The Workshop on the Economics of Information Security (WEIS) is the leading forum for interdisciplinary scholarship on information security and privacy, combining expertise from the fields of economics, social science, business, law, policy, and computer science.
The WEIS 2023 program consists of the presentation and discussion of research papers. The papers have been selected in a rigorous peer-review process by an international program committee. Presenting authors are highlighted in bold.
As a recognition of the research work, there will be awards to the Best Paper (1000 CHF), Best Paper Presentation (750 CHF) and Best Poster Presentation (250 CHF).
