=============================================
Call for Participation for Secure Compilation Workshop (PriSC @ POPL'18)
=============================================

Secure compilation is an emerging field that puts together advances in
programming languages, security, verification, systems, compilers, and
hardware architectures in order to devise secure compiler chains that
eliminate many of today's low-level vulnerabilities. Secure
compilation aims to protect high-level language abstractions in
compiled code, even against adversarial low-level contexts, and to
allow sound reasoning about security in the source language. The
emerging secure compilation community aims to achieve this by:
identifying and formalizing properties that secure compilers must
possess; devising efficient enforcement mechanisms; and developing
effective verification and proof techniques.

=======================================
2nd Workshop on Principles of Secure Compilation (PriSC 2018)
=======================================

The Workshop on Principles of Secure Compilation (PriSC) is a new
informal 1-day workshop without any proceedings. The goal is to
identify interesting research directions and open challenges and to
bring together researchers interested in secure compilation.

The 2nd PriSC edition will be held on Saturday, 13 January 2018, in
Los Angeles, together with the ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT Symposium on
Principles of Programming Languages (POPL).

===================
Participation and Registration
===================

PriSC will be held on Saturday, 13 Jan 2018 at the POPL'18 venue
(Omni Hotel LA). To participate, please register through the POPL
registration system: https://popl18.sigplan.org/attending/Registration

POPL early registration rate ends on 10 December 2017.

============
Call for Short Talks
============

We also have a short talks session, where participants get 5 minutes
to present intriguing ideas, advertise ongoing work, etc.  Anyone
interested in giving a short 5-minute talk should submit an
abstract. Any topic that could be of interest to the emerging secure
compilation community is in scope. Presentations that provide a useful
outside view or challenge the community are also welcome.

Topics of interest include but are **not** limited to:

- attacker models for secure compiler chains

- secure compilation properties: full abstraction, memory safety,
    control-flow integrity, preserving non-interference or
    (hyper-)properties against adversarial contexts,
    secure multi-language interoperability

- enforcement mechanisms: static checking, program verification,
    reference monitoring, program rewriting, software fault isolation,
    system-level protection, secure hardware, crypto, randomization

- experimental evaluation and applications of secure compilation

- proof methods: (bi)simulation, logical relations, game semantics,
    multi-language semantics, embedded interpreters

- formal verification of secure compilation chain (protection
    mechanisms, compilers, linkers, loaders), machine-checked proofs,
    translation validation, property-based testing

============================
Guidelines for Submitting Short Talk Abstracts
============================

Abstracts should be submitted in text format and are not anonymous

Giving a talk at the workshop does not preclude publication elsewhere.

Please submit your abstracts at https://prisc18short.hotcrp.com
