Scope
-----

Protecting the communication and data infrastructure of an
increasingly inter-connected world has become vital to the normal
functioning of all aspects of our world. Security has emerged as an
important scientific discipline whose many multifaceted complexities
deserve the attention and synergy of the mathematical, computer
science and engineering communities.

After the previous meetings held in La Rochelle, Montreal, Grenoble,
Toronto and Paris, this 7th edition of the FPS symposium will be held
at Montreal.

The aim of this event is to discuss and exchange theoretical and
practical ideas that address security issues in inter-connected
systems. It aims to provide scientific presentations as well as to
establish links, promote scientific collaboration, joint research
programs, and student exchanges between institutions involved in this
important and fast moving research field.

We also invite papers from researchers and practitioners working in
security, privacy, trustworthy data systems and related areas to
submit their original papers. The main topics, but not limited to,
include:

* Security in Service Oriented Architecture & Web Services
* Security Administration & Policy-based Security Architectures
* Access Control Languages
* Cryptography & Cryptanalysis
* Threat Analysis
* Privacy & Sensitive Data Management
* Security on P2P Systems and their Applications
* Policy-based Distributed Information Systems and Security Policies
* Security in Sensor Networks and RFID
* Security of Cloud Computing, Grid Computing and their Applications
* Trust Management
* Security of Distributed Embedded Middleware
* Distributed Security Protocols
* Privacy in Social Networks
* Formal foundations in Information Security
* Side-channel analysis and Fault injection attacks
* Countermeasures against physical attacks
* Protected implementations, security by design
* Formal Verification of security properties
* Methods and Platforms for evaluation of attacks and countermeasures
* Malware, botnets, binary analysis


Submissions Guidelines
----------------------

Full papers should be at most 16 pages (using 11-point font),
excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices. Position
papers, as well as extended abstract and contributed talks, should be
up to 8 pages (using 11-point font). Committee members are not
required to read the appendices, so the paper should be intelligible
without them. All submissions must be written in English. Authors must
submit their papers by the deadline indicated below, using the
EasyChair web site (using the link
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fps2014) and following
the requirements stated there. All papers will be refereed. The
submitted contribution should be formatted according to Springer's
LNCS style. Submissions by PhD students as well as surveys and
controversial ideas are encouraged. Case studies (successful or not)
are also encouraged.

Authors should indicate whether their paper is a "position paper" to
differentiate them from regular ones (you mention "Position paper" in
the title).


Publication
-----------

Proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes
in Computer Science (LNCS) series. At least one author of each
accepted paper must register to the symposium, by the date indicated
by the organizers, and present the paper.
