These include information security and their applications in digital forensics, AI algorithms for use in malicious software detection, and deep learning technique customised for the cyber security community, etc. The purpose of ATIS is to provide a forum for presentation and discussion of innovative ideas, research results, applications and experience from around the world. The annual ATIS conference highlights new results in the design and analysis of digital security hardware and software implementations. ATIS provides a valuable connection between the theoretical and implementation communities and attracts participants from industry, academia, and government organisations. The 2021 International Conference on Applications and Technologies in Information Security (ATIS), will be the twelfth (12th) event in the ATIS series, which started in 2010. ATIS 2021 focuses on all aspects of new theories, novel techniques and innovative applications of Cybersecurity, Zero Trust Access (ZTA) Architecture, and Privacy/Security of Autonomous Vehicles. Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings to be published as Springer's Communications in Computer and Information Science Series (EI-indexed). ATIS 2021 CCIS Volume will be systematically submitted by Springer to various indexing services, including EI-Compendex, DBLP, Google Scholar, etc. ========================== Topics of Interest ========================== ATIS 2021 solicits research papers describing significant and innovative research contributions to the field of Information and Cyber security.

All papers will be handled electronically and double-blind reviewed by the Program Committee on the basis of technical quality, relevance to ATIS, originality, significance, and clarity. All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers that do not comply with the Submission Guidelines may be rejected without review. Please note: (1) Authors are strongly encouraged to use Springer LNCS/LNAI manuscript submission guidelines for their initial submissions. (2) All papers must be submitted electronically through the paper submission system in PDF format only. (3) Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. (4) Papers must be clearly presented in English and will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. (5) As papers will be blind refereed, submitted papers must be fully anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references. The paper must start with a title, an abstract, and keywords. (6) Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference to present the work (virtual in 2021). ========================== Publication ========================== Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings to be published as Springer's Communications in Computer and Information Science Series (EI-indexed).
