CALL FOR PAPERS

1 International Conference on Cyber Security for Sustainable Society 2015 26-27th February 2015, Coventry, United Kingdom AIMS AND SCOPE

IMPORTANT DATES

Modern society aspires to be economically and socially sustainable. The digital infrastructure underpinning our society allows us to achieve these goals by various mechanisms including online social networks, trust and reputation, peer-to-peer and content sharing, secure transactions and online voting. Such mechanisms however are at increasing risk from cyber attacks, industrial espionage, online fraud and government surveillance; each serving to undermine trust and security at different levels.
