Call
for Papers for the First International Conference on Ubiquitous Security
(UbiSec 2021)

Introduction
The First International Conference on
Ubiquitous Security (UbiSec 2021) 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 2021 Conference ("The Conference" for short) is the First 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.
Following 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.
Scope and Interests
Topics of particular interest include, but
not limited to:
Track 1: Cyberspace Security
Track 2: Cyberspace Privacy
Track 3: Cyberspace Anonymity
Submission and Publication Information
All presented papers in the conference will be published in the conference proceedings with Springer Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS). Papers must be clearly presented in English, must not exceed 14 pages
in Springer CCIS format (or up to 20 pages with the pages over length charge),
including tables, figures, references and appendices.
Papers should be submitted through the EasyChair paper submission system at the conference website. Distinguished papers,
after
further revisions, will be considered for possible publication in SCI &
EI indexed special issues of prestigious international journals. The program committee will select and
give two or three "Best Paper Awards" for the conference. By submitting a paper to the
conference, authors assure that if
the paper is accepted, at least one author will attend the conference and
present the paper.
