This volume contains the proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Infor- tionandCommunicationsSecurity(ICICS2004), Torremolinos(Malaga), Spain,27 29 October 2004. The ?ve previous conferences were held in Beijing, Sydney, Xian, S- gapore and Huhehaote City, where we had an enthusiastic and well-attended event. The proceedings were released as volumes 1334, 1726, 2229, 2513 and 2836 of the LNCS series of Springer, respectively. During these last years the conference has placed equal emphasis on the theoretical and practical aspects of information and communications security and has...

The present volume aims to provide an overview of the current understanding of the so-called Critical Infrastructure (CI), and particularly the Critical Information Infrastructure (CII), which not only forms one of the constituent sectors of the overall CI, but also is unique in providing an element of interconnection between sectors as well as often also intra-sectoral control mechanisms. The 14 papers of this book present a collection of pieces of scientific work in the areas of critical infrastructure protection. In combining elementary concepts and models with policy-related issues on one...

This State-of-the-Art Survey contains a selection of papers representing state-of-the-art results in the engineering of secure software-based Future Internet services and systems, produced by the NESSoS project researchers. The engineering approach of the Network of Excellence NESSoS, funded by the European Commission, is based on the principle of addressing security concerns from the very beginning in all software development phases, thus contributing to reduce the amount of software vulnerabilities and enabling the systematic treatment of security needs through the engineering process. The...

FOSAD has been one of the foremost educational events established with the goal of disseminating knowledge in the critical area of security in computer systems and networks. Over the years, both the summer school and the book series have represented a reference point for graduate students and young researchers from academia or industry, interested to approach the field, investigate open problems, and follow priority lines of research.
This book presents thoroughly revised versions of nine tutorial lectures given by leading researchers during three International Schools on Foundations of...
