2017 Seventh International Conference on Emerging Security Technologies (EST)

The conference invites security-oriented contributions in information technologies, robotics, cognitive systems, biotechnologies, and nanotechnologies. Novel concepts related to hardware and software implementations are equally welcomed. Previous editions included papers in biometrics and forensics, personal mobile/ wireless security, robotic and unmanned vehicle system security, perimeter, border, and homeland security, internet and cyber-security (detection and prevention of cyber-crimes and identity theft), security of critical infrastructure systems, security of emergency response systems and hybrid security systems. Papers on the security of emerging fields like the internet of things, pervasive computing and body wearable health devices can also be submitted. 
Papers may present advances in the theory, design, implementation, analysis, verification, or empirical evaluation and measurement of secure systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Access control and authorisation    

- Intrusion detection and prevention
- Accountability    

- Malware and unwanted software
- Anonymity    

- Mobile and web security and privacy
- Application security    

- Network and systems security
- Attacks and defences    

- Privacy technologies and mechanisms
