==Overview ==
The 2012 Summer FTRA International Symposium on Advances in Cryptography, Security and Applications for Future Computing (ACSA-Summer) will be held in Vancouver, Canada, June 26-28, 2012.
Our FTRA-ACSA has been successfully running (ACSA-11 Jeju-Korea, ACSA-10 Gwangju-Korea, ACSA-09 Jeju-Korea).
ACSA-Summer 2012 will be the most comprehensive symposium focused on advances in Cryptography, Security and Applications for Future Computing. ACSA-Summer 2012is intended to foster state-of-the-art research in the area of cryptography, security and its applications for Future Computer Science (FCS). The FCS represents an interdisciplinary field with roots in mathematics and engineering with applications in future computing environments including ubiquitous, pervasive, grid, and P2P computing. It aims to solve the various problems of advanced computing and communication services using mathematics and computer science in future computing environments. The reliable security solutions that rely on in depth cryptography are required as a countermeasure, such as data confidentiality, data integrity, authentication, non-repudiation, and access control services. This symposium focuses on advances in cryptography, security and its application for FCS. This symposium will also serve as a landmark source for cryptography, security and its applications for FCS and will provide reader the most important state-of-the-art technologies in areas of applied mathematics for FCS. This symposium aims to address the importance of cryptography, security and its application for FCS and to encourage researchers to publish their results in notable journals. It will accept both original research papers and review articles that enhance the state-of-the-art approaches and solutions in the area of advances in cryptography, security and its applications for FCS. The papers will be peer reviewed and will be selected on the basis of their quality and relevance to the theme of this symposium.


The ACSA-Summer 2012 is the next event in a New summer series of highly successful the FTRA International Symposium on Advances in Cryptography, Security and Applications for Future Computing, previously held as FTRA ACSA-11, Jeju, Korea, December 12-15, 2011.
