The Symposium on Information Theoretic Approaches to Security and Privacy will take place during IEEE GlobalSIP 2016 in Washington, D.C., USA, Dec 7-9, 2016. Previously unpublished contributions in information theoretic security and privacy for information systems are solicited, including (but not limited to):

• Secrecy capacity of wireless channels 

• Secure communication under adversarial attacks 

• Practical code design for physical layer security 

• Secure cross-layer design techniques 

• Jamming-assisted secure wireless transmission 

• Secret key generation and agreement 

• Information theoretic authentication 

• Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) 

• Differential Privacy and other Privacy-Preserving Techniques 

• Privacy in Smart Grid Communications 

• Practical and implementation issues for communication systems, data storage, smart grid, and internet of things

The  symposium features two keynotes given by world leading researchers in the field:

• H. Vincent Poor 

• Ashish Khisti

Submitted papers should be of sufficient length and detail for review by experts in the field. Final papers will be limited to 6 pages in length in the standard IEEE conference paper format. Accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore.
