International Conference on Risk and Security of Internet and Systems (CRISIS) 2011

The International Conference on Risks and Security of Internet and Systems 2011 will be the 6th in a series dedicated to security issues in Internet-related applications, networks and systems. In recent years, the Internet has become essential for the exchange of information between user groups and organizations from different backgrounds and with different needs and objectives. These users are exposed to increasing security and privacy risks, due to the development increasingly sophisticated online attacks, the growth of Cybercrime, etc. Attackers nowadays do not lack motivation and they are more and more experienced. To make matters worse, attacking tool are readily available. Moreover, the increasing complexity and the immaturity of new technologies such as pervasive, mobile and wireless devices and networks, raises new security challenges.

In this context, new security mechanisms and techniques are needed to achieve an acceptable level of assurance for critical domains such as transportation, health, defence, banking, critical infrastructures, embedded systems and networks, avionics systems, etc. The CRiSIS conference offers an effective forum for computer and network security researchers from industry, academia and government to meet, exchange ideas and present recent advances on Internet-related security threats and vulnerabilities, and on the solutions that are needed to counter them.
