The 17th International Conference on Information Security Practice and Experience (ISPEC 2022) will be held in Taipei, Taiwan, 23(Wed)-25(Fri) Nov. 2022. The ISPEC is an annual conference that brings together researchers, scholars and practitioners to provide a confluence of new information security technologies, including their applications and their integration with IT systems in various vertical sectors. In previous years, ISPEC has taken place in Singapore (2005), Hangzhou, China (2006), Hong Kong, China (2007), Sydney, Australia (2008), Xi'an, China (2009), Seoul, Korea (2010), Guangzhou, China (2011), Hangzhou, China (2012), Lanzhou, China (2013), Fuzhou, China (2014), Beijing, China (2015), Zhangjiajie, China (2016), Melbourne, Australia (2017), Tokyo, Japan (2018), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (2019) and Nanjing, China (2021). Note that ISPEC 2020 is postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For all editions, the conference proceedings were published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The ISPEC 2022 conference solicits theoretical, methodological and experimental research reporting original and unpublished results on information security.
