EAI SecureComm 2025 invites Poster and Demo submissions that address innovative and important topics related to all areas of secure communications and networking.

The objective of this track is to provide PhD students with a platform to share their ideas and research work while receiving feedback and suggestions from an international audience. We encourage authors to use the Posters & Demos track as an opportunity to engage with the scientific community, discuss their early-stage research, and refine their work for future publication and innovation. This track is designed to showcase ongoing research progress and insights from recent and current projects.

1. Security and privacy in computer networks
   (e.g., wired, wireless, mobile, hybrid, sensor, vehicular, satellite, 5G, 6G, ad hoc, peer-to-peer, and software-defined networks)
2. Security and privacy in systems with strong secure communication and networking element
   (e.g., security in the cloud, IoT, cyber-physical systems, edge and fog computing, and teleconferencing)
3. Security and privacy in Web3.0 and metaverse
4. Distributed ledger technologies
   (e.g., blockchain, smart contracts, and cryptocurrencies) and decentralized applications (e.g., DeFi)
5. Security protocols at all network layers and for different applications
   (e.g., for secure routing, naming/addressing, network management, remote authentication and attestation)
6. Physical layer security
   (e.g., jamming, GPS spoofing)
7. Network attacks and forensics
   (e.g., DDoS, MitM, malware, botnets, side-channel attacks, phishing/pharming, cybersquatting), defenses (e.g., network intrusion detection and prevention, firewalls, packet filters, moving target defence)
8. Applications of cryptography
   (e.g., Analysis of deployed cryptography and cryptographic protocols, Cryptographic implementation analysis, New cryptographic protocols with real-world applications)
9. Security analysis
   (e.g., Malware analysis, Automated security analysis of source code and binaries, Program analysis)
10. Data-driven security and measurement studies
    (e.g., Measurements of fraud, malware or spam; Measurements of human behavior and security)
11. Cybercrime investigation and attribution
12. Cyber threat intelligence and cyber incident responses
13. Anonymous and privacy-aware communications
    (e.g., Tor, darknet)
14. Internet censorship and circumvention
15. Secure communication and networking applications
    (e.g., industry 4.0, energy, transportation, smart cities)
16. Quantum key distribution and other quantum-based secure communications
17. Visualization of secure communications and networking
18. Privacy-preserving computing in secure communication and networking
    (e.g., privacy-preserving machine learning)
19. The resilience of computer networks and critical infrastructures
20. Web and mobile security and privacy
21. Defending false information online
    (e.g., mis-, dis- and mal-information)
22. Socio-technical aspects of secure communications and networking
    (e.g., usability, human behaviors, legal issues, cybercrime, economics)
23. Security and privacy of contact tracing and other COVID-19 related digital interventions with a core element on telecommunications or networking
24.  

Accepted, registered and presented posters and demos will be submitted for publication by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library. Posters and Demos will be published as a part of the EAI SecureComm 2025 Conference Proceedings in a non-indexed Annex section.

Poster and demo submissions should be a maximum of 4 pages including references, figures, tables, and appendix.
The deadline for the submissions is 1st May 2025.

Paper submission

Papers should be submitted through EAI ‘Confy+‘ system, and have to comply with the Springer format (see Author’s kit section below).

How do I submit a paper in Confy?

1. Go to Confy+ website
2. Login or sign up as new user
3. Select your desired Track
4. Click the ‘Submit Paper’ link within the track and follow the instructions

Alternatively, go to home page of Confy+ and click on “Open conferences”.

Submission guidelines

• Papers should be in English.
• Single-Blind Review.
• Previously published work may not be submitted, nor may the work be concurrently submitted to any other conference or journal. Such papers will be rejected without review.
• The paper submissions must follow the Springer formatting guidelines (see Author’s kit section below).
• Authors are required to adhere to the Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement.

• Submission closes at 23:59 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) on the day of the Submission Deadline.

Papers must be formatted using the Springer LNICST Authors’ Kit.

Instructions and templates are available from Springer’s LNICST homepage:

• LaTeX2e Proceedings Templates (zip)
• Microsoft Word Proceedings Templates (zip)

Please make sure that your paper adheres to the format as specified in the instructions and templates.

When uploading the camera-ready copy of your paper, please be sure to upload both:

• a PDF copy of your paper formatted according to the above templates, and
• an archive file (e.g. zip, tar.gz) containing the both a PDF copy of your paper and LaTeX or Word source material prepared according to the above guidelines.

*As per new EU accessibility requirements, going forward, all figures, illustrations, tables, and images ought to have descriptive text accompanying them. Please refer to the document below, which will assist you in crafting Alternative Text (Alt Text).
