SECITC - http://www.secitc.eu brings together computer security researchers, cryptographers, industry representatives and graduate students interested in any aspect of information security and privacy. One of SECITC’s primary goals is to bring together security and privacy researchers and professionals from different communities and provide a forum allowing the informal exchanges necessary for the emergence of new scientific and industrial collaborations. Regarding the scientific papers dissemination, SECITC 2017 post-proceedings was published by Springer as LNCS vol. 10543, SECITC 2016 post-proceedings was published by Springer as LNCS vol. 10006 and for SECITC 2015 post-proceedings was published by Springer as LNCS vol. 9522 in a book titled “Innovative Security Solutions for Information Technology and Communications”. The paper submission and refereeing for SECITC 2018, will take place via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=secitc2018 and the post-proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. In the year 2018, the board is targeting to have a stronger focus on the technologies from the Cyber Security field without impacting the Crypto focus.
