IAS 2008: The Fourth International Conference on Information 
Assurance and Security 8-10 September 2008, Naples, Italy

Information assurance and security has become an important 
research issue in networked and distributed information 
sharing environments. 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 
International Symposium on Information Assurance and Security 
(IAS) aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, 
developers, and policy makers involved in multiple 
disciplines of information security and assurance to exchange 
ideas and to learn the latest development in this important field.
