The acceptance ratio of the first four conferences has averaged less than 30%, and the proceedings have been published as part of the Springer Verlag series of Lecture Notes in Computer Science. The ICISS 2009 encourages submissions addressing theoretical and practical problems in information and systems security and related areas. We especially like to encourage papers in domains that have not been represented much in the past at the conference, such as database security/privacy, usability aspects of security, operating systems security, and sensor networks security. Papers that introduce and address unique security challenges or present thought-provoking ideas are also welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Security and External World Biometric security Database security and privacy Audits and digital forensics Digital rights management Privacy and anonymity User interfaces and security Security/privacy on the web Security/privacy in healthcare Computer System & Network Security Security on handheld devices Security in sensor and ad hoc networks Malware analysis and mitigation Vulnerability detection and mitigation Distributed systems security Operating systems security Software security analysis Security in cyber physical systems Security: Models and Analysis Authentication and access control Access control models Cryptographic protocols Language-based security Security policies Important Dates Manuscript Submission (Full Paper): 15 July 2009 Tutorial Proposal Submission: 03 Aug 2009 Notification of Acceptance: 04 Sep 2009 Camera-ready Manuscript Due: 21 Sep 2009 Paper Submission Submissions must be made online at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iciss2009 Papers should be formatted as they would appear in the final LNCS proceedings.
