WISTP 2012
Schedule:             June 19-22, 2012
Title: The 6th Workshop in Information Security Theory and Practices (WISTP 2012)

The ISG/ Smart Card Centre (SCC) is hosting the 6th Workshop in Information Security Theory and Practices (WISTP 2012). The SCC played a pivotal role (along with colleagues from France, Belgium and Greece) in bringing this workshop into existence. The workshop’s steering committee has made this event successful, recognised, and equally important an event that bridges theory and practice in the field of Information Security. It is a testimony to this success that every year the conference presents a strong academic programme, the publisher for the conference proceedings is Springer and the event’s programme committee along with the invited speakers are drawn from international experts in the field. We look forward to hosting a successful event.

For more information please contact Dr Keith Mayes (keith.mayes@rhul.ac.uk), Dr Konstantinos Markantonakis (k.markantonakis@rhul.ac.uk), or visit the WISTP website at (www.wistp.org)
