Call for Presentations: PriSC @ POPL 2025
================================================

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.

9th Workshop on Principles of Secure Compilation (PriSC 2025)
=============================================================

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 9th edition of PriSC
will be held on January 20 in Denver, Colorado, United States together with
the ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages (POPL), 2025.


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, systems and their combination.

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.
