A Premier Cybersecurity Conference

The Network and Distributed System Symposium (NDSS) fosters information exchange among researchers and practitioners of network and distributed system security. A major goal is to encourage and enable the Internet community to develop, deploy, and advance the state of available network and distributed systems security technology.

Why NDSS?

  • Frequent security breaches erode customer trust
  • Open access to the highest quality peer reviewed security research
  • Development of the next generation of leaders in security research and practices

Who Attends

The audience includes those interested in practical aspects of network and distributed system security, with a focus on actual system design and implementation.

  • University Researchers and Educators
  • Chief Technology and Privacy Officers
  • Security Analysts and System Administrators
  • Operations and Security Managers

The NDSS Difference

At NDSS, participants benefit from:

  • Presentations of solution-oriented scientific and technical papers, by leaders in the field
  • Experts debating new and practical approaches to security problems
  • Extended question and answer sessions following all presentations
  • Informal discussions with colleagues over the three-day period

The conference is unique as one of the most applied conferences, with a mix of academic and industry participation, and its publication model is fully open: All publications are freely available on the NDSS portion of the Internet Society website.

Conference development is led by a steering group of academic and industry security professionals. Papers are peer reviewed and selected by a program committee.

Both the steering group and the program committee members are volunteers.
