An IEEE EuroS&P and EuroCrypt Affiliated Workshop
(EuroS&P 2017)
29 April 2017
Paris, France
Call for Papers:
The Security and Privacy on the Blockchain Workshop is the first IEEE forum for research on the security and privacy properties of blockchains as a solution for transactional systems, co-located with EuroCrypt and EuroS&P. We solicit previously unpublished papers offering novel contributions in both Bitcoin and wider blockchain research. Papers may present advances in the theory, design, implementation, analysis, verification, or empirical evaluation and measurement of existing systems. Papers that shed new light on past or informally known results by means of sound formal theory or thorough empirical analysis are welcome.
Topics of Interest include:
- Novel attacks on blockchain technologies
- Improvements to core blockchain cryptographic primitives
- Compact ring signatures
- Compact range proofs
- Privacy-Preserving Signature Aggregation
- (De) anonymization of blockchain records
- Improvements of SNARKs for blockchain technologies
- Formal verification of smart contracts
- The security of SPV models
- Game theoretic analysis of proof-of-work
- Relevant Systematization of Knowledge papers
- Security and privacy trade-offs related to scalability and decentralization
This topic list is not meant to be exhaustive. S&B is interested in all aspects of the blockchain research relating to security and privacy. Papers that are considered out of scope may be rejected without full review. We encourage submissions that are "far-reaching" and "risky."
Important Dates:
- Deadline for submission of papers: 14 December 2016
- Acceptance notification: 13 January 2017
- Program Announced: 16 February 2017
