Call For Papers

=== Workshop on Measurements, Attacks, and Defenses for the Web (MADWeb) 2021 ===
=== Co-located (virtually) with NDSS 2021 ===
=== Workshop Website: https://madweb.work ===

The web connects billions of devices, running a plethora of clients, and serves billions of users every day. To cope with such a widespread adoption, the web constantly changes. This is evident by some browsers that have a release cycle of just six weeks. These rapid changes are not always studied from a security perspective, resulting in new attack vectors that were never observed before.

The proposed workshop aims to attract researchers that work on the intersection of browser evolution and web security. Our goal is to create and sustain a new venue for discussing the rapid changes to browsers from a security perspective, the security implications of current web technologies, how we can protect users now, and make browsers in the future more secure without hindering the evolution of the web.

* Workshop Format

This year’s workshop will be held virtually! Co-located with NDSS 2021.

One author of each accepted paper is expected to present the paper at the workshop. The format will be traditional conference-style research presentations with questions from the audience. Interactive and engaging presentations are welcomed. Following notification to authors, more information will be provided regarding speaking times and other details.

The accepted papers will be made available on the workshop website and the workshop will have official proceedings released. The proceedings are not mandatory and authors can choose to have their papers excluded by selecting “No proceedings” during submission in HotCRP.


* Financial Support

MADWeb will provide limited financial support to speakers and attendees to pay workshop registration fees. Priority will be given to authors of accepted papers, students working in relevant areas of research and coming from under-represented institutions, attendees who have clear financial need, attendees from diverse backgrounds and from under-represented minority communities.

Please add any relevant information under “Financial Support?” to your submission in HotCRP, or contact the PC chairs if you have any questions or special requests.
