PURPOSE Recent technology development in the areas of communication and the Internet has increased the speed and ease of information access and exchange, and eliminated many communication boundaries. However, there is a threat to information security and user privacy that comes with this new ease of information access. The IASTED conference on Communication, Network, and Information Security aims to bring together users and researchers from different disciplines and industries that are concerned about issues in communication, network, and information security.

CNIS 2003 will be held in conjunction with the IASTED International Conference, PowerCon 2003, with its special theme on blackouts.

LOCATION New York, the city that never sleeps, is a city immortalized in stories, songs, and movies. The Dutch originally founded the city in 1662 calling it New Amsterdam until the British captured it in 1664 and renamed it New York. From its humble beginnings, New York has grown into a bustling center of business and multicultural activity. Among its diverse and exciting attractions are museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the renowned Rockefeller Center, the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, and the picturesque Brooklyn Bridge. Whether you are shopping on Madison Avenue, dining at one of New York's exceptional bistros, or enjoying a Broadway production, you are sure to fondly remember your time in the legendary "Big Apple".

SCOPE The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Auditing Authentication and Digital Signatures Access Control Applied Cryptography Biometrics in Security Cryptographic Protocols Content Management and Security Digital Rights Management Disaster Recovery Firewalls and VPNs Formal Aspects of Security Forensics Global Security Architectures and Infrastructures Hacking and Intrusion Detection Information Hiding and Watermarking Information Warfare Legal and Regulatory Issues Mobile Code and Agent Security Network Security Wireless Security Web Security Privacy and Confidentiality Security Analysis Methodologies Security for Operating Systems Security Certification Security Policy and Standards Software Security Trust Management Viruses and Worms
