Instructions for Authors: Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference/workshop with proceedings. Submissions must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references. Each paper should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords. Papers should be in Portable Document Format (.pdf), at most 12 pages excluding bibliography and appendices. Committee members are not required to read appendices; the paper should be intelligible without them. It is strongly preferred that submissions be processed in LaTeX according to the instructions listed on http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html, since this will be a mandatory requirement for the final version of papers. Authors of an accepted paper must guarantee that at least one of the authors will attend the conference and present their paper.

Advised by the ISC steering committee, to provide students with more opportunities for publication, from ISC’05, some extra number of student papers will be accepted besides the regular papers. Authors should mark it explicitly in submission, and the final version accepted in this category is limited to 6 pages in LNCS format.

Electronic Submission: All papers must be submitted electronically. A detailed description of the electronic submission procedure will appear by February 11, 2005 on ISC’05 web site. Electronic submissions must conform to this procedure and be received by April 11, 2005, 11pm GMT.

Proceedings: Proceedings will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science and will be available at the conference. Clear instructions about the preparation of a final proceedings version will be sent to the authors of accepted papers. Selected papers in the ISC'05 proceedings will be invited for submission to a special issue of International Journal of Information Security.
