Call For Papers

NSPW 2026 (New Security Paradigms Workshop) is a CCF C / ICORE C conference held in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada on 2026-09-27. The paper submission deadline is 2026-04-30. Acceptance notifications are sent on 2026-06-30.

NSPW 2026 invites three types of submissions: Regular submissions present a new approach (paradigm) to a security problem or critique existing approaches. While regular submissions may present research results (mathematical or experimental), unlike papers submitted to most computer security venues, these results should not be the focus of the submission; instead, the change in approach should be the focus. Theme Submissions are focused on “The End of Security?” and should explain the connection with the theme in the justification statement (see below). They follow the format of a regular submission. Implementation Submissions explore implementing previous NSPW submissions. Historic NSPW submissions often propose new paradigms but do not extend to implementation. These submissions should clearly cite which previous work(s) is being referenced and how the current submission extends beyond the original scope. Original authors may be involved or not; if not, they will be offered the chance to comment on the submission. NSPW has an optional theme each year to encourage submissions in specific areas of interest or importance. The theme for NSPW 2026 is The End of Security?. Relevant topics for this theme include: Legacy technology, out of service devices and IoT Support and end of support lifecycles Negotiations of security and usability, security and cost, security and other values Goals, measures and cut-off points for security work (when is it enough? Will security ever end?) Risk Management Threat modelling and preparedness Detection and non-detection of incidents, incident response and forensics (What can (not) be detected in formal testing, verification and auditing?) Science studies of security research beyond fixing and solutionism Securitization and conflicting values and practices The consequences of the end of security Mundane security work, the acceptance of insecurity, insecurity as normal AI supported attacks vectors, the role of AI in the end of security New paradigms for security beyond assurance, control and solutions Other interpretations of The End of Security? are welcome.
