Aim and Scope

The global economic infrastructure is becoming increasingly dependent upon information technology, with computer and communication technology being essential and vital components of Government facilities, power plant systems, medical infrastructures, financial centres and military installations to name a few. Finding effective ways to protect information systems, networks and sensitive data within the critical information infrastructure is challenging even with the most advanced technology and trained professionals.

The primary aim of the Information Assurance and Security Letters (IASL) is to publish quality short papers (no more than 6 pages) of new developments and trends, novel techniques and approaches, innovative methodologies and technologies on the theory and applications of information assurance and security. Papers more than 6 pages will be automatically considered for publication in the Journal of Information Assurance and Security (JIAS).

IASL is a peer reviewed international journal with a key objective to provide the academic and industrial community a medium for presenting original research and applications related to information assurance and security. IASL invites authors to submit their original and unpublished work that communicates current research on information assurance and security regarding both the theoretical and methodological aspects, as well as various applications in solving real world information security problems.
