Information Security Technical Report is a quarterly technical report, focused on a specific topic. It is aimed at senior information
security managers, who need to gain a better understanding of current information security issues and solutions, and provides 'off-the
shelf' consultancy from professional researchers and practitioners. The main objective of the report is to provide a balanced, impartial,
up to date, and authoritative view of specific topics within the information security arena. The report is a joint venture between Elsevier
and the Information Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London.
Submissions
Original submissions on
information security topics are welcomed, especially those of practical benefit to the computer security practitioner. The usual size
of a paper is 5000 to 10 000 words. Papers should be submitted in digital form, by email wherever possible, to the Editor, Chez Ciechanowicz
at Z.Ciechanowicz@rhul.ac.uk.
All contributions should be in English and, since the readership of the journal is international,
authors are reminded that simple, concise sentences are our preferred style. All technical terms which may be unknown to the readers
should be clearly explained. Copyright is retained by the publisher, Elsevier Ltd, and the submission of a paper implies that it is not
being considered for publication elsewhere.
Please ensure that the title contains all the authors' names, affiliations, and their
full mailing addresses. These should be followed by a brief abstract and a list of five to ten keywords.
Please supply figures and
tables separately. Figures should be good resolution computer-generated graphics, clearly printed black and white line drawings, or black
and white glossy photographs. All illustrations should be large enough to withstand 50% reduction and still be easily readable. Try to
incorporate all material into the text, and avoid footnotes wherever possible. Any measurements must be in SI units. References should
be consecutively numbered throughout the text and then listed in full at the end of the paper.
Accepted papers
If the paper is accepted, or accepted subject to revision, the authors are requested to send a digital copy of the final version of the
paper. Please supply the digital file as a Microsoft Word file. If supplying a Latex file please provide an Adobe PDF file too.
Illustrations
should again be supplied separately. We will also need a short (100 words) biographical sketch of each author.
A copy of the relevant
journal issue will be supplied free of charge to the main author. Twenty five reprints can be provided on request. Further reprints (minimum
order of 100) can be supplied at a reasonable cost if the request is received before the issue goes to press.
