9th IEEE Conference on Dependable and Secure Computing (DSC 2026)

The IEEE Conference on Dependable and Secure Computing (DSC) is a premier venue for research advancing the reliability, security, and trustworthiness of computer systems and networks. Now in its ninth edition, DSC addresses a broad range of topics including fault-tolerant system design, security protocols, intrusion detection, hardware security, software verification, and the dependability of cloud and distributed systems. As digital systems become ever more critical to social and economic infrastructure, DSC plays a vital role in developing the principles and techniques that keep these systems robust, secure, and predictable under adversarial and failure conditions.
