Call For Papers: Special Issue on Cyber Security Applications in Industry and Government Motivation Few organizations in both the commercial and government sectors do not now use digital Information Technology (IT) to store and process data that is sensitive in some way. For example, it may represent individuals' confidential details, valuable intellectual property, market sensitive information or even state secrets. At the same time, the commercialization of the Internet in the mid-1990s has resulted in the Internet becoming the de facto electronic channel over which organizations now interact with each other. Even where systems are not directly connected to the Internet, there are often indirect channels being inadvertently created to reach apparently disconnected systems. Hence, whilst holding increasingly sensitive data digitally, and using IT for critical functions, organizations are unintentionally offering ways in which that data can be accessed by those not authorized or intended to do so. This special issue on cyber security applications in industry and government is intended to bring forth the recent advancements in this area. Original and unpublished contributions covering, but not limited to, the following and related issues concerning cyber security within industry and government are solicited: * Security designs - Innovations in security architectures that incorporate mobile and cloud computing; * Protecting new platforms - Security solutions for cloud, mobile and consumer devices; * Detection solutions - Innovations in the detection of intrusion, malware and its activity, including post-attack forensics on secure devices; * Infrastructure - Innovations in network traffic security, including protocols, encryption and software defined networks; * Threat modelling - Understand the tools, technologies and processes of the attackers, anticipating attacks and understanding what are important to protect; * Emergent problems - Potential business models for transfer of value, from gold-farming to Paypal. Important Dates * Paper submission: April 12, 2013 * First-round acceptance notification: July 12, 2013 * Revision: September 13, 2013 * Final decision: November 15, 2013 * Submission of final paper: December 13, 2013 * Publication date: April 2014 Submission Details Paper submissions for the special issue should follow the submission format and guidelines for regular Elsevier Information Security Technical Report (ISTR) papers. Author guidelines can be found at http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/31185/authorinstructions. All the papers will be peer-reviewed following the ISTR reviewing procedures.

He began as a physicist, but developed an interest in computing early on through signal processing for gamma ray burst detectors, and so switched to engineering after his BSc. His post graduate research at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR)<http://www.soton.ac.uk/engineering/research/centres/isvr.page>, University of Southampton<http://www.soton.ac.uk/>, was in adaptive filtering, and novel methods of recovering corrupted signals. Alan also worked on novel methods of noise cancellation, both passive and active. Dr Andrew Rogoyski Dr Rogoyski created and chairs Intellect's Cyber Security group, which has been active since 2008, focusing on the improved sharing of information and new models of public private partnership. Andrew is a member of Intellect's Security & Resilience management team and has recently joined the RISC council, improving engagement between industry, the Home Office and law enforcement organizations. Andrew has recently advised the Cabinet Office's OCSIA on their Industry Engagement Strategy, providing industry views on the role of government in cyber security, highlighting the need to engage at a strategic level and to improve the sharing of information. This work supported the creation of a government/industry joint strategy group chaired by the Prime Minister. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
