I have already read the post of best security conferences, but am not able to find any academic security conferences, even through Microsoft Academic Search.

I admit this question is quite localized, but still hope to find an answer. Any list, source (of both security specific and general computing) will be greatly appreciated. In addition please describe how you learned about this conference or list

I will be collecting the answers in a unified Google Spreadsheet for community use.

  • Are you looking for conferences that do peer review and publish proceedings? Or just a generally academic focus? – nealmcb Apr 03 '11 at 00:41
  • What are you looking for? Are you really looking for an academic conference in any aspect of computer security whatsoever, as long as it is in the UK? I'm not sure that's going to make sense, but if that's what you want, we can try to help. – D.W. Apr 03 '11 at 02:53
  • @nealmcb, the former. –  Apr 03 '11 at 06:18
  • @D.W. Yes, that is what I want.... –  Apr 03 '11 at 06:18
  • @Dante - almost all the conferences I am aware of, I find out about through my memberships of bodies or through my network of contacts. – Rory Alsop Apr 03 '11 at 08:10

    @Dante, Sure! I glanced through several calendars of academic computer security conferences, and clicked around a bit to determine locations for the big ones: [IEEE Cipher's calendar](http://www.ieee-security.org/Calendar/cipher-hypercalendar.html), [UCL's list of call for papers](http://www.uclouvain.be/crypto/callforpapers/forthcoming), [IACR's list](http://www.iacr.org/events/), [Cambridge's old list](http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/conferences/), [some random list found via Google](http://www.conference-service.com/conferences/information-security.html). – D.W.

The Workshop on Information Systems Security Engineering (WISSE'11) will be held in London in June 2011. I have no prior experience with this workshop and I have no clue about whether it is a quality venue that's worth your time.

Update - for an academic, these will be appropriate:

B-Sides London this month - some commercial, but a lot of research, both theoretical and applied

DC-4420 regular meetings - not commercial

Scottish Centre of Excellence for Security and Cybercrime Symposium - hosted by universities and trying to bridge the gap between academics and industry

  • I am not looking for commercial conferences. I am looking for academical ones.... –  Apr 02 '11 at 16:23
  • @Dante - hopefully that update is useful – Rory Alsop Apr 02 '11 at 19:11
  • to be honest, I do not consider any of these to be academic conferences. One good tip-off: they don't have a "call for papers", requesting submission of papers that will then be peer reviewed and presented at the conference. – D.W. Apr 03 '11 at 03:04
  • @DW - ahhh, hadn't realised. The CoE is very academic though I don't think papers get peer reviewed. – Rory Alsop Apr 03 '11 at 10:20

  • Actually, this is the only conference occurred to me when I pressed _post your question_. But this conference is _by invitation_ as far as I am concerned. –  Apr 03 '11 at 06:31
