Call for Paper in PDF version.

CMS’2010 is the 11th Conference in the "Communications and Multimedia Security" series. The series is a joint effort of IFIP Technical Committees TC6 (Communication Systems) and TC11 (Security and Privacy Protection in Information Processing Systems). The conference will be hosted by the Department Secure Information Systems of the Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences and will be located in Linz, Austria. The size of the programme committee, consisting of international experts in this field, proves the interest of the research community. Conference proceedings will be published by Springer. There will be a best paper award.

Both state-of-the-art issues and practical experiences as well as new trends in these areas will be once more the focus of interest just like at preceding conferences.
