Aim and Scope

The global economic infrastructure is becoming increasingly dependent upon information technology, with computer and communication technology being essential and vital components of Government facilities, power plant systems, medical infrastructures, financial centres and military installations to name a few. Finding effective ways to protect information systems, networks and sensitive data within the critical information infrastructure is challenging even with the most advanced technology and trained professionals.

JIAS is a peer reviewed international journal with a key objective to provide the academic and industrial community a medium for presenting original research and applications related to information assurance and security. JIAS invites authors to submit their original and unpublished work that communicates current research on information assurance and security regarding both the theoretical and methodological aspects, as well as various applications in solving real world information security problems.
 

Journal Topics

JIAS publishes two types of articles: regular papers and brief papers. Review management is primarily under the direction of an associate editor, who will solicit reviews for each submission. The associate editor will ordinarily make a recommendation after receiving three independent reviews. To avoid delays in processing your paper, please follow these guidelines.

All correspondence concerning submissions is between the author and the Editor-in-Chief. To submit your paper for consideration, visit the web submission system found at:
