NDSS Symposium 2025
The Network and Distributed System Security (NDSS) Symposium 2025 was held from 24 to 28 February 2025 in San Diego, California.
Almost 700 leading academics, industry researchers, and security practitioners from around the world gathered in San Diego, California, for the 32nd edition of the Network and Distributed System Security (NDSS) Symposium to discuss the latest research and developments in Internet security research.
The five-day event started with keynote presentations from Dr Johanna Sepúlveda (Airbus Defence and Space) on the different quantum technologies and their potential transformative capabilities. Dr Kathleen Fisher (DARPA) reminded us that an increasingly hostile world needs increasingly secure, distributed, and resilient systems.
The week continued with 211 paper presentations in four parallel tracks and 37 poster presentations. Alongside the main symposium, eight co-located events were held, and almost 100 additional papers were presented during these events.
