Modern society witnesses a growing pervasiveness of sophisticated computer-based systems and increasingly performance communication networks, whose influence in daily life is huge. Complexity, heterogeneity, scale and interdependence shown by such systems are source of potential vulnerabilities and threats.

The Workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting novel research on theoretical and practical aspects of data protection, privacy, security, and cryptography. Papers describing new methods or technologies, advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques and general survey papers indicating future directions are also encouraged.

The Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following:

1. - Inspection and forensics technologies
   

2. - Threat and vulnerability identification and modelling
   

3. - Wireless communications security
   

4. - Network-centric systems and dependability
   

5. - Information security, encryption, privacy
   

6. - Access control and identity management
   

7. - Security and privacy protection mechanisms
   

8. - Cyber-physical threats, vulnerability analysis, and countermeasures
   

9. - Biometrics security and privacy
   

10. - Critical infrastructure protection
    

11. - Formal methods for security
    

12. - Human factors and human behaviour recognition techniques
    

13. - Identification, authentication and non-repudiation
    

14. - Security and privacy in pervasive/ubiquitous computing
    

15. - Security and privacy in smart grids
    

16. - Security and privacy in social networks
    

17. - Security and privacy in the cloud
    

18. - SLA security in the cloud
    

19. - Security weaknesses and protection of energy-control facilities
    

20. - Energy consumption attacks
