========================
*** Summary: The purpose of this conference is to discuss the many research
problems deriving from studies of existing standards, the development of
revisions to existing standards, and the exploration of completely new
areas of standardisation. This conference is intended to cover the full
spectrum of research on security and privacy standardisation, including,
but not restricted to, work on cryptographic techniques, security
management, security and privacy evaluation criteria, security policy,
network security, privacy and identity management, smart cards and RFID
tags, biometrics, security modules, and industry-specific security
standards.

This year, we would also like to encourage active law researchers in data
protection and privacy to submit to the conference. This aligns with the
presence of the GDPR in the EU. Submissions relating to regulation-related
aspects of Covid-19 technologies, blockchain technology and the IoT are
particularly welcomed. We would also love to see more standardisation
efforts being open to interaction with academics. This follows in the
footsteps of IETF’s design approach for TLS 1.3, which has seen substantial
academic input. Similarly, several post-quantum standardisation efforts
have seen interaction between academia and industry

=========================
***Types of Contributions:
Full paper: discussing original research, answering well-defined research
questions, and presenting full and stable results.
Systematisation of Knowledge (SoK): integrating experience and previous
research, drawing new comprehensive conclusions.
Vision papers: reporting on work in progress or concrete ideas for work
that has yet to begin.
