ACISP 2025: Call for Papers

The 30th Australasian Conference on Information Security and Privacy (ACISP 2025) seeks original papers presenting novel research results in all aspects of information security and privacy. This 30th anniversary of ACISP will take place in its inception of the conference, Wollongong. We welcome papers presenting theories, techniques, implementations, applications and practical experiences on a variety of topics.

Topics of Interest

• Network security
• Privacy attacks and defenses
• Privacy enhancing technologies

Systematization of Knowledge (SoK) Papers

This year, we also solicit systematization of knowledge (SoK) papers that evaluate, systematize and contextualize existing knowledge for topics of broad interest to the cybersecurity community. Examples of SoK papers include papers that provide an important new viewpoint on an established, major research area, support or challenge long-held beliefs in such an area with compelling evidence, or provide an extensive and realistic evaluation and comparison of competing approaches to solving specific security problems.

SoK papers must include the prefix "SoK:" in the title of the paper and will be reviewed by the full PC. They will be accepted based on their treatment of existing work and value to the community.

Instructions for Authors

ACISP 2025 will have two rounds of submission. The first round will have the results including reject, major revision, and accept. For the major revision, authors are encouraged to submit the updated manuscripts to round two. Round two only includes accept and reject.

All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not submitted to another conference or journal for consideration of publication. Submissions must be fully anonymous with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references. Submissions must be written in English and have at most 20 pages including bibliography using Springer's LNCS package with no changes to the style. Submissions can exceed 20 pages, but any content beyond 20 pages should be placed in the Appendix. Papers should be sufficiently intelligible and self-contained without appendices so that PC members can make decisions without reading appendices. Submissions not meeting the submission guidelines risk rejection regardless of their merits.

The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag as a volume of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Accepted papers will be limited to 20 pages (including bibliography and appendices) in LNCS format. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference and present their paper.
