 
machine learning (ML) from an information-theoretic standpoint. Accuracy 
and efficiency of ML systems are ensured by employing large datasets 
which usually contain highly sensitive/personal information. This strong 
dependence on personal information jeopardizes the privacy and security 
of innocent Internet users who are contributing, knowingly or not, to 
these online statistical datasets. Protect-IT aims to bring the typical 
attendees of CSF, who have expertise on the theory of cryptography and 
(algorithmic) fairness together with researchers on information theory 
to study, develop, and evaluate privacy, security, and fairness attacks 
against ML along with defense strategies to counter them.
We put information theory at the heart of this endeavor and call for 
contributions grounded in information-theoretic concepts and principles, 
aiming to enrich preliminary research efforts and to achieve widespread 
adoption.

We will have two invited sessions that will be held by Josep 
Domingo-Ferrer from University of Rovira i Virgili and Jan Ramon from 
INRIA, Lille.  The workshop is currently planned as a full day event.

**SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS**

We welcome two types of submissions: extended abstracts and posters. 
Extended abstracts must be at most 4 pages long excluding references and 
adhere to the *CSF* *format*. We encourage submissions of work that is 
new to the community of data privacy, security and information theory in 
addition to submissions which are currently under review elsewhere or 
recently published in privacy and security venues. The workshop will 
*not* have formal proceedings, but authors of accepted abstracts can 
choose to publish their work on the workshop's webpage or to provide a 
link to arXiv.

**POSTER INSTRUCTIONS**
All accepted papers have a slot at the poster session. Please print your 
poster on size up to A0 (841 × 1189 mm) and bring it to the conference.

Submission deadline: May 04, 2024, 23:59 (Anywhere on Earth)
Notification of acceptance: June 04, 2024

More information may be found in the attached CFP flyer as well as on
the workshop's webpage.
