Workshop on Transparency, Accountability and User Control for a Responsible Internet (TAURIN 2023)

The TAURIN workshop focuses on security mechanisms for the Internet that will help to bring back aspects of “digital sovereignty” to our societies. 

Call For Papers

Our goals and desires with TAURIN are as follows:

TAURIN wants to bundle research efforts and move the security community forward. Hence, the workshop will have (at least) one session dedicated to peer-reviewed papers, another session for invited talks, and a round table discussion session. 

While the focus of TAURIN is technical, we also invite submissions that complement technical results by considering societal dimensions (e.g., business or governance implications). 

Topics of interest for the technical session include but are not limited to the following : 

● Novel security designs for the Internet that focus on controllability, accountability, or transparency 

● Methodologies to make transparency and accountability a reality in security aspects of the Internet 

● Application designs whose security concepts are based on user controllability, accountability, or transparency, including related dimensions (inspection-ability, explainability, responsibility, usability, programmability, sustainability, etc.). 

● Metrics and measurements to assess user controllability, accountability, or transparency in networks 

● Mechanisms to balance transparency and privacy for network operators 

● Policy specification languages and operationalization methods for transparency, accountability, and user control 

● Economics of security designs that aim to improve transparency, accountability, and/or user control on the Internet.

If in doubt whether your contribution is a fit, please contact the workshop organizers.
