Brief Description

With the advent of pervasive computer applications and due to the proliferation of heterogeneous wired and wireless networks, computer and network security has become paramount. The ChinaCom2008 Network and Information Security Symposium will address all aspects of the modeling, design, implementation, deployment, and management of computer/network security algorithms, protocols, architectures, and systems. Furthermore, contributions to the evaluation, optimization, and/or enhancement of security mechanisms for current technologies as well as the achievements in devising efficient security and privacy solutions for emerging technologies are solicited. High-quality and original research papers are solicited in all areas of computer and network security systems. The symposium solicits original papers on all aspects of network and information security.
