Scope
The 11th International Conference on Security of Information and Networks (SIN-2018) organised by Cardiff University, School of Computer Science and Informatics, provides an excellent international forum for sharing knowledge and results in theory, methodology and applications of Security in information and networks. Papers, special sessions, tutorials, and workshops addressing all aspects and issues of security in information and networks are being pursued. The conference invites significant contributions from researchers and industrial working on the development of cryptographic algorithms, security schemes, cryptanalysis, application security, system security, cloud security and network security. The conference aims to provide a platform to the researchers and practitioners from both academia as well as industry to meet and share cutting-edge advancements in the field of information and network security.

Topic of Interest
Authors are solicited to contribute to the conference by submitting articles that illustrate research results, project outputs, surveys and industrial experiences that describe significant advances in the following areas, but are not limited to:

Network defence
Tools and development platforms
Malware analysis
Security in cyber-physical systems
Security in space science
Key management and distribution
Virus and worm analysis
Big-data trust, security and privacy
Security in mobile devices
Security and privacy social networks
