Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Computer Security – ESORICS 2013 18th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security, Egham, UK, September 9-13, 2013. Proceedings
This volume contains the papers selected for presentation at the 18th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS 2013), held during September 9–13, 2013, in Egham, UK. In response to the symposium’s call for papers, 242 papers were submitted to the conference from 38 countries. These papers were evaluated on the basis of their significance, novelty, technical quality, as well as on their practical impact and/or their level of advancement of the field’s foundations. The Program Committee’s work was carri ed out electronically, yielding in- tensive discussions over a period of a few weeks. Of the papers submitted, 43 were selected for presentation at the conf erence (resulting in an acceptance rate of 18%). We note that many top-quality submissions were not selected for pre- sentation because of the high technical level of the overall submissions, and we are certain that many of these submissions will, nevertheless, be published at other competitive forums in the future.
