Apologies for cross-posting. Please forward this to potential contributors
and interested parties.

------------------------------
4th International Workshop on Behavioral Authentication for System Security
(BASS)
co-located with the 19th International Conference on Availability,
Reliability and Security (ARES)
July 30 – August 02, 2024

------------------------------

*Scope*
Behavioral features are getting in the last years increasing attention from
both IT research and the industrial world. Human behavioral aspects are
extremely valuable pieces of information, exploited by companies to profile
current or potential customers, in order to anticipate their preferences
and present custom offers. Runtime behavioral analysis is being applied
with increasing success for continuous and silent user authentication and
is considered an enabler for the seamless authentication paradigm in
several environments and devices. Furthermore, behavioral analysis is
posing itself as a valuable alternative to signature-based approaches to
identify anomalies, intrusions, security attacks, and system
malfunctioning. These approaches are known to be flexible, self-learning,
and able to consider multi-level and multi-domain features, related to
software execution, system status, user interaction, and current context.

BASS aims at attracting innovative contributions from both industry and
academia related to all aspects of human, system, or software behavioral
analysis for IT security. The workshop solicits submissions on both
theoretical aspects and practical applications of behavior analysis,
behavior-based identification and authentication, profiling, and privacy
and security aspects related to recording and exploitation of behavioral
features.

The previous editions of BASS have been held in conjunction with ARES in
2021 and 2019, first edition was co-located with SECRYPT 2018.
