CONFERENCE TOPICS
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high quality, unpublished research and implementation experiences.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
- Accountability
- Anonymity
- Applied Cryptography
- Attacks & Malicious Code
- Authentication & Delegation
- Awareness & Education
- Data Integrity
- Database Security
- Identity Management
- Information Security Culture
- Formal Security Verification
- Mobile Code Security
- Policies & Standards
- Privacy Attitudes & Practices
- Risk Analysis & Management
- Security Architectures
- Security Economics
- Security in Location Services
- Security in Social Networks
- Security Models
- Social Engineering & other Human-related Risks
- System Security
- Usable Security
- Trust Models & Management
- Trust Theories
- Trustworthy User Devices

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.
All 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 therein.

All accepted papers must be presented at the conference. 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.
