* Computer and network forensics
* Cyber deterrence strategies
* Data and application security
* Data protection and integrity
* Game-theoretic security technologies
* Implementation and evaluation of networked security systems
* Information-theoretic security
* Intrusion detection, prevention, and response
* Key management, public key infrastructures, certification, 
  revocation, and authentication
* Malware detection and mitigation
* Security metrics and models
* Physical-layer and cross-layer security technologies
* Security and privacy for big data
* Security and privacy for data and network outsourcing services
* Security and privacy for mobile and wearable devices
* Security and privacy in cellular networks
* Security and privacy in cloud and edge computing
* Internet Security: Protocols, standards, measurements

* Security and privacy in cyber-physical systems
* Security and privacy in emerging wireless technologies and 
  applications (dynamic spectrum sharing, cognitive radio networks, 
  millimeter wave communications, MIMO systems, smart/connected 
  vehicles, UAS, etc.)
* Security and privacy in peer-to-peer and overlay networks
* Security and privacy in WiFi, ad hoc, mesh, sensor, vehicular,
  body-area, disruption/delay tolerant, and social networks
* Security and privacy in smart cities, smart and connected health, 
  IoT, and RFID systems
* Security for critical infrastructures (smart grids, 
  transportation systems, etc.)
* Security for future Internet architectures and designs
* Security for software-defined and data center networks
* Security in machine learning
* Social, economic, and policy issues of trust, security, and privacy
* Traffic analysis
* Usable security and privacy
