Proceedings of the 25th International Conference on Information and Communications Security (ICICS 2023)

The 25th International Conference on Information and Communications Security, ICICS 2023, was held in Tianjin, China, from November 18 to 20, 2023. This volume, LNCS 14252, represents the refereed proceedings of the conference. The proceedings include 38 full papers and 6 short papers, which were carefully reviewed and selected from 181 submissions.

The conference focused on several key areas, including Symmetric-Key Cryptography, Public-Key Cryptography, Applied Cryptography, Authentication and Authorization, Privacy and Anonymity, Security and Privacy of AI, Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies, and System and Network Security.

Symmetric-Key Cryptography is a fundamental area of cryptography, where a single secret key is shared between the sender and the receiver to encrypt and decrypt messages. Public-Key Cryptography, on the other hand, uses a pair of keys: a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption. Applied Cryptography involves the practical application of cryptographic techniques to real-world problems, such as secure communication, data protection, and digital signatures.

Authentication and Authorization are critical for ensuring the identity and access rights of users and systems. Privacy and Anonymity address the protection of personal information and the ability to maintain one's privacy in digital environments. Security and Privacy of AI is an emerging area that examines the security implications and privacy concerns associated with the use of artificial intelligence technologies.

Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies have gained significant attention in recent years, and the conference covered topics related to the security and privacy aspects of these technologies. System and Network Security is a broad area that encompasses the protection of computer systems, networks, and the information they process and transmit.

The high-quality papers presented at ICICS 2023 showcase the latest advancements and research in these critical areas of information and communications security. The proceedings provide a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and students working in the field of information security.
