Memo

17th International Conference on Communications Security & Information Assurance (CSIA 2026) September 19 ~ 20, 2026, Copenhagen, Denmarkhttps://iccsea2026.org/csia/index SCOPE The 17th International Conference on Communications Security & Information Assurance (CSIA 2026) serves as a premier forum for presenting cutting edge research, innovations, and technological advancements in securing modern communication systems. As wired, wireless, mobile, cloud and distributed networks continue to evolve in scale and complexity, the challenges surrounding communications security and information assurance have grown more sophisticated than ever before. CSIA 2026 brings together leading researchers, industry experts, practitioners, and innovators to address these challenges, explore emerging threats, and develop robust, future ready security solutions. The conference aims to foster a deeper understanding of modern security threats, attack surfaces, and adversarial techniques, while highlighting state of the art countermeasures, architectures, protocols, and defense mechanisms. By bridging academia and industry, CSIA 2026 provides a collaborative environment where participants can exchange ideas, share practical experiences, and establish new partnerships that drive the next generation of secure communication technologies.Authors are invited to contribute original research articles, case studies, experimental results, survey papers, and industrial experiences that demonstrate significant advances in communications security and information assurance.
