For more than three decades, the Network and Distributed System Security (NDSS) Symposium has brought together leading cybersecurity researchers, academics, and practitioners from around the world to advance cutting-edge work.
The research they share and debate at the NDSS Symposium helps shape the technologies, systems, and security practices that underpin a safer and more trustworthy Internet.
As the Internet Society works to advance a safer Internet for everyone, the NDSS Symposium plays an important role by bringing together the global security research community to develop the knowledge, innovation, and collaboration necessary to address emerging threats and strengthen the Internet’s security and resilience.
We are pleased to announce an important milestone in the symposium’s history: NDSS Symposium 2027 will take place in Seoul, Republic of Korea, from 22–26 March 2027. This marks an exciting next chapter for the NDSS Symposium that reflects the globally connected Internet and the global cybersecurity community working to secure it.
Top Security Conference
The NDSS Symposium, which was originally the Workshop on Network and Distributed System Security, was first held on 11-12 February, 1993 in San Diego, California. It was organized as workshop of the Privacy and Security Research Group of the Internet Research Task Force and hosted by the Internet Society and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. It has evolved over the years, and it is now a top tier academic symposium with several co-located workshops and symposia.
The Symposium has grown into one of the world’s top security conferences, attracting participants from all over the world and featuring peer-reviewed academic papers, poster sessions, multiple co-located workshops, and keynote presentations on vital and timely topics from leaders in the field.
