The fifth issue of the conference "Sicherheit, Schutz und Zuverlässigkeit" (SICHERHEIT) will take place in October 2010 in Berlin. SICHERHEIT is the German forum for experts from academia and industry to discuss both aspects of the German term "Sicherheit", meaning the combination of safety (protection from catastrophic events of technical systems) and security (protection of confidentiality and integrity of information in technical systems). In 2010, SICHERHEIT is co-located with the conference Information Security Solutions Europe (ISSE). The conference language is English and so SICHERHEIT also welcomes participants and submissions from non-German-speaking countries. SICHERHEIT is organized by Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V, the German non-profit organization of computing professionals with around 25.000 members. ISSE/SICHERHEIT is jointly organized by Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V., eema, TeleTrusT and ENISA.

Topics

The conference will feature papers from the broad range of safety and security, for example on the following topics:

• biometrics, privacy, data protection
• e-commerce, e-government
• certification of safe and secure systems
• cryptography, digital signatures, steganography
• development and maintenance of safe and secure systems
• formal methods for safe and secure systems
• management of safe and secure systems, management of information security
• network security
• reactive security ("Reaktive Sicherheit")
• reliability and availability

The language of the conference and all conference presentations is English. Accepted papers can be both German and English. The conference will feature the following types of papers:

• Academic papers describing novel research results. Papers were reviewed by the program committee. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. The proceedings will appear in the series Lecture Notes in Informatics (LNI) published by Gesellschaft für Informatik.

• Special Sessions are organized by Special Interest Groups within Gesellschaft für Informatik and are reviewed mainly by members of those Special Interest Groups that are also members of the program committee of SICHERHEIT.
