CALL FOR PAPERS
Created in 2017, THCon (Toulouse Hacking Convention) is a French cybersecurity conference held annually. It usually takes place in Toulouse, France and has an audience of about 300 attendees (engineers, academics and students).
THCon is organised by an association composed of current and former students of TLS-SEC, an engineering curriculum dedicated to IT Security.
Our Call For Papers gives everyone an opportunity to be a speaker at our 2024 edition next April. If you have carried out research related to IT Security and want to showcase it to the community, please submit your paper or presentation to this Call For Papers. Research does not have to be academic, and we are looking for both academic and non-academic speakers.
TOPICS
THCon is an event about IT Security, so any submission related to it is welcome. If you want a clearer idea of what we are looking for, here is a non-exhaustive list of potential domains of research:
(Hardware, Software, Protocols, etc.)
(OS, Smartphone, Hypervisors, etc.)
(Sandboxes, Reverse, etc.)
and/or analysis (including protocols)
and/or protocols (including proof-of-work algorithms)
(blue teams, operationals...)
and/or notable stories of "#FAIL"
and/or system tampering involving any of the techniques listed above
(machine learning / big data, cloud, IoT, APT...)
Both academic and non-academic speakers are welcome.

FORMATS
We propose a single track event over two days. Presentations must be in English, and can be given in either of two formats: a short 20-min presentation, or a long 40-min presentation. The submission format depends on the type of presentation you are interested in:
Authors are invited to submit either original or already presented papers. The submission format for already presented talks or papers is simply the slides of the talk or the full paper that was presented.
NOTE. These are minimum submission requirements, you can of course submit a complete paper or a finalised presentation if you have one. Submissions that will not comply with the minimum requirements will not be considered.
SUBMIT YOUR PAPER
If you have read everything and are ready to submit your paper or presentation idea, please click on the button below to go to EasyChair, the platform used by THCon to collect submissions.
The submissions will go through a review process. The program committee will be published very soon on the website of the conference. Submissions accepted by the organizers will be presented at THCon2024. For accepted works, at least one of the authors must present the paper during the conference.
