The 2017 International Conference on Applications and Technologies in Information Security (ATIS), will be the eighth event in the ATIS series, which started in 2010.
As academic research in information security has developed over the last twenty or so years, applications and techniques are being developed to be of specific use in this area.
These include wavelets and their applications in digital forensics, classification algorithms for use in malicious software detection, and genetic algorithms custom-made for the cryptographic community, etc.
ATIS 2017 focuses on all aspects on techniques and applications in information security.
Papers are invited in the areas below, but do not exclude research in the general areas of the topic headings.
