SCOPE

The IEEE International Workshop on Security in Computers, Networking and Communications (SCNC) is an international forum for researchers, developers, and practitioners to demonstrate new ideas, techniques, and tools on secure and usable computer and communications systems and user privacy, new threats to confidentiality, integrity, and usability of computer and communications systems and user privacy, for users to exchange their experience in new tools and techniques that lead to improvement of security, integrity, and usability of computer and communication systems. The workshop welcomes academia, government, industry, and contributing individuals to submit unpublished papers in theoretical and practical aspects of computer and communications security.
