Call for Papers (CFPs) of The 4th International Conference on Ubiquitous
Security (UbiSec 2024)
Changsha, China, December 29 - 31, 2024

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

Welcome to participate in UbiSec 2024, Changsha, China, December 29 - 31,
2024! Changsha is a famous historical and cultural city with a variety of
interest. This city has been an important grain production base in China
since ancient times. The green and verdant Mt. Yuelu stands in the city and
Xiangjiang River is clear as a mirror passing through the city. Orange Isle
lies in the heart of the river. In particular, Changsha is very close to
Chairman Mao's former residence within one-hour driving. Nowadays, being an
intellectual center, Changsha has over 100 research institutions and
engineering laboratories. Hybrid rice breeding and the Tianhe supercomputer
are the main scientific research achievements.

The 4th International Conference on Ubiquitous Security (UbiSec 2024) stems
from three conference/symposium/workshop series:

(1) The well-established SpaCCS conference series with Springer LNCS:
UbiSec is inspired by the SpaCCS style of three tracks (Security, Privacy,
and Anonymity, "Spa" for short), which covers "Big Security" leveraging
computation, communication and storage ("CCS" for short) systems and
networks. UbiSec extends this style with three new tracks: Cyberspace
Security, Cyberspace Privacy, and Cyberspace Anonymity.

(2) The UbiSafe symposium series: UbiSec follows the UbiSafe vision on
"Ubiquitous Safety", also meaning that "YOU (will) BE SAFE" (pronounced
"UbiSafe"). UbiSec extends this vision to "Ubiquitous Security", using "Big
Security" to embrace NOT ONLY security, privacy and anonymity, BUT ALSO
safety, reliability, dependability, trustworthiness and more, also meaning
that "YOU (will) BE SEC(ure)" (pronounced "UbiSec").

(3) The IWCSS workshop series: UbiSec follows the IWCSS theme on
"Cyberspace Security", with "Cyberspace" as the 5th national sovereign
space besides the traditional four domains of land, sea, air, and
aerospace. UbiSec extends this theme to "Ubiquitous Security", meaning that
cyberspace will be secure, physical world will be secure, social networking
systems will be secure, and thus "YOU (will) BE SECure"!

The UbiSec 2024 Conference ("The Conference" for short) is the fourth event
in the series of conferences/symposia/workshops which are devoted to
security, privacy and anonymity in cyberspace, physical world, and social
networks. The Conference covers many dimensions including security
algorithms and architectures, privacy-aware policies, regulations and
techniques, anonymous computation and communication, encompassing
fundamental theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and
commercial application systems for cyberspace, physical world, and social
networking systems. As applications of computer and information technology
have permeated in every aspect of our daily life, the issues of security,
privacy, and anonymity have become increasingly critical. The Conference
will provide a forum for world-class researchers to gather and share their
research achievements, emerging ideas and trends in the highly challenging
research fields.

UbiSec 2024 follows the UbiSec 2023 conference in Exeter, UbiSec 2022
conference in Zhangjiajie and the UbiSec 2021 in Guangzhou, and also the
traditions of previous successful SpaCCS/UbiSafe/IWCSS
conference/symposium/workshop series, held in Nanjing, China (SpaCCS
2020/UbiSafe 2020), Guangzhou,China (IWCSS 2020); Altanta, USA (SpaCCS
2019/UbiSafe 2019), Guangzhou, China (IWCSS 2019); Melbourne, Australia
(SpaCCS 2018/UbiSafe 2018), Guangzhou China (IWCSS 2018); Guangzhou, China
(SpaCCS 2017/UbiSafe 2017/IWCSS 2017); Zhangjiajie, China (SpaCCS
2016/UbiSafe 2016); Helsinki, Finland (UbiSafe 2015); Beijing, China
(UbiSafe 2014); Melbourne, Australia (UbiSafe 2013); Liverpool, UK (UbiSafe
2012); Changsha, China (UbiSafe 2011); Chengdu China (UbiSafe 2009); and
Niagara Falls, Canada (UbiSafe 2007). The conference aims at bringing
together researchers and practitioners in the world working in the research
fields of security, privacy, and anonymity aspects of computer systems and
networks. The conference will focus on broad areas of architectures,
algorithms, techniques, and applications for cyberspace security,
cyberspace privacy, and cyberspace anonymity.
