Computer security has been a major concern of technical community since 1950s. The ubiquity of Internet has engendered the prevalence of information sharing among networked users and organizations.  This has rendered countless invasions of privacy and security around the world. The risk of invasion has generated enormous concern on information and computer security among businesses, governments, legislators, academics, researchers, scientists, and the public.  The International Journal of Information and Computer Security aims to promote and coordinate developments of information and computer security in the fields of information technology, political science, informatics, sociology, engineering, and science.  The Journal invites papers representing synergy between theory and practices to help policy makers and executives manage information and computer security and its related technologies.  It focuses on theory, design, implementation, analysis, and application of secure information and computer systems.  Emphases will also be on the related social, political and economic issues as well as emerging issues of interest to legislators, professionals, researchers, academics, and technical community.  The IJICS publishes original and review papers, technical reports, case studies, conference reports, management reports, book reviews, notes, and commentaries.  We welcome both submissions and inquiries from potential authors. Questions should be addressed to the Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Dr. Eldon Y. Li, at eli@calpoly.edu.
