Scope

The 24th International Conference on Passwords (PasswordsCon 2024) will provide an excellent international forum for sharing knowledge and results in theory, methodology, and application of authentication technologies, focusing on passwords. The conference looks for significant contributions to challenges surrounding user authentication and passwords, both theoretical and practical. The academic part of the conference publishes peer-reviewed papers in the Springer LNCS series Technology and Practice of Passwords (Examples: 2014 in Trondheim/Norway, LNCS 9393; 2015 in Cambridge/UK, LNCS 9551).

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

• We invite both full-length paper submissions and shortpapers that report on finished or ongoing research. Full-papers should be between 12-16 pages (references included). Short papers of early-stage work 6-11 pages (references included). All submissions will go through a single-blind review process.
• Submissions are to be made in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) with version llncs.cls v2.24.
