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, pairs, Clermont-ferrand, Quebec city, Nancy and Montreal, this
12th edition of the FPS symposium will be held in Toulouse, France.

The aim of FPS 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:

* Access control languages

* Blockchain-based systems: Strengths, Weaknesses and Limitations

* Code reverse engineering and vulnerability exploitation

* Computer and network security

* Cryptography & cryptanalysis

* Data mining & watermarking

* Distributed security protocols & policies

* Formal foundations in information or operational security

* Identity management

* Information theoretic security

* Malware, botnet and advanced persistent threats

* Privacy & sensitive data management

* Policy-based distributed information systems

* Policy-based security architectures

* Security & privacy in digital currencies

* Security & privacy in social networks

* Security in sensor networks and RFIDs

* Security of big-data

* Security of cloud computing, grid computing

* Security of distributed embedded middleware

* Security of P2P systems

* Security of service oriented architectures

* Security management and security policies

* Side channel & physical attacks

* Social engineering

* Threat analysis and trust management


Publication:
-----------

As in previous editions, 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.



Submissions Guidelines:
----------------------

All submissions must be written in English. Full papers should be at
most 16 pages, including the bibliography and the appendices. Committee
members are not required to read the appendices, so the paper should be
intelligible without them. Short and Position papers should be up to 8
pages. Authors should indicate whether their paper is a “Position paper”
to differentiate them from regular ones (“Position paper” should be
mentioned in the title).

Authors must submit their papers by August 30, 2019, using the EasyChair
web site (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fps2019) and following
the requirements stated there. All papers will be refereed. The
submitted contribution should be formatted according to Springer’s LNCS
style (TeX, Word). Submissions by PhD students as well as surveys and
controversial ideas are encouraged. Case studies (successful or not) are
also encouraged.
