Increasingly, global society is adapting to computerized information systems for all data and information transactions. People tend to store all their personal, business and public information on the web for enhanced storage, search and access. While society relies on web and computerized information storage, attackers misuse the technology and secure the sensitive information.

To prevent such attacks, information security researchers have developed mechanisms and technology to protect data loss and intrusion. Intrusion and prevention are on-going processes and technology development reflects upon these operations. Users need to understand the data protection mechanisms comprehensively. Comprehensive knowledge on information security is required not only for researchers and practitioners, but also for policy makers, system managers, owners and administrators. The process of building and imparting information security knowledge is possible through the creation of a comprehensive collection of research on the topic.. Unfortunately, such a collection of research on security does not exist. The forthcoming handbook on Information Security will address significant issues in the field.

SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit a 2-5 page manuscript proposal clearly explaining the objective and concerns of the proposed chapter on or before May 15. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified about the status of their proposals and sent chapter organizational guidelines. Full chapters should be about 8,000-10,000 words in length and expected to be submitted by September 30, 2008. All chapters will be subject to a double-blind peer review process.

The proposed handbook would address, but is not limited to, the following topics:

Access Control
