Workshop on Security of Permissionless Systems (SPS)
August 2, 2019 in Toronto, Canada. Co-located with PODC’19

We are excited to announce the Workshop on Security of Permissionless Systems (SPS).
SPS is dedicated to addressing the application of new techniques and the adaptation of traditional tools to ensure the security of permissionless systems. In this setting, nodes may join and depart without centralized control; examples include distributed ledgers, IoT, smart grid, robot swarms, peer-to-peer and ad-hoc wireless networks. Many security threats arise from an absence of administrative control, and a lack of trust between a dynamic set of participants.
The workshop is a one-day event that will consist of invited speakers presenting results of interest to the broad community of distributed-computing researchers. Additionally, time will be allocated for the discussion of open problems and future research directions.
