ICSS 2015 - First International Conference On Software Security(ICSS 2015)

Traditionally, security in software has been thought to be something that can be easily added on as a patch, post-development, and sometimes even after the deployment of the software. According to the US-Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT), "most successful attacks result from targeting and exploiting known, non-patched software vulnerabilities and insecure software configurations, many of which are introduced during design and code." Hence, it is imperative that secure design, coding and testing principles as well as deployment and maintenance are thoroughly embedded in the software development lifecycle. At the same time, software security is very inter-disciplinary, as software is being developed for a variety of applications - web, Internet, database, single and distributed computer systems, etc.
In the above context, the First International Conference on Software Security brings together researchers, faculty, students and industry professionals who are experts in different domains of computer and information security, but all leading to the design, development, deployment and maintenance of secure software. We invite papers that are both theoretical as well as practical in nature, from both academia and industry. Some of the topics of interest (but not limited to) are:
Topics of interest include but are not limited to, the following
Secure Software Development Lifecycle
Principles and Models for Secure Software Design
Secure Coding Standards and their Implementation
Software Security for Wireless and Mobile Applications
Software Security for Database Systems
Software Security for Web and Internet Applications
Security of Open Source Software
Software Threats and Vulnerabilities
Risk Analysis for Software Security
Software Security Attacks and Solutions
Static and Dynamic Code Analysis for Software Security
Validation, Verification and Testing for Software Security
Virtualization and Cloud Computing for Software Security
Cryptography for Software Security
Firewalls and Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems for Software Security
