*PRESENTATION*

The Brazilian Symposium on Information and System Security (SBSeg)
 is an annual scientific event, promoted by the Brazilian Computer 
Society (SBC). It is the main brazilian forum for the presentation and
 discussion of research and activities related to information and 
system security, bringing together academia, industry and other active
 parties in this area. The 12th edition of the symposium will be held 
in Curitiba, the city capital of Paraná State, on November 19 to 22, 
2012.

In the context of information and system security, scientific papers 
are welcome in one or more of the following topics. This is certainly 
a non-exhaustive list. Serious papers in related areas will also be 
considered.

- Access control, authentication and identity management
- Adaptive security
- Anonymity and privacy
- Attack and vulnerability prevention
- Biometric systems and techniques
- Cloud computing security
- Computational forensics and criminalistics
- Constrained hardware security: RFID tags, smart cards, wireless 
  sensors

- Network security: superposition networks, virtual networks, wireless 
  networks
- Security incident response
- Security in mobile and embedded systems
- Security in ubiquitous and pervasive computing
- Security of applications (Digital TV, E-banking, etc)
- Security of smart grids, smart meters and smart houses
- Security and privacy in social networks
- Security of web services, distributed systems and operating systems
- Security policies, standards and norms
- Smart card security
- Software security: development, tests and certification

*INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS*

Submitted papers should describe relevant research, experiment 
reports and case studies. Submission will be accepted solely through 
SBC's JEMS system. JEMS' URL will be made available soon. All 
submissions must be anonymous, that is, they should not reveal 
information in the header, body or references that could easily be 
used to infer the authors' identity. Articles can be  submitted in one 
of two categories:

1- Full papers - a full, or complete, paper should present research 
work developed to the point of producing original and relevant results,
 fully analyzed and validated. Moreover, the paper's presentation 
should contain a careful and well-based description of the research, 
as well as conclusions which are consistent with the obtained results. 

2- Short papers - a short paper presents research results that, albeit
original, are still in a preliminary stage of development. The objective
of this category is to provide an opportunity for the presentation and 
discussion of good ideas, even if not fully developed or validated. 

Authors should submit their work in only ONE of the two categories 
above. At the time of submission, authors should check whether the 
correct choice of category was made. Full and short papers will have 
different review criteria. Therefore, a paper's category cannot be 
altered after submission.

Articles can be submitted in Portuguese or English, only in PDF format.
The text should be formatted using the SBC template available at 
www.sbc.org.br/en (click on "Documents" at the CONTENT menu, then
click on "Templates for Articles and Book Chapters"). Full papers have 
a limit of 14 pages, including figures, tables, references and appendix.
Short papers have a limit of 7 pages.

Papers will undergo  a double-blind review process by the Program 
Committee. Accepted papers (in any of the two categories) must be 
presented by one of the registered authors in order to be published 
in the Proceedings of the 12th SBSeg.  Full and short papers will be 
published in different sections of the proceedings. The PC will also 
select the best among the accepted and presented full papers.

NOTE: Articles must have title, author(s), abstract and keywords 
registered by the June 24 deadline, 23:55h, Brasilia time. Once 
registered, papers can be submitted until the July 01 deadline, 
23:55h, Brasilia time. Only articles registered by the June 24 deadline
will be accepted for submission.
