The IEEE International Carnahan Conference on Security Technology (ICCST2021) has been rescheduled from September 1-3, and will now be held during 11-15 October 2021. As before, it will be held online using Zoom. We have changed the nature of the conference. We are now asking authors to prepare a PowerPoint presentation, with a voice over, which we will make available to all delegates. The online conference will comprise programmed question and answer sessions only. Detailed instructions are given below.

 

The International Carnahan Conference on Security Technology, sponsored by IEEE, is one of the longest running international technical symposia. This conference has a broad scope and invites papers on advanced security technologies including physical, cyber and electronic security research, development, systems engineering, testing, evaluation, case studies and new research lines to face current and future challenges. All papers will be carefully subjected to a blind review process. The conference proceedings will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore® digital library.

Authors of the 8-10 best papers will be invited by the editorial committee to prepare an extended version to be published in a special issue of the open access journal Sensors (impact factor 3.576).
