Cyber Security Best Research Paper Award (DCSRP)

Since 2015, the Dutch Cyber ​​Security Best Research Paper (DCSRP) Award has been presented annually. This award was established by the predecessor of dcypher, the ICT Innovation platform “Veilig Verbonden” (IIP-VV). This platform has organized the best paper competition twice, in 2015 and 2016. It was obvious that the successor to the IIP-VV would continue the “tradition”. From 2017 to 2020, dcypher annually convened an international jury and presented them with a series of submitted papers. Presentations of the top-3, top-4 or top-5 and the proclamation of the winning paper took place in the years 2015 to 2019 inclusive at ICT.OPEN, the annual conference for ICT Research in the Netherlands*. Because ICT.OPEN could not take place in 2020 due to the corona crisis, the final of the 2020 DCSRP competition was given a (postponed) stage at dcypher’s last (online mini) Symposium. The organization of the best paper competition will be in the hands of the ACCSS association from 1 March 2021. ACCSS continues the established tradition in 2021 in cooperation with SIG Cyber Security.
