The conference series ICISS (International Conference on Information
Systems Security), held annually, provides a forum for disseminating
latest research results in information and systems security. ICISS
2012, the Eight conference in this series, will be held under the aegis
of the newly formed Society for Research in Information Security and
Privacy (SRISP). The acceptance ratio of the first seven 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.
Submissions are encouraged from academia, industry and government
addressing theoretical and practical problems in information and systems
security and related areas.

Research community and academics are invited to submit theoretical and
application oriented full and short papers making a significant research
contribution on Information Systems Security. 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, and smartphone security.

Topics of interest include (but not limited to)
* Application Security
* Formal Methods in Security
* Operating System Security
* Authentication and Access Control
* Intrusion Detection, Prevention & Response
* Privacy and Anonymity
* Biometric Security
* Intrusion Tolerance and Recovery
* Security in P2P, Sensor and Ad Hoc Networks
* Smartphone and Mobile Device Security
* Data Security
* Key Management and Cryptographic Protocols
* Software Security
* Digital Forensics and Diagnostics
* Language-based Security
* Vulnerability Detection and Mitigation
* Digital Rights Management
* Malware Analysis and Mitigation
* Web Security
* Distributed System Security
* Network Security

All accepted conference papers will be published in the conference
proceedings, published by the Springer Verlag series of Lecture Notes in
Computer Science.
