Call for Papers

We invite researchers to submit original research papers to the LAST-X Workshop, to be held in conjunction with the NDSS 2026 conference. With the rapid evolution of LLMs in recent years, researchers have brought novel solutions to hardware and software system security, including fuzzing, code generation, and code analysis. The LAST-X Workshop provides a forum for researchers from industry and academia to discuss advancements, challenges, and solutions in LLM-assisted security.

Topics of interest include:

• LLM-assisted fuzzing
• LLM-assisted code analysis and verification
• LLM-assisted adversarial attacks and defenses
• Case studies and real-world applications

We also strongly encourage submissions on broader topics in LLM-assisted hardware and software security and validation.

Important dates (AoE):

• Submission deadline: Nov. 20, 2025 Dec. 10, 2025 (grace period until Dec. 15)
• Author notification: Jan. 15, 2025 Jan. 20, 2026
• Camera-ready deadline: Jan. 15, 2025 Jan. 30, 2026

Submission Guidelines:

Submissions will be reviewed in a double-blind process based on quality and novelty:

• Page limit: 10 pages (excluding references and appendices)
• Format: Double-column IEEE
• Submissions must be anonymous
• No simultaneous submissions to other venues
• Submission site: https://lastx2026.hotcrp.com/

The program committee will select a best paper among accepted submissions, and the award will be presented during the workshop.
