The IEEE European Symposium on Security and Privacy (Euro S&P) is the younger and more adventurous sibling conference of the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy (“Oakland” or “NorCal S&P”) conference. It is a premier forum for computer security and privacy research, presenting the latest developments and bringing together researchers and practitioners.

We solicit previously unpublished papers offering novel research contributions in security or privacy, as well as Systematization of Knowledge (SoK) papers that systematize previous results. EuroS&P is interested in all aspects of applied computer security and privacy. We especially encourage papers that are far-reaching and risky, provided those papers show sufficient promise for creating interesting discussions and usefully questioning widely-held beliefs. Papers without a clear connection to security or privacy will be considered out of scope and may be desk-rejected without full review.

Systematization of Knowledge Papers

We solicit Systematization of Knowledge (SoK) papers that evaluate, systematize, and contextualize existing knowledge, as such papers can provide a high value to our community. Suitable papers are those that provide an important new viewpoint on an established, major research area; support or challenge long-held beliefs in such an area with compelling evidence; or present a convincing, comprehensive new taxonomy of such an area. Survey papers without such insights are not appropriate. Submissions will be distinguished by the prefix "SoK:" in the title. They will be reviewed by the full PC and held to the same standards as traditional research papers, except instead of emphasizing novel research contributions, the emphasis will be on their value to the community. Accepted papers will be presented at the symposium and included in the proceedings.

Symposium Event & Presentation

The number of papers accepted to IEEE Euro S&P continues to grow each year. Due to conference venue limitations and costs, each accepted paper will have: (a) a short-talk presentation (e.g., 5-10 minutes, length determined based on the number of accepted papers) and (b) a poster presentation immediately following the talk session containing the presentation. All accepted papers are required to present both a short talk and a poster.
