1. 7th
International Conference on Software Security (ICSS 2021)
November 27 ~ 28, 2021, Dubai, UAE

Scope
7th
International Conference on Software Security (ICSS 2021) is traditionally, security in
software has been thought to be something that can be easily added on as a patch, post-
development, and sometimes even after the deployment of the software. According to the US-
Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT), “most successful attacks result from
targeting and exploiting known, non-patched software vulnerabilities and insecure software
configurations, many of which are introduced during design and code.” Hence, it is imperative
that secure design, coding and testing principles as well as deployment and maintenance are
thoroughly embedded in the software development life cycle. At the same time, software security
is very inter-disciplinary, as software is being developed for a variety of applications – web,
Internet, database, single and distributed computer systems, etc.
In the above context, the Fifth International Conference on Software Security brings together
researchers, faculty, students and industry professionals who are experts in different domains of
computer and information security, but all leading to the design, development, deployment and
maintenance of secure software. We invite papers that are both theoretical as well as practical in
nature, from both academia and industry. Some of the topics of interest (but not limited to) are:
