Computer Security Conference Ranking and Statistic

Guofei Gu

Ranking

Note:

  • How to judge how good a conference is? In my opinion, here are several criteria:
  • Acceptance ratio: definitely an important metric (maybe the easiest metric that can be quantified), but not the only metric
  • Paper quality and impact: how many classic papers are from this conference? how much impact do papers from this conference have on the community? are they well cited and studied?
  • Committee member quality: what's the quality of TPC members? are they noted researchers in this area? This is an important factor because they will affect the quality of submission (good papers will prefer to submit to the conference with noted researchers in the committee), and control the quality of accepted papers.
  • Attendee/Paper number ratio: another quantified metric. This somehow reflects the influence of this conference on the community
  • Location: a beautiful place has some attraction. In addition, many researchers (but not all) are not very willing to travel to other countries due to limited funding or time (or VISA problem...), so they just submit papers to local conferences. Thus, normally the conferences located in USA are better than in Europe, which is also better than in Asia.
  • History: a conference with a long history may have a good tradition and reputation
  • Industry connection: this somehow reflects the impact on the industry. Normally, conferences on more applied techniques will attract more industry partners (so have more money to improve the quality of conference)
  • This ranking list is only in my opinion. It is not official, nor accurate, only for reference. Some good workshops are also included.
  • I'm probably biased because I'm mainly a network/system security researcher. Notify me if you have different views, or you find significant conferences missing/bias. I'm more than happy to hear from you.
  • Some conferences are arguably better belonging to rank 1.5 or 2.5. At this time, I'm not going to differentiate these. Let me know if you have some strong comments.
  • Long time ago, I maintained a general computer science conference ranking (a mirror of my previous Georgia Tech page).

Acceptance Ratio Statistic

Note:

  • This could be the most complete (and accurate?) list of computer security conference statistic you can find on Internet. There are still some blanks in this list. If you have any reliable source of these information (or some other security conferences), please email me (guofei AT cs.tamu.edu). Thanks.
  • You can see from the following statistic, security conferences are becoming harder and harder to get in in the recent five years! And I think this trend will possible continue in the near future.

Oakland：95分，全称IEEE Symposium on Security & Privacy，每年都在Oakland召开。
之所以不简称S&P，是为了跟一个magazine----IEEE Security & Privacy区分开来。被认
为是计算机安全的最高会议，比ACM的CCS更受尊敬。该会自称接受一切与计算机安全的文
章，但我感觉其以应用型为主，对理论性的文章尤其crypto-flavor的文章非常排斥。

CCS：92分，ACM SIGSAC的年会。该会宣称只接受practical papers，然而事实上却是安全
方面最diversified的会议，从纯粹密码学的文章到非常应用性的文章都有。传统上该会议
的politics比较严重，但今年的program committee非常强大，有望使会议质量进一步提高
。

USENIX Security：91分。USENIX是systems research方面的重要组织，主办了systems方面的若干重要会议，如OSDI（操作系统的第二会议）等。USENIX Security Symposium则是systems security的著名会议，文章基本陷于hardcore systems类型。

NDSS：90分，很好的一个关于网络和分布式系统安全的会议，偏应用型。

ESORICS：88分，欧洲的计算机安全年会。跟CCS一样广泛的范围，包容性甚至更强。

CSFW：85分，一个小型的workshop，然而在安全方面有一定影响。算是为数不多的受到尊
敬的workshops之一。

ACSAC：82分？一个纯粹应用型的安全会议，纯粹到其文章大部分都很难算作传统意义上的
research papers。但其研究的问题都非常的实用和有趣。

SACMAT：82分？Access control方面的一个比较重要的会议。

SecureComm：今年刚刚办起来的网络安全会议。从其program commitee来看，起点很高。
但能有多大影响还要过一段时间才能知道。

***********************************

CRYPTO（95分），EUROCRYPT（94分），ASIACRYPT（90分）：IACR的三大年会，在“我知
道的几个理论会议”里已经写过。

TCC（87分）：一个新会议，focused on 密码学理论。起点很高，但能有多大影响还要过一段时间才能知道

ACNS（84分？）：密码学与网络安全结合的会议。历史很短，但接受率颇低（百分之十五
以下）。
