The 2012 European Security Conference
- Exploring emergent frontiers in identity and privacy management

The 3rd European Security Conference is scheduled for September 12-13, 2012 in Orebro, Sweden. The Conference is an European extension of the Annual Security Conference that has been held in Las Vegas (USA) for over a decade. The conference attracts a nice mix of participants from academia, government and industry. Co-organizers for the European 2012 event are Orebro University, Lulea University of Technology, Information Institute and Virginia Commonwealth University. Administrative office for the conference is at Orebro University.

The theme of the 2012 event is identity and privacy management. With widespread use of Internet based technologies and the general virtualization of work, the manner in which individuals identify with organizations and the relation enterprises might have with individuals is evolving. Such changes are defining the manner in which privacy is handled, identity is protected and responsibility and accountability established. The 2012 European Security Conference aspires to establish a discourse in this domain.
