The 17th International Conference on Security for Information Technology and Communications (SecITC 2024) will be held in Bucharest, Romania on November 21-22, 2024.

SecITC brings together computer security researchers, cryptographers, industry representatives and graduate students interested in any aspect of information security and privacy. One of SecITC’s primary goals is connecting security and privacy researchers as well as professionals from different communities and providing a forum that allows informal exchanges necessary for the emergence of new scientific and industrial collaborations. Since 2015, previous SecITC post-proceedings have been published by Springer as LNCS (see https://link.springer.com/conference/itc). Paper submission and refereeing for SecITC 2024 will take place via EasyChair and the post-proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

The conference topics comprise all aspects of information security, including but not limited to the following areas:

  • Access Control,
  • Algorithmic Tools for Security and Cryptography,
  • Application Security,
  • Applied Cryptography,
  • Artificial Intelligence for Security,
  • Application security,
  • Attacks and Defences,
  • Authentication Biometry,
  • Artificial Intelligence for Security,
  • Blockchain Security and Security aspects of alternative currencies,
  • Censorship and Censorship-Resistance,
  • Cloud Security,
  • Cryptology,
  • Distributed Systems Security,
  • Embedded Systems Security,

Peter Ryan trained as a theoretical physicist and holds a PhD in mathematical physics from the University of London. Prior to the University of Luxembourg, he worked at GCHQ and CESG, DRA Malvern, SRI Cambridge, CMU Pittsburg, and Newcastle University. In February of 2009, Peter Ryan took up a position as Professor of Information Security at the University of Luxembourg. He has over 20 years of experience in information assurance and formal verification. He pioneered the application of process algebras to modelling and analysis of secure systems and initiated and led the project that pioneered the application of process algebra and model-checking to the analysis of security protocols. The achievements of the project are gathered together in the book co-authored with Schneider, Lowe, Roscoe and Goldsmith: “Modelling and Analysis of Security Protocols”. He has published extensively on cryptography, cryptographic protocols, mathematical models of computer security and, most recently, high assurance voting systems. He is the (co-)creator of the Prêt à Voter, Pretty Good Democracy, OpenVote and Selene verifiable voting schemes.
Peter Roenne received his PhD in theoretical physics in 2007 from the University of Copenhagen. He has international experience as a postdoctoral researcher in physics and mathematics at Desy, Hamburg, 2007-2009 (string theory), University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 2010 (string theory), University of Cologne, 2011-2012 (condensed matter physics) and as AFR postdoctoral fellow at University of Luxembourg, 2013-2014 (mathematics). Peter changed to the field of cryptography in 2015 and joined INRIA, Nancy. His research is focused on cryptographic protocols with particular emphasis on security and usability in e-voting.
Carsten Schürmann is a professor in computer science at the IT University of Copenhagen, where he heads the Center for Information Security and Trust. His research focuses on election security. He consults with governmental and non-governmental organizations on Internet Voting. He has worked with the OSCE/ODIHR as a senior election expert and has been a member of several election observation missions, to Kenya 2017 (the Carter Center), USA 2018 (OSCE/ODIHR), and Estonia 2019 (OSCE/ODIHR). Prior to moving to Denmark, Carsten was a member of the computer science faculty at Yale University. He holds a PhD degree from Carnegie-Mellon University.
