Information security and cryptology

More about the book

ICISC 2009, the 12th International Conference on Information Security and Cryptology, took place in Seoul, Korea, from December 2–4, 2009. Organized by the Korea Institute of Information Security and Cryptology (KIISC) and the Ministry of Public Administration and Security (MOPAS), the conference aimed to present new research, development, and applications in information security and cryptology, while facilitating research information exchange. It received 88 submissions from 22 countries, encompassing all areas of the field. The review process was conducted in two stages by a Program Committee (PC) of 57 prominent researchers through online meetings. Initially, at least three PC members blind-reviewed each paper, with papers co-authored by PC members reviewed by at least five. Following this, individual review reports were shared, leading to detailed discussions on each submission. Ultimately, 25 papers from 15 countries were selected, resulting in an acceptance rate of 28.4%. Authors of the accepted papers had several weeks to refine their work based on feedback from over 80 external reviewers. The conference also included a tutorial by Amit Sahai from the University of California and an invited talk by Michel Abdalla from École normale supérieure.
