Important Dates =============== * Submission Deadline: *Mon 18 Nov 2024* * Acceptance Notification: *Thu 12 Dec 2024* * Workshop: Mon 20 Jan 2025 Submission website: https://prisc25.hotcrp.com Workshop website: https://popl25.sigplan.org/home/prisc-2025 ================================================ Call for Presentations: PriSC @ POPL 2025 ================================================ Secure compilation is an emerging field that puts together advances in security, programming languages, compilers, verification, systems, and hardware architectures in order to build compilers that eliminate many of today's security vulnerabilities. 9th Workshop on Principles of Secure Compilation (PriSC 2025) ============================================================= The Workshop on Principles of Secure Compilation (PriSC) is an informal 1-day workshop without any proceedings. The goal of this workshop is to identify interesting research directions and open challenges and to bring together researchers interested in working on building secure compilation chains, on developing proof techniques and verification tools, and on designing software or hardware enforcement mechanisms for secure compilation. The 9th edition of PriSC will be held on January 20 in Denver, Colorado, United States together with the ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages (POPL), 2025. Presentation Proposals and Attending the Workshop ================================================= Anyone interested in presenting at the workshop should submit an extended abstract (up to 2 pages, details below) covering past, ongoing, or future work. Any topic that could be of interest to secure compilation is in scope. Secure compilation should be interpreted broadly to include techniques that span programming languages, architecture, systems and their combination. Presentations that provide a useful outside view or challenge the community are also welcome. This includes presentations on new attack vectors such as microarchitectural side-channels, whose defenses could benefit from compiler techniques. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Attacker models for secure compiler chains. * Secure compiler properties: fully abstract compilation and similar properties, memory safety, control-flow integrity, preservation of safety, information flow and other (hyper-)properties against adversarial contexts, secure multi-language interoperability. * Secure interaction between different programming languages: foreign function interfaces, gradual types, securely combining different memory management strategies. * Enforcement mechanisms and low-level security primitives: static checking, program verification, typed assembly languages, reference monitoring, program rewriting, software-based isolation/hiding techniques (SFI, crypto-based, randomization-based, OS/hypervisor-based), security-oriented architectural features such as Intel's SGX, MPX and MPK, capability machines, side-channel defenses, object capabilities. * Experimental evaluation and applications of secure compilers. * Proof methods relevant to compilation: (bi)simulation, logical relations, game semantics, trace semantics, multi-language semantics, embedded interpreters. * Formal verification of secure compilation chains (protection mechanisms, compilers, linkers, loaders), machine-checked proofs, translation validation, property-based testing. Guidelines for Submitting Extended Abstracts ============================================ Extended abstracts should be submitted in PDF format and not exceed 2 pages (references not included). They should be formatted in two-column layout, 10pt font, and be printable on A4 and US Letter sized paper. We recommend using the new acmart LaTeX style in sigplan mode. Submissions are not anonymous and should provide sufficient detail to be assessed by the program committee. Presentation at the workshop does not preclude publication elsewhere.
