IFIP SEC conferences are the flagship events of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Technical Committee 11 (TC11) on Information Security and Privacy Protection in Information Processing Systems.
The IFIP SEC conferences aim to bring together primarily researchers, but also practitioners from academia, industry and governmental institutions to elaborate and discuss IT Security and Privacy Challenges that we are facing today and will be facing into the future.
The 2026 IFIP SEC Conference will be hosted at the Pan Pacific Hotel by Edith Cowan University in Perth, Australia. Perth is the capital city of Western Australia with a rich cultural history. Delegates can enjoy the natural beauty of the state, with miles of beaches, acres of forests, fascinating street art, restaurants and wineries.
Proceedings from this conference series will be published by Springer under the International Conference on ICT Systems Security and Privacy Protection series and indexed by DBLP and Scopus. Selected papers will be considered for publication in the TC11 Elsevier journal Computers and Security.
