First International Workshop on Privacy and Security in AR, VR, and XR 
(SePAR)
June 4th-7th, 2024 - Perth, Australia
https://separ-workshop.github.io/

The  Security and Privacy of AR, VR, and XR (SePAR) workshop aims to 
raise awareness and advocate for novel solutions regarding security 
vulnerabilities and privacy risks of XR applications. It will be held in 
Perth, Australia, in conjunction with the 25th IEEE International 
Symposium on a World of Wireless,  Mobile and Multimedia Networks 
(WoWMoM). We are lookingfor new and innovative work, 
includingin-progressdevelopments, which can raise awareness and 
interesting discussions and potentially be published as animproved paper 
at a first-tier venue,after.

The  workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners from  
academia, industry, and government to discuss the latest advances in 
AR/VR security and privacy topics, including:
* Security: Threats to AR/VR systems and applications, and defense 
mechanisms.
* Privacy: Collection and use of personal data in AR/VR systems, user 
privacy controls, and privacy enhancing technologies.
* Policy and regulation: Legal and ethical implications of AR/VR, and 
regulatory frameworks.
* In-Network Computing: to preserve user privacy as a default feature of 
networks

*** Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Studies on the disclosure of threats in XR applications
* Attacks on XR applications and users on the network level
* Privacy and utility metrics in the context of VR and AR
* Techniques for anonymization or removal of sensitive information from 
XR data streams
* Privacy-enhancing techniques for XR networking traffic
* Anomaly detection in encrypted XR traffic
* Analysis of encryption protocols used in the context of XR on all 
network layers
* Privacy policies in the context of XR applications
* Privacy preserving as a virtualized network function
* Programmable networks for delay-sensitive applications such as AR/XR

*** Important Dates:
* Paper submission deadline: February 23rd, 2024
* Notification of acceptance: March 31st, 2024
* Camera-ready version due: April 14, 2024
* Workshop date: June 4th, 2024 (tentative)
