4. Smartcards and security tokens
5. Security models and languages for security policies specification
6. Risk evaluation and management
7. Security and cryptographic protocols and applied cryptography
8. Security evaluation and confirmation (i.e. common criteria)
9. Trust models and trust management
10. Database security
11. Information flow and language-based security, mobile code
12. Intrusion detection system and firewalls
13. Network and operating systems security
14. Security in emerging network technologies: pervasive computing mobile, ad hoc and sensor networks
15. Legal issues, computer crime and information warfare

The primary focus is on high-quality original unpublished research, case studies, and implementation experiences. Papers should have practical relevance to the construction, evaluation, application, or operation of the systems. Theoretical papers must make convincing argument for the practical significance of the results.
