The 14th International Conference on Network and System Security (NSS2020) seeks submissions presenting novel contributions related to all theoretical and practical aspects related to network and system security, such as authentication, access control, availability, integrity, privacy, confidentiality, dependability and sustainability of computer networks and systems. The aim of NSS is to provide a leading-edge forum to foster interaction between researchers and developers with the network and system security communities, and to give attendees an opportunity to interact with experts in academia, industry, and governments. Authors of each accepted paper must ensure that at least one author registers for the conference, and that their paper is presented in-person at the conference.
Since the first NSS held in Dalian 2007, NSS has been successfully held in: Sapporo, Japan (2019), Hong Kong, China (2018), Helsinki, Finland (2017), Taipei (2016), New York City, USA (2015), Xi'an, China (2014), Madrid, Spain (2013), Wu Yi Shan, China (2012), Milan, Italy (2011), Melbourne, Australia (2010), Gold Coast, Australia (2009), Shanghai, China (2008). After a decade, NSS is back in Melbourne. This year we have invited world-renowned security experts to deliver keynotes, such as Prof. Elisa Bertino, Prof. Robert Deng, Prof. Jaideep Vaidya, Prof Kui Ren, Prof Wanlei Zhou, and Prof. Xun Yi.
