WISA 2024 : The 25th World Conference on Information Security Applications

WISA is the premier security research venue hosted by the Korea Institute of Information Security and Cryptology (KIISC) and the Electronics & Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) and co-sponsored by the National Intelligence Service (NIS), the Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT), the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA), and the National Security Research Institute (NSR) by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI).

This year, WISA will be exploring the innovative possibilities of various technologies in enhancing (and threatening) cyber security: artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain-driven security, hardware cryptography, and all other technical and practical aspects of security applications. We invite participants from a diverse group of researchers and practitioners who are passionate about advancing the state of the art as well as addressing fundamental security challenges. Join us at WISA 2024 and be part of the conversation that shapes the future of information security.
