CMS 2014 is the 15th Conference in the "Communications and Multimedia Security" series. The series is a joint effort of the IFIP Technical Committees TC6 (Communication Systems) and TC11 (Security and Privacy Protection in Information Processing Systems).

The conference provides a forum for engineers and scientists in information security. Both state-of-the-art issues and practical experiences as well as new trends in these areas will be once more the focus of interest just like at preceding conferences.

Continuing the last years’ trend, this year the conference will maintain the focus in security and privacy issues in mobile contexts, web services (including social networking) and ubiquitous environments. We solicit papers describing original ideas and research results on topics that include, but are not limited to:

applied cryptography
biometrics
forensics
secure documents and archives
multimedia systems security
digital watermarking
distributed DRM policies
attack resistant rendering engines
adaptive anomaly detection
censorship resistance
risk management
mobility and security/privacy
mobile identities
privacy enhanced identity management
security/privacy policies and preferences
social networks security/privacy
security/privacy in geo-localized applications
security/privacy in VoIP
security policies (including usage control)
web services security
economics of network and information security (NIS)
SOA security
ubiquitous and ambient computing security
cloud computing security/privacy
wireless and ad hoc network security
RFID tags and (multimedia) sensor nodes security
security technology effectiveness
incentivizing security
eID exploitation
e-Government security

Accepted papers will be published by Springer within the LNCS series.

The most outstanding full paper, presented at the conference, will receive a “Best Paper Award”.

The conference will also host a poster session. Posters will be refereed by the PC and will be published in the proceedings as extended abstracts.
