SEPT: Security, Privacy & Trust in Computing

As most of our personal and organizational information are being stored and communicated digitally, security, privacy, and trust aspects related to these information and their communications are crucial. The COMPSAC Symposium on Security, Privacy and Trust in Computing (SEPT) is aimed to primarily cover the security, privacy, and trust aspects of software technologies and applications. Following the theme of the COMPSAC main conference, the SEPT Symposium will accept research papers and experience reports on various software application systems where security, privacy, and trust issues have been addressed. The security, privacy, and trust requirements need to be specified, analyzed, implemented, verified, and monitored in most software systems where the quality of service primarily depends on these requirements.
