Call for Participation

Security, assurance and privacy challenges abound. Advances in information and communication technologies have brought many security problems to the fore. Such problems may be technical in nature or organizationally grounded. Whatever be the nature and scope of the security problems, there is a need to engage in discourses pertaining to security, assurance, and privacy. To that effect, we welcome participation in the 22nd Annual Security Conference.

The conference welcomes submissions from academia, industry, and government addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of cybersecurity. Indicative themes include:

Access control and authentication            
Legal and regulatory aspects

Submission types

Full papers that are accepted following the double-blind, peer-review will be published in their entirety in the conference proceedings and all eligible submissions that go through a full peer-review cycle will be fast-tracked to the Journal of Information System Security (http://www.jissec.org). JISSec is indexed in SCOPUS. 

b) Short Papers. Short papers present research in progress or simply an idea that aims to generate some discussion on the conference floor. In this submission mode, you can submit an abstract (100 words), or extended abstract (up to 1000 words), with a view to potentially developing a full paper after the event. Short paper submissions will be reviewed by the conference chairs to ensure relevance and credibility.

The length of the case study can be anywhere between 5-10,000 words. Case study submissions will be reviewed by the conference chairs to ensure relevance and credibility.
