<p>**About IAS 2022**<br>---------------------</p>
<p>Information assurance and security have become important <br>research issues in the networked and distributed information <br>sharing environments. Finding effective ways to protect information <br>systems, networks, and sensitive data within the critical information <br>infrastructure is challenging even with the most advanced technology <br>and trained professionals. The 18th International Conference on <br>Information Assurance and Security (IAS) aims to bring together <br>researchers, practitioners, developers, and policymakers involved <br>in various information assurance and security disciplines to exchange <br>ideas and learn the latest development in this crucial field.</p>
<p>**Topics (not limited to)**<br>---------------------------<br>Information Assurance, Security Mechanisms, Methodologies and Models<br>Authentication and Identity<br>Management Authorization and Access Control<br>Trust Negotiation, Establishment and Management<br>Anonymity and User Privacy<br>Data Integrity and Privacy<br>Network Security<br>Operating System Security<br>Database Security<br>Intrusion Detection<br>Security Attacks<br>Security Oriented System Design<br>Security and Performance trade-off<br>Security Management and Strategy<br>Security Verification, Evaluations and Measurements<br>Secure Software Technologies<br>New Ideas and Paradigms for Security<br>Cryptography<br>Cryptographic Protocols<br>Key Management and Recovery<br>Secure System Architectures and Security Application<br>Image Engineering, Multimedia Signal Processing and Communication Security</p>
