**Important Dates** --------------------- Paper submission due: September 30, 2022 Notification of paper acceptance: October 31, 2022 Registration and Final manuscript due: November 15, 2022 Conference: December 13-15, 2022

**About IAS 2022** ---------------------

Information assurance and security have become important research issues in the networked and distributed information sharing environments. Finding effective ways to protect information systems, networks, and sensitive data within the critical information infrastructure is challenging even with the most advanced technology and trained professionals. The 18th International Conference on Information Assurance and Security (IAS) aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, developers, and policymakers involved in various information assurance and security disciplines to exchange ideas and learn the latest development in this crucial field.

**Topics (not limited to)** --------------------------- Information Assurance, Security Mechanisms, Methodologies and Models Authentication and Identity Management Authorization and Access Control Trust Negotiation, Establishment and Management Anonymity and User Privacy Data Integrity and Privacy Network Security Operating System Security Database Security Intrusion Detection Security Attacks Security Oriented System Design Security and Performance trade-off Security Management and Strategy Security Verification, Evaluations and Measurements Secure Software Technologies New Ideas and Paradigms for Security Cryptography Cryptographic Protocols Key Management and Recovery Secure System Architectures and Security Application Image Engineering, Multimedia Signal Processing and Communication Security

**Submission Guidelines** ------------------------- Submission of a paper should be made through the submission page from the conference web page. Please refer to the conference website for guidelines to prepare your manuscript.
