(We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this email) **** International Conference on Cyber Security and Protection of Digital Services (Cyber Security 2021) June 14-16, 2021 | Virtual - Dublin, Ireland **** Theme: Advancing Cyber Security Education in a post-COVID World (https://www.c-mric.com/cs2021) The aim of the Cyber Security 2021 is to encourage participation and promotion of collaborative scientific, industrial and academic inter-workings among individual researchers, practitioners, members of existing associations, academia, standardisation bodies, and including government departments and agencies. The purpose is to build bridges between academia and industry, and to encourage interplay of different cultures. Cyber Security 2021 invites researchers and industry practitioners to submit papers that encompass principles, analysis, design, methods and applications. All submitted papers are independently peer-reviewed. All accepted papers must be registered (registrations fees TBD) and presented at the conference to be considered for listing in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library and other reputable bibliographic indexes. Previous conference papers are listed in IEEE Xplore ---------Submission Deadline Deadline for all paper submissions, that is, both full papers and extended abstracts for Poster, WIP, PoC, Research Idea and PhD Seminar presentations is 26th January 2021. ---------Topics of Interest Original papers are invited on recent advances in Cyber Security, Online Services, Blockchain, Distributed Ledger and Digital Services.
