Security and Control of IT in Society  II  (SCITS-II)

http://www.conference.sk/ifip/

June 15-16, 2001, Bratislava, Slovakia

organised by IFIP WG 9.6/11.7 (IT Misuse and the Law),
the Department of Computer Science, Comenius University, Bratislava,
and the Slovak Society for Computer Science


IFIP Working Group 9.6/11.7 (IT Misuse and the Law) invites you to
contribute to its activities by submitting papers for presentation at its
3rd working conference, which will be organised in cooperation with the
Department of Computer Science of the Comenius University in Bratislava and
the Slovak Society for Computer Science.
In the Global Information Society, dependencies on IT are wide-spread
already and still rising. Yet IT and the emerging Global Information
Infrastructure (GII) introduce new opportunities for criminal activities,
and new potential threats to people and society. These threats and
opportunities have to be countered and controlled in a manner that balances
the benefits of IT. In order to make good use of the advantages offered by
the new Global Information Infrastructure, a secure and trustworthy
environment is needed, which takes also into account social and legal
values.
The working conference will focus on legal, social, technical, and
organisational aspects of information infrastructures and of new global
applications. It will further address how to prevent emerging threats to IT
systems security as well as risks to people, organisations, and society as
a whole.

Invited topics include, but are not limited to the following:
        Case studies of Misuse
        Risks in the GII to system security, people, and society
-    Risks of malware and intelligent agents
-    Internet Fraud
-    Risks through interception and tracking technologies
      Risks analysis methods: new approaches and experiences
      Critical Information Infrastructure Protection and Social Implications
      Approaches to high-tech crime prevention, detection, and investigation
      International Cooperation in fighting high-tech crime
      Multilateral Security
      Protecting users/usees by Privacy-Enhancing Technologies
      Users    security responsibilities
      Crypto / Anonymity debate
      IT law for preventing Misuse (e.g. in the area of Electronic Commerce)
      Regulations for Digital Signatures, concepts of Certification Authorities
      Perception of security in society, security awareness
