CALL FOR PAPERS

Eighth International Conference on Information Systems Security (ICISS 2012) 15-19 December 2012 IIT Guwahati, India

The conference series ICISS (International Conference on Information Systems Security), held annually, provides a forum for disseminating the latest research results in information and systems security. The acceptance ratio of the past four conferences has averaged less than 30%, and the proceedings have been published as part of the Springer Verlag series of Lecture Notes in Computer Science. The conference encourages submissions addressing theoretical and practical problems in information and systems security and related areas. We especially like to encourage papers in domains that have not been represented much in the past at the conference, such as database security/privacy, usability aspects of security, and smartphone security. Papers that introduce and address unique security challenges or present thought-provoking ideas are also welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Application Security Authentication and Access Control Biometric Security Cryptographic Protocols Data Security Digital Forensics and Diagnostics Digital Rights Management Distributed System Security Formal Methods in Security Intrusion Detection, Prevention and Response Intrusion Tolerance and Recovery Key Management and Cryptographic Protocols Language-based Security Malware Analysis and Mitigation Network Security Operating System Security Privacy and Anonymity Security in P2P, Sensor and Ad Hoc Networks Smartphone Security Software Security Vulnerability Detection and Mitigation Usable Security Web Security
