Description
Theorems and root shells: things you absolutely can not argue with.
Until now, Europe lacked a premier academic symposium on offensive technologies.
ROOTS fills this gap by providing an academic platform to discuss trends in exploitation, reversing, and other offensive techniques and how to protect against them.
ROOTS is co-located with DeepSec 2018.
To facilitate interaction with industry, the ROOTS ticket be will valid for all DeepSec conference tracks on both days, including the industry tracks, and tickets for the industry track will be valid for ROOTS.
Call for paper
Important Dates
Draft paper submission deadline：2018-10-06
Abstract submission deadline：2018-08-26
Author guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Submissions to ROOTS are not limited in page count, but their length should be commensurate with the results; 5-10 pages of two-column PDF using the sigconf template from https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template. We encourage submissions of papers based on results previously presented at industry or hacker conferences, so long as the papers themselves have not been presented elsewhere. We also encourage Systematization of Knowledge (SoK) submissions. The following paper categories are welcome:
- New exploitation techniques and methodologies
- New reverse engineering techniques and methodologies
- The role of exploitation in the science of security
- The role of reverse engineering in the science of security
- New unintended models of programming and execution wherein the program is encoded in data, metadata, descriptors, etc.
- Formal models of exploitation and formal methods for exploitation
- Systematization of knowledge in exploitation
- Systematization of knowledge in reverse engineering
- Exploitation of trending platforms and architectures: IoT, cloud, SDNs, etc.
- Reverse engineering of trending platforms and architectures: IoT, cloud, SDNs, etc.
- Exploitation perspectives on emerging trust models: SGX, blockchains, etc.
