Today all kinds of ubiquitous systems, led by wireless sensor networks, can be seen as an unprecedented privacy risk given their ability to collect information on quantities and situations so far unsuspected. There is therefore an urgent need to develop mechanisms to ensure privacy in sensor networks.

Location Privacy in Wireless Sensor Networks focuses on location privacy, by which an attacker might determine the source and destination of communications with simple techniques. This poses a serious threat as the attacker might use this information to reach the assets or individuals being monitored or even to destroy or compromise the whole network. This book will aid in the protection against this serious privacy threat.

The 21 full and 7 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 68 submissions. They were organized into the following topical sections: Cryptography I, System and Network Security, Security Protocol and Tool, Access Control and Authentication, Cryptography II, Data and User Privacy, Short Paper I, and Short Paper II.

This book describes cyber-security issues underpinning several cyber-physical systems and several application domains, proposing a common perspective able to collect similarities as well as depict divergences and specific solution methods. Special attention is given to those approaches and technologies that unleash the power of collaboration among stakeholders, in a field based often developed in isolation and segregation of information.

Given the pervasively growing dependency of society on IT technology, and the corresponding proliferation of cyber-threats, there is both an imperative need and opportunity to develop a coherent set of techniques to cope with the changing nature of the upcoming cyber-security challenges. These include evolving threats and new technological means to exploit vulnerabilities of cyber-physical systems that have direct socio-technical, societal and economic consequences for Europe and the world. We witness cyber-attacks on large scale infrastructures for energy, transport, healthcare systems and smart systems. The interplay between security and safety issues is now paramount and will be even more relevant in the future. 

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on EISA--Emerging Information Security and Applications, EISA 2024, held in Changzhou, China, during October 18–19, 2024.

The 15 full papers and 3 short papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 52 submissions. The topics covered adversarial techniques, intrusions that may threaten the security of various assets, including information and applications, have become more complex.
