EdgeSP: The Fourth ACM/IEEE Workshop on
Security and Privacy in Edge Computing


Call for Papers

As the technologies of edge computing continue to advance, new security and privacy challenges and opportunities emerge, leading to the flourishing research on and fast development of various security solutions. The aim of this workshop is to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to present advances in security and privacy enhancing technologies in the emerging field of edge computing. The workshop will be co-located with the Sixth ACM/IEEE Symposium on Edge Computing (SEC), December 14-17, 2021, in San Jose, CA, USA.


All papers presented at the workshop will be included in the IEEE Digital Library. Extended versions of accepted papers will be recommended for publication in Elsevier High-Confidence Computing.


We invite authors to submit previously unpublished papers offering novel research contributions addressing security and privacy issues in edge computing. Topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Anonymity
  • Attacks and defences
  • Authentication
  • Side-channel attacks and defences for edge computing
  • Intrusion detection and prevention
  • Key Management for ddge computing
  • Mobile and Web security and privacy
  • IoT security and privacy on edge computing
