The proceedings of WISTP 2007 and WISTP 2008 were published as volumes 4462 and 5019 of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. This workshop received the following support: - Co-sponsored by IFIP WG 11. 2 Small...

On behalf of the Program Committee, it is our pleasure to present the p- ceedings of the 12th International Symposium on Recent Advances in Intrusion Detection systems (RAID 2009), which took place in Saint-Malo, France, during September 23-25. As in the past, the symposium brought together leading - searchers and practitioners from academia, government, and industry to discuss intrusion detection research and practice. There were six main sessions prese- ingfullresearchpapersonanomalyandspeci?cation-basedapproaches, malware detection and prevention, network and host intrusion detection and...

We are glad to present in this volume the proceedings of Information Hiding 2009, which was held in Darmstadt, Germany, during June 8-10,2009.The c- ference was organizedby the Center for Advanced Security Research Darmstadt (CASED). Continuing the tradition of previous editions, we tried to create a balanced program, covering di?erent aspects of information hiding, ranging from di- tal watermarking to steganography and steganalysis and information forensics. Furthermore, we see new topics, such as physically unclonable functions and hardware Trojan horse detection, being addressed at the...
