The 3rd International Conference on Information Security and Assurance (ISA-09) will be take place in Korea University, Seoul, Korea, from June 25th to 27th, 2009.


ISA-09 will be the most comprehensive conference focused on the various aspects of advances in Information Security and Assurance. The concepts of Security and Assurance are emerging rapidly as an exciting new paradigm to provide reliable and safe life services.
Our Conference provides a chance for academic and industry professionals to discuss recent progress in the area of Information Security and Assurance including modeling, simulation and novel applications associated with the utilization and acceptance of computing devices and systems.


ISA-09 is a successor of the 1st International Workshop on Information Assurance in Networks (IAN 2007, Jeju-island, Korea, December, 2007), the 2nd International Conference on Information Security and Assurance (ISA-08, Busan, Korea, April 2008).
