New approaches for security, privacy and trust in complex environments Book

This book contains the Proceedings of the 22nd IFIP TC-11 International Information Security Conference (IFIP/SEC 2007) on "New Approaches for Security, Privacy and Trust in Complex Environments" held in Sandton, South Africa from 14 to 16 May 2007. The IFIP/SEC conferences are the flagship events of TC-11. In May 1995 South Africa for the first time hosted an IFIP/SEC conference in Cape Town. Now, twelve years later, we are very pleased to have succeeded in our bid to once again present the IFIP/SEC conference in South Africa. The current IT environment deals with novel, complex approaches such as information privacy, trust, digital forensics, management, and human aspects. This modem environment challenges the whole information security research community to focus on interdisciplinary and holistic approaches, whilst retaining the benefit of previous research efforts. Papers offering research contributions that focus both on access control in complex environments and on other aspects of computer security and privacy were solicited for submission to IFIP/SEC 2007. A total of 107 submissions were received, which were all reviewed by at least three members of the international programme committee.
