We solicit papers on attacks and defenses on current and future DRAM technologies. In addition, we also welcome experimental papers describing tools and methodologies for testing DRAM security. The program committee will favor papers that bring new insights, debunk previously held beliefs, re-visit assumptions, present new attacks and defenses, replicate prior art, or put forward controversial points of view. We will also consider position papers, especially from the industry, that outline design and process challenges affecting DRAM security or describe state-of-the-art DRAM defenses.
Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal. The authors must use hotcrp for submitting their papers. Papers must be formatted for US letter (not A4) size paper using the Microsoft Word or LaTeX templates provided on the IEEE website. The length of the submitted papers should be 5 pages at maximum, excluding references. Appendices can be provided (but may not be reviewed), while the main body of the paper should be self-contained. Paper submissions will go through a double-blind reviewing process by the DRAMSec program committee and should not include author names or affiliations.
At least one author for each accepted paper is required to present the paper at the workshop. We expect that at least some papers at DRAMSec would represent “work-in-progress” projects. There are no published proceedings for DRAMSec, so authors of presented DRAMSec papers could choose to extend their work to full-length conference or journal papers later.
