This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21th International Conference on Information and Communications Security, ICICS 2019, held in Beijing, China, in December 2019. The 47 revised full papers were carefully selected from 199 submissions. The papers are organized in topics on malware analysis and detection, IoT and CPS security enterprise network security, software security, system security, authentication, applied cryptograph internet security, machine learning security, machine learning privacy, Web security, steganography and steganalysis.

At its core, information security deals with the secure and accurate transfer of information. While information security has long been important, it was, perhaps, brought more clearly into mainstream focus with the so-called “Y2K” issue. Te Y2K scare was the fear that c- puter networks and the systems that are controlled or operated by sofware would fail with the turn of the millennium, since their clocks could lose synchronization by not recognizing a number (instruction) with three zeros. A positive outcome of this scare was the creation of several Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) around the world that now work - operatively to exchange expertise and information, and to coordinate in case major problems should arise in the modern IT environment. Te terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 raised security concerns to a new level. Te - ternational community responded on at least two fronts; one front being the transfer of reliable information via secure networks and the other being the collection of information about - tential terrorists. As a sign of this new emphasis on security, since 2001, all major academic publishers have started technical journals focused on security, and every major communi- tions conference (for example, Globecom and ICC) has organized workshops and sessions on security issues. In addition, the IEEE has created a technical committee on Communication and Information Security. Te ?rst editor was intimately involved with security for the Athens Olympic Games of 2004.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Information and Communications Security, ICISC 2015, held in Beijing, China, in December 2015. The 24 revised full papers and 19 short papers presented were carefully selected from 148 submissions. The papers provide the latest results in research and development in the field of information security and applied cryptology.

This one-stop reference gives you the latest expertise on everything from access control and network security, to smart cards and privacy. Representing a total blueprint to security design and operations, this book brings all modern considerations into focus. It maps out user authentication methods that feature the latest biometric techniques, followed by authorization and access controls including DAC, MAC, and ABAC and how these controls are best applied in todayOCOs relational and multilevel secure database systems."
