Call for Papers

In a fast-growing cyber security threat landscape, game-changing techniques in information security, trust, privacy and forensics are required for a sustainable future. The 18th IEEE International Conference on Trust, Security and Privacy in Computing and Communications (IEEE TrustCom-19) will be held at Rotorua, New Zealand on 5-8 August 2019.

As a leading international conference in the area of trust, information security and privacy, and forensics, the IEEE TrustCom 2019 conference aims to bring together international researchers and practitioners working on trusted computing and communications, with regard to trust, security, privacy, reliability, dependability, survivability, availability, and fault tolerance aspects of computer systems and networks – providing a forum to present and discuss emerging ideas and trends in this highly challenging research field.
