Scope: Protecting the communication and data infrastructure of an
increasingly inter-connected world has become vital to the normal
functioning of all aspects of our world. Security has emerged as an
important scientific discipline whose many multifaceted complexities
deserve the attention and synergy of the mathematical, computer
science and engineering communities.

After the previous meetings held in Montreal, Grenoble, Toronto and
Paris, this fifth edition of the FPS symposium will be held at ETS
(Ecole de Technologie Superieure), in Montreal (QC, Canada), the 25th
and 26th of October of 2012.

The aim of this event is to discuss and exchange theoretical and
practical ideas that address security issues in inter-connected
systems. It aims to provide scientific presentations as well as to
establish links, promote scientific collaboration, joint research
programs, and student exchanges between institutions involved in this
important and fast moving research field.

Topics: we invite papers from researchers and practitioners working in
security, privacy, trustworthy data systems and related areas to
submit their original papers. The main topics, but not limited to,
include:

* Cryptography & Cryptanalysis
* Security in Service Oriented Architectures
* Security in Web Services
* Security Administration
* Policy-based Security Architectures
* Security of Distributed Embedded Middleware
* Access Control Languages
* Trust Management
* Game Theory
* Risk Assessment and Assurance
* Threat Analysis
* Distributed Security Protocols
* Security of Grid Computing
* Malware & Botnet Detection
* Protocol Verification
* Privacy & Sensitive Data Management
* Data Mining
* Security of Cloud Computing
* Watermarking
* Side Channel Attacks
* Monitoring and Auditing
* Privacy in Social Networks
* Information Theoretic Security
* Information Flow
* Security in Ambient Intelligence (AmI) Applications
* Security in Sensor Networks and RFIDs

Submission Guidelines: Full papers should be at most 16 pages (using
11-point font), excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices.
Position papers, as well as extended abstract and contributed talks,
should be up to 8 pages (using 11-point font). Committee members are
not required to read the appendices, so the paper should be
intelligible without them.

All submissions must be written in English. Authors must submit their
papers by the deadline indicated below, using the EasyChair web site
(using the link http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fps2012)
and following the requirements stated there. All papers will be
refereed. The submitted contribution should be formatted according to
Springer's LNCS style. Submissions by PhD students as well as surveys
and controversial ideas are encouraged. Case studies (successful or
not) are also encouraged.

Publication: Proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) series. At least one author of each accepted
paper must register to the symposium, by the early date indicated by
the organizers, and present the paper.
