This addition to ACM's Transactions Series is devoted to the study, analysis, and application of information and system security. TISSEC will begin as a paper-based journal, but will evolve into an electronic publication. The editorial board is committed to a turnaround time comparable to research conferences while ensuring archival journal quality.

Topics include:

• Security Technologies: authentication; authorization models and mechanisms; auditing and intrusion detection; cryptographic algorithms, protocols, services, and infrastructure;recovery and survivable operation; risk analysis; assurance including cryptanalysis and formal methods; penetration technologies including viruses, Trojan horses, spoofing,sniffing, cracking, and covert channels,
• Secure Systems: secure operating systems, database systems and networks; secure distributed systems including security middleware; secure web browsers, servers, and mobile code; specialized secure systems for specific application areas; interoperability, and composition,
• Security Applications: threats, system tradeoffs, and unique needs of applications; representative application areas include information systems, workflow, electronic commerce, electronic cash, copyright and intellectual property protection, telecommunications systems, wireless systems, and health care
• Security Policies: confidentiality, integrity, availability, privacy, usage, and survivability policies; tradeoffs, conflicts and synergy among security objectives
