Dear colleagues,

 

With the rise of big data, information security is more important than ever. With the increasing amount of sensitive information being transmitted and stored online, it is critical to have robust security measures in place to protect against cyber threats such as hacking, malware, and phishing attacks. One of the most important aspects of information security is the use of strong passwords. Passwords are the first line of defense against unauthorized access to personal or sensitive information. In addition, it is important to avoid using the same password for multiple accounts and to change passwords regularly. Applied cryptography plays a crucial role in protecting data and ensuring secure communication. Encryption is one of the most commonly used cryptographic techniques. It involves converting plain text into a coded language that can only be deciphered with a specific key. This helps to prevent unauthorized access and ensure the confidentiality of sensitive information. By implementing strong security techniques, individuals and organizations can protect themselves against cyber threats and safeguard their sensitive information.

Thus, we are interested in collective information security and applied cryptography-related papers. Authors are invited to submit full papers presenting new research results related to cryptography, information security, and their applications for either the crypto track or security track. Research articles and reviews in this area of study are welcome. We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dear Colleagues,

 

Security systems are comprehensive sets of technologies, devices, and procedures designed to protect people, property, data, and assets from various threats, including unauthorized access, theft, vandalism, and other security risks. In our increasingly complex world, the failure of security can lead to dire consequences. Thus, security systems are widely used in residential, commercial, industrial, and government settings to create a safe and secure environment, playing a crucial role in safeguarding people, property, and data, and the service aspect is equally vital. Meanwhile, security systems, such as surveillance cameras and access control, contribute to the safety and well-being of individuals.

 

Security system services encompass a wide range of activities, tasks, and offerings related to the planning, installation, maintenance, and monitoring of security systems. Effective security system services provide rapid response to security breaches or emergencies, minimizing the impact of security incidents, and so on. These services are designed to enhance the safety and protection of individuals, property, and data. They can keep security technologies up-to-date and ensure the technologies can adapt to new risks and vulnerabilities.

 

In short, we are interested in security system services, covering a comprehensive array of topics related to the implementation and management of security systems. The section explores best practices for designing, installing, and maintaining security systems to ensure the safety and protection of assets, data, and individuals. Research reviews and articles in relevant areas are welcome.

 

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
