Emerging Aspects in Information Security (EAIS'14)
Warsaw, Poland, 7 - 10 September, 2014

Admittedly, information security works as a 
backbone for protecting both user data and electronic transactions. 
Protecting the communication and data infrastructure of an increasingly 
inter-connected world has become vital nowadays. Security has emerged as an important scientific discipline whose many multifaceted complexities deserve the attention and synergy of the computer science, engineering, and information systems communities. Information security has some 
well-founded technical research directions which encompass access level 
(user authentication and authorization), protocol security, software 
security, and data cryptography. Moreover, some other emerging topics 
related to organizational security aspects have appeared beyond the 
long-standing research directions.
The Emerging Aspects in Information Security (EAIS 2014) workshop focuses on the diversity of the information security 
developments and deployments in order to highlight the most recent 
challenges and report the most recent researches. The workshop is an 
umbrella for all information security technical aspects. In addition, it goes beyond the technicalities and covers some emerging topics like 
social and organizational security research directions. EAIS 2014 is 
intended to attract researchers and practitioners from academia and 
industry, and provides an international discussion forum in order to 
share their experiences and their ideas concerning emerging aspects in 
information security met in different application domains. This opens 
doors for highlighting unknown research directions and tackling modern 
research challenges. The objectives of the EAIS 2014 workshop can be 
summarized as follows:
	* To review and conclude researches in information security and other 
security domains, focused on the protection of different kinds of assets and processes, and to identify approaches that may be useful in the 
application domains of information security
	* To find synergy between different approaches, allowing to elaborate 
integrated security solutions, e.g. integrate different risk-based 
management systems
	* To exchange security-related knowledge and experience between experts 
to improve existing methods and tools and adopt them to new application 
areas
	* To present latest security challenges, especially with respect to EC Horizon 2020
