Hi all,
The deadline for submitting to PriSC (Principles of Secure Compilation
Workshop) has been extended to *November 2nd*.
If you have exciting work to share (in progress or recently accepted),
there is still plenty of time to submit a *2-page abstract*.
The scope is broader than pure secure compilation and also includes
language-based security, low-level properties, low-level security
primitives, enforcement mechanisms, etc.
*Dates:*
* Submission Deadline: *Nov 2nd 2025*
* Acceptance Notification: Mon 1 Dec 2025 (tentative)
* Workshop: Sun 11 Jan 2026

Call for Presentations: PriSC @ POPL 2026
================================================
Secure compilation is an emerging field that puts together advances in
security,
programming languages, compilers, verification, systems, and hardware
architectures in order to build compilers that eliminate many of today's
security
vulnerabilities.
10th Workshop on Principles of Secure Compilation (PriSC 2026)
=============================================================
The Workshop on Principles of Secure Compilation (PriSC) is an informal
1-day
workshop without any proceedings. The goal of this workshop is to identify
interesting research directions and open challenges and to bring together
researchers interested in working on building secure compilation chains, on
developing proof techniques and verification tools, and on designing
software or
hardware enforcement mechanisms for secure compilation. The 10th edition
of PriSC
will be held on January 11 in Rennes, France, together with
the ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages (POPL),
2026.
Presentation Proposals and Attending the Workshop
=================================================
Anyone interested in presenting at the workshop should submit an extended
abstract (up to 2 pages, details below) covering past, ongoing, or
future work.
Any topic that could be of interest to secure compilation is in scope.
Secure
compilation should be interpreted broadly to include techniques that span
programming languages, architecture, and systems. Presentations that provide
a useful outside view or challenge the community are also welcome.
This includes presentations on new attack vectors, such as
microarchitectural
side-channels, whose defenses could benefit from compiler techniques.
Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Attacker models for secure compiler chains.
* Secure compiler properties: fully abstract compilation and similar
properties,
memory safety, control-flow integrity, preservation of safety, information
flow and other (hyper-)properties against adversarial contexts, secure
multi-language interoperability.
* Secure interaction between different programming languages: foreign
function
interfaces, gradual types, securely combining different memory management
strategies.
* Enforcement mechanisms and low-level security primitives: static checking,
program verification, typed assembly languages, reference monitoring,
program
rewriting, software-based isolation/hiding techniques (SFI, crypto-based,
randomization-based, OS/hypervisor-based), security-oriented architectural
features such as Intel's SGX, MPX and MPK, capability machines, side-channel
defenses, object capabilities.
* Experimental evaluation and applications of secure compilers.
* Proof methods relevant to compilation: (bi)simulation, logical
relations, game
semantics, trace semantics, multi-language semantics, embedded interpreters.
* Formal verification of secure compilation chains (protection mechanisms,
compilers, linkers, loaders), machine-checked proofs, translation
validation,
property-based testing.
Guidelines for Submitting Extended Abstracts
============================================
Extended abstracts should be submitted in PDF format and not exceed 2 pages
(references not included). They should be formatted in two-column
layout, 10pt
font, and be printable on A4 and US Letter-sized paper. We recommend
using the
new acmart LaTeX style in sigplan mode. Submissions are not anonymous
and should
provide sufficient detail to be assessed by the program committee.
Presentation
at the workshop does not preclude publication elsewhere.
