Kaspersky Labs will offer a workshop/tutorial for the conference
participants.


PROPOSALS
=========

Papers, special sessions, tutorials, and workshops addressing all aspects
of security in information and networks are being sought. Researchers and

especially encouraged: development and realization of cryptographic
solutions, security schemes, new algorithms; critical analysis of existing
approaches; secure information systems, security, privacy, and trust of
blockchain and distributed ledger technologies, secure smart contracts,
consensus mechanisms, especially distributed control and processing
applications, and security in networks; interoperability, service levels,
and quality issues in such systems; information assurance, security, and
public policy; detection and prevention of cybercrimes such as fraud and
