[Sergio Maffeis]

SEC at SAC16

The 15th edition of the Computer Security track
at the 31st ACM Symposium on Applied Computing
3-8 April 2016, University of Pisa, Italy
http://www.dmi.unict.it/~giamp/sac/cfp2016.php


For over thirty years has the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing been a
primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer
engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around
the world. Its proceedings are published by ACM in both printed form and
CD-ROM; they are also available on the web through the ACM Digital
Library http://www.acm.org/dl.

The Computer Security track reaches its fifteenth edition this year,
thus appearing among the most established tracks in the Symposium. The
list of issues remains vast, ranging from protocols to work-flows.


Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- software security (protocols, operating systems, etc.)
- hardware security (smartcards, biometric technologies, etc.)
- mobile security (properties for/from mobile agents, etc.)
- network security (anti-DoS tools, firewalls, real-time monitoring,
mobile networks, sensor networks, etc.)
- alternatives to cryptography (steganography, etc.)
- security-specific software development practices (vulnerability
testing, fault-injection resilience, etc.)
- privacy and anonymity (trust management, pseudonymity, identity
management, electronic voting, etc.)
- safety and dependability issues (reliability, survivability, etc.)
- cyberlaw and cybercrime (copyrights, trademarks, defamation,
intellectual property, etc.)
- security management and usability issues (security configuration,
policy management, usability trials etc.)
- workflow and service security (business processes, web services, etc.)
- security in cloud computing and virtualised environments
