***********************************************************************

Papers offering novel research contributions in any aspect of computer
security are solicited for submission to the Fourteenth European
Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS 2009). Organized in
a series of European countries, ESORICS is confirmed as the leading
European research event in computer security. The symposium started in
1990 and has been held on alternate years in different European
countries and attracts an international audience from both the academic
and industrial communities. From 2002 it has been held yearly. The
Symposium has established itself as one of the premiere, international
gatherings on Information Assurance.

Papers may present theory, technique, applications, or practical
experience on topics including, but not limited to:

- access control
- anonymity
- authentication
- authorization and delegation
- cryptographic protocols
- data integrity
- dependability
- information flow control
- smartcards
- systems security
- digital right management
- accountability
- applied cryptography
- covert channels
- cybercrime
- denial of service attacks
- formal methods in security
- inference control
- information warfare
- steganography
- transaction management
- data and application security
- intellectual property protection
- intrusion tolerance
- peer-to-peer security
- language-based security
- network security
- non-interference
- privacy-enhancing technology
- pseudonymity
- subliminal channels
- trustworthy user devices
- identity management
- security as quality of service
- secure electronic commerce
- security administration
- security evaluation
- security management
- security models
- security requirements engineering
- security verification
- survivability
- information dissemination control
- trust models and trust management policies

The primary focus is on high-quality original unpublished research, case
studies and implementation experiences. We encourage submissions of
papers discussing industrial research and development. Proceedings will
be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS) series.

PAPER SUBMISSIONS
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with proceedings. Papers should be at most 15 pages excluding
the bibliography and well-marked appendices (using 11-point font and
reasonable margins), and at most 20 pages total. Committee members are
not required to read the appendices, and so the paper should be
intelligible without them. Papers must be submitted using the conference
web site and following the requirements stated there. Authors of
accepted papers must be prepared to sign a copyright statement and must
guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference.
Additionally, they must follow the Springer Information for Authors?
guidelines for the preparation of the manuscript and use the templates
provided there.

IMPORTANT DATES
- Paper submissions due: April 17, 2009
- Acceptance notifications: June 8, 2009
- Camera-ready papers due: June 29, 2009
