The Information Security Conference (ISC) is an annual international conference covering research in theory and applications of Information Security. ISC aims to attract high quality papers in all technical aspects of information security. It was first initiated as a workshop in Japan in 1997 (ISW'97, LNCS 1396), ISW 1999 in Malaysia (LNCS 1729), ISW 2000 in Australia (LNCS 1975) and then changed to the current name ISC when it was held in Spain in 2001 (ISC'01, LNCS 2200). The latest conferences were held in Brazil (ISC'02, LNCS 2433), UK (ISC'03, LNCS 2851), USA (ISC'04, LNCS 3225), Singapore (ISC'05, LNCS 3650), Greece (ISC'06, LNCS 4176), and Chile (ISC'07, LNCS 4779), Chinese Taipei(ISC'08, LNCS 5222), Italy (ISC'09, LNCS 5735), USA (ISC’10).

Instructions for authors
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings.

All submissions should be appropriately anonymized (i.e., should not contain author names or affiliations, or obvious citations).
Submissions must be made at the web page: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isc2011 Only pdf submissions will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without review. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register with the conference and present the paper. Accepted papers will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
There will be a best paper award and a best student paper award. Any paper co-authored by a full-time student is eligible for both the best student paper award and the best paper award. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their ISC'11 papers to a Special Issue of the ISI-ranked International Journal of Information Security (IJIS).
