Overview

The FTRA 2010 International Symposium on Advances in Cryptography, Security and Applications for Future Computing (ACSA-10)  will be held in Gwangju, Korea, December 9-11, 2010.

ACSA-10 will be the most comprehensive workshop focused on advances in Cryptography, Security and Applications for Future Computing. ACSA-09 is intended to foster state-of-the-art research in the area of cryptography, security and its applications for Future Computer Science (FCS). The FCS represents an interdisciplinary field with roots in mathematics and engineering with applications in future computing environments including ubiquitous, pervasive, grid, and P2P computing. It aims to solve the various problems of advanced computing and communication services using mathematics and computer science in future computing environments. The reliable security solutions that rely on in depth cryptography are required as a countermeasure, such as data confidentiality, data integrity, authentication, non-repudiation, and access control services. This workshop focuses on advances in cryptography, security and its application for FCS. This workshop will also serve as a landmark source for cryptography, security and its applications for FCS and will provide reader the most important state-of-the-art technologies in areas of applied mathematics for FCS. This workshop aims to address the importance of cryptography, security and its application for FCS and to encourage researchers to publish their results in notable journals. It will accept both original research papers and review articles that enhance the state-of-the-art approaches and solutions in the area of advances in cryptography, security and its applications for FCS. The papers will be peer reviewed and will be selected on the basis of their quality and relevance to the theme of this workshop.

The ACSA-10 is the next event in a series of highly successful the FTRA International Symposium on Advances in Cryptography, Security and Applications for Future Computing, previously held as FTRA ACSA-09, Jeju, Korea, December 11-12, 2009.
