Privacy, security, and trust in data mining are crucial and related issues that havecapturedthe attentionofmany researchers, administrators, andlegislators. Consequently, data mining for improved security and the study of suitable trust models, as well as data mining side-e?ects on privacy, have rapidly become a hot and lively research area. The issues are rooted in the real-worldand concern academia, industry, government, and society in general. The issues are global, andmanygovernmentsarestrugglingtosetnationalandinternationalpolicieson privacy, security, and trust for data mining...

The security issues set by the global digitization of our society have had, and will continue to have, a crucial impact at all levels of our social organization, including, just to mention a few, privacy, economics, environmental policies, national sovereignty, medical environments. The importance of the collaborations in the various ?elds of computer s- ence to solve these problems linked with other sciences and techniques is clearly recognized. Moreover, the collaborative work to bridge the formal theory and practical applications becomes increasingly important and useful. In this context,...

The biennial International Workshop on Coding and Cryptology (IWCC) aims to bring together many of the world's greatest minds in coding and crypt- ogy to share ideas and exchange knowledge related to advancements in c- ing and cryptology, amidst an informal setting conducive for interaction and collaboration. It is well known that fascinating connections exist between coding and cr- tology. Therefore this workshop series was organized to facilitate a fruitful - teraction and stimulating discourse among experts from these two areas. The inaugural IWCC was held at Wuyi Mountain, Fujian...

Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI) is concerned with the study of the dev- opment and use of advanced information technologies and systems for national, int- national, and societal security-related applications. The annual IEEE International Conference series on ISI was started in 2003 and the first four meetings were held in the United States. In 2006, the Workshop on ISI (http: //isi. se. cuhk. edu. hk/2006/) was held in Singapore in conjunction with the Pacific Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, with over 100 contributors and participants from all over the...
