Nearly 580 leading academics, industry researchers, and security practitioners from around the world attended the 29th Network and Distributed Systems Security (NDSS) Symposium in April, to discuss the latest research and developments in Internet security and to exchange ideas.
The Internet Society has proudly hosted the NDSS Symposium since 1993 to foster the next generation of Internet security experts and to support open, accessible, and collaborative security to research to help strengthen the Internet. The event is designed to encourage and enable the Internet community to apply, deploy, and advance the state of practical security technologies.
The five-day event, held in San Diego and online, offered keynote presentations from Alex Gantman (Qualcomm Technologies Inc.) and Srini Devadas (MIT), presentations of over 80 top-tier, peer-reviewed papers, and over 30 posters. Attendees were able to attend five co-located workshops and a co-located symposium, and had plenty of opportunity to network with their peers.
A chart with two circles showing that of the 563 attendees, 53% were virtual and 47% in-person. 58% were professional and 42% were students.
The event was made possible by 19 sponsors and partners, who generously demonstrate their organization’s support for emerging research and for the next generation of leaders in the security field.
We would also like to thank the NDSS Symposium 2022 General Chair, Carrie Gates (Bank of America), the Program Committee Co-Chairs, Farinaz Koushanfar (University of California San Diego) and Wenyuan Xu (Zhejiang University), the Program Committee, and the Steering Group and Organizing Committee for their hard work and dedication to making this year’s symposium the success that it was.
Open Access to Top-Tier Research
The NDSS Symposium is one of the few security symposia that offers cost-free access to all abstracts, papers, posters, and presentations that are presented during the event to everyone, regardless of whether they attended the event. Open access strengthens collaborative research and encourages practical application of security solutions.
You can find all the papers on the NDSS Symposium website by accessing the program information for each year’s event. Videos of paper presentations are also available on YouTube.
