Speech is becoming an increasingly important means for human-computer 
interaction with numerous deployments in biometrics, forensics and, most 
importantly, information access through virtual voice assistants. 
Alongside these developments, the need for robust, secure algorithms and 
applications which guard the user’s security and privacy emerged at the 
forefront of speech-based research and development.


The fifth edition of the Symposium on Security & Privacy in Speech 
Communication, focuses on speech and voice through which we express 
ourselves. As speech communication can be used to command virtual 
assistants to transport emotion or to identify oneself. The symposium 
tries to give answers to the question on how we can strengthen security 
and privacy for speech representation types in user-centric 
human/machine interaction. The symposium therefore sees that 
interdisciplinary exchange is in high demand and aims to bring together 
researchers and practitioners across multiple disciplines – more 
specifically: signal processing, cryptography, security, human-computer 
interaction, law, and anthropology.


To strengthen the efforts for both events, ease joined discussions, and 
extend the interdisciplinary exchange, we decided to combine our teams 
and organized a joined event. For the general symposium, we  welcome 
contributions to related topics, as well as progress reports, project 
dissemination, or theoretical discussions and “work in progress”.  In 
addition, guests from academia, industry and public institutions as well 
as interested students are welcome to attend the conference without 
having to make their own contribution. All accepted submissions will 
appear in the symposium proceedings published in the ISCA Archive.

Submission:

Papers intended for the SPSC Symposium should be up to eight pages of 
text. The length should be chosen appropriately to present the topic to 
an interdisciplinary community. Paper submissions must conform to the 
format defined in the paper preparation guidelines and as detailed in 
the author's kit 
<https://surfdrive.surf.nl/files/index.php/s/z1rUosqqtQd0wjJ/download>or 
the Overleaf Template 
<https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/interspeech-paper-kit/kzcdqdmkqvbr>. 
Papers must be submitted via the online paper submission system via the 
Link on the SPSC Website <https://spsc-symposium.de/>. The working 
language of the conference is English, and papers must be written in 
English. All accepted papers will be published in the ISCA archive 
alongside Interspeech papers and related ISCA workshops.At least one 
author of each paper must be registered for the Symposium. We may offer 
hybrid participation but will change the format of presentation for 
virtual participants.


Reviews:

At least three double-blind reviews will be provided, and we aim to 
obtain feedback from interdisciplinary experts for each submission.
