**** OVERVIEW ****
WISA is one of the main security research venues hosted by the Korea Institute of Information Security and Cryptology (KIISC) and sponsored by the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning (MSIP), and co-sponsored by the Electronics & Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA), and the National Security Research Institute (NSRI). Especially, in 2020, WISA will celebrate the 30th anniversary for KIISC while going toward its new position as the best contributor to information security applications.

The primary focus of WISA 2020 will be on systems and network security including all other technical and practical aspects of security applications. This year, in particular, we will be inviting participations from researchers working on 5G/6G, AI, Blockchain, V2X, and Advanced IoT who are keen on bringing the latest open security challenges.

**** The areas of interest include, but are not limited to: ****
- Analysis of network and security protocols
- Anonymity and censorship-resistant technologies
- Applications of cryptographic techniques
- Authentication and authorization
- Automated tools for source code/binary analysis
- Automobile security
- Botnet defense
- Blockchain security
- Critical infrastructure security
- Denial-of-service attacks and countermeasures
- Digital Forensics
- Embedded systems security
- Exploit techniques and automation
- Hardware and physical security
- HCI security and privacy
- Intrusion detection and prevention
- Malware analysis
- Mobile/wireless/cellular system security
