sec 2012 - 27th IFIP International Information Security and Privacy Conference

Papers offering novel research contributions in any aspect of computer security are solicited for submission to the 27th IFIP International Information Security and Privacy Conference. The focus is on original, high quality, unpublished research and implementation experiences. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. We encourage submissions of papers discussing industrial research and development. Papers should focus on topics which include, but are not limited to, the following:

Access Control Privacy Attitudes & Practices
Accountability Risk Analysis and Management
Anonymity Security Architectures
Applied Cryptography Security Economics
Attacks & Malicious Code Security in Location Services
Authentication and Delegation Security in Social Networks
Awareness & Education Security Models
Data Integrity Social Engineering & other Human-related Risks
Database Security System Security
Identity Management Usable Security
Information Security Culture Trust Models & Management
Mobile Code Security Trust Theories
Non-intrusive Security Trustworthy User Devices
Policies & Standards

After the conference, extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in a major security-focused journal. Those papers will undergo at least another review round.

Instructions for paper submission

The proceedings will be published by Springer in the IFIP Advances in ICT Series. All submissions should follow the proper template from the time they are submitted. They should be not more than 12 pages (using 11-point font), including bibliography and appendices. PC members are not required to read the appendices, so the paper should be intelligible without them. Submissions must be written in English.

Authors must submit their papers by the deadline indicated below, using the conference web site (www.sec2012.org) and following the requirements stated there.

All accepted papers must be presented at the conference; therefore, their authors must be prepared to sign a copyright transfer statement. At least one author of each accepted paper must register to the conference by the early date indicated by the organizers, and present the paper.
