This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security, ESORICS 2005, held in Milan, Italy in September 2005. The 27 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 159 submissions. Among the topics addressed are access control, security protocols, digital signature schemes, intrusion detection, voting systems, electronic voting, authorization, language-based security, network security, denial-of-service attacks, anonymous communications, and security analysis.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security, ESORICS 2007, held in Dresden, Germany in September 2007. It features 39 revised full papers. ESORICS is confirmed as the European research event in computer security. It presents original research contributions, case studies and implementation experiences that address any aspect of computer security, in theory, mechanisms, applications, or practical experience.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security, ESORICS '96, held in Rome, Italy, in September 1996 in conjunction with the 1996 Italian National Computer Conference, AICA '96. The 21 revised full papers presented in the book were carefully selected from 58 submissions. They are organized in sections on electronic commerce, advanced access control models for database systems, distributed systems, security issues for mobile computing, network security, theoretical foundations of security, and secure database architectures.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 14th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security, ESORICS 2009, held in Saint-Malo, France, in September 2009. The 42 papers included in the book were carefully reviewed and selected from 220 papers. The topics covered are network security, information flow, language based security, access control, privacy, distributed systems security, security primitives, web security, cryptography, protocols, and systems security and forensics.

The EuropeanSymposium on Researchin Computer Security (ESORICS) has a tradition that goes back two decades. It tries to bring together the international research community in a top-quality event that covers all the areas of computer security, ranging from theory to applications. ESORICS 2010 was the 15th edition of the event. It was held in Athens, Greece, September 20-22, 2010. The conference received 201 submissions. The papers went through a careful review process. In a ?rst round, each paper - ceived three independent reviews. For the majority of the papers an electronic discussion was also organized to arrive at the ?nal decision. As a result of the review process, 42 papers were selected for the ?nal program, resulting in an - ceptance rate of as low as 21%. The authors of accepted papers were requested to revise their papers, based on the comments received. The program was c- pleted with an invited talk by Udo Helmbrecht, Executive Director of ENISA (European Network and Information Security Agency). ESORICS 2010 was organized under the aegisof three Ministries of the G- ernment of Greece, namely: (a) the Ministry of Infrastructure, Transport, and Networks, (b) the General Secretariat for Information Systems of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, and (c) the General Secretariat for e-Governance of the Ministry of Interior, Decentralization, and e-Government.

Research on Secure Key Establishment has become very active within the last few years. Secure Key Establishment discusses the problems encountered in this field. This book also introduces several improved protocols with new proofs of security. Secure Key Establishment identifies several variants of the key sharing requirement. Several variants of the widely accepted Bellare and Rogaway (1993) model are covered. A comparative study of the relative strengths of security notions between these variants of the Bellare–Rogaway model and the Canetti–Krawczyk model is included. An integrative framework is proposed that allows protocols to be analyzed in a modified version of the Bellare–Rogaway model using the automated model checker tool. Secure Key Establishment is designed for advanced level students in computer science and mathematics, as a secondary text or reference book. This book is also suitable for practitioners and researchers working for defense agencies or security companies.

The current IT environment deals with novel, complex approaches such as information privacy, trust, digital forensics, management, and human aspects. This volume includes papers offering research contributions that focus both on access control in complex environments as well as other aspects of computer security and privacy.
