                                sponsored by 
        IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Security and Privacy 
                             in cooperation with 
          The International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR)

Since 1980, the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy has been the
premier forum for the presentation of developments in computer
security and electronic privacy, and for bringing together researchers
and practitioners in the field.

Previously unpublished papers offering novel research contributions in
any aspect of computer security or electronic privacy are solicited
for submission to the 2001 symposium. Papers may represent advances in
the theory, design, implementation, analysis, or empirical evaluation
of secure systems, either for general use or for specific application
domains. We particularly welcome papers that help us continue our
re-established emphasis on electronic privacy.  Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to, the following:

                      Commercial and industrial security 
                                                Electronic privacy 
                      Mobile code and agent security 
                                                Distributed systems security 
                      Network security 
                                                Anonymity 
                      Data integrity 
                                                Access control and audit 
                      Information flow 
                                                Security verification 
                      Viruses and other malicious code 
                                                Security protocols 
                      Authentication 
                                                Biometrics 
                      Smartcards 
                                                Electronic commerce 
                      Intrusion detection 
                                                Database security 
                      Language-based security 
                                                Denial of service 


                      INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with proceedings. Papers should be at most 15 pages
excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices (using 11-point
font, single column format, and reasonable margins on 8.5"x11" or A4
paper), and at most 25 pages total. Committee members are not required
to read the appendices, so the paper should be intelligible without
them. Papers should be submitted in a form suitable for anonymous
review: remove author names and affiliations from the title page, and
avoid explicit self-referencing in the text.

To submit a paper, enter it at URL 
http://cmt.research.microsoft.com/SSP2001/ in Portable Document
Format (.pdf) or as a Postscript file (.ps).

Submissions received after the submission deadline or failing to
conform to the guidelines above risk rejection without consideration
of their merits. Where possible all further communications to authors
will be via email.

                    Paper proposals due: 
                                                November 7, 2000
