Cryptology: The journal's editorial scope has explicitly excluded cryptology since 2006. Therefore, submissions with some aspect of cryptology (including blockchains, watermarking, and steganography) as a principal component will not be considered for review.

AI and ML: As of early 2024, we have instituted a moratorium on consideration of submissions that feature AI or ML as significant components. Thus, submissions about applying an AI/ML technique to system security and privacy topics will not be considered. Also, items directed to the security of AI/ML systems themselves (such as LLM and federated learning) are out of scope of the journal and should be submitted to a venue primarily about AI/ML.
