The NordSec workshops were started in 1996 with the aim of bringing together - searchers and practitioners within computer security in the Nordic countries – thereby establishing a forum for discussions and co-operation between universities, industry and computer societies. Since then, the workshop has developed into a fully fledged inter- tional information security conference, held in the Nordic countries on a round robin basis. The 14th Nordic Conference on Secure IT Systems was held in Oslo on 14-16 October 2009. Under the theme Identity and Privacy in the Internet Age, this year's conference explored policies, strategies and technologies for protecting identities and the growing flow of personal information passing through the Internet and mobile n- works under an increasingly serious threat picture. Among the contemporary security issues discussed were security services modeling, Petri nets, attack graphs, electronic voting schemes, anonymous payment schemes, mobile ID-protocols, SIM cards, n- work embedded systems, trust, wireless sensor networks, privacy, privacy disclosure regulations, financial cryptography, PIN verification, temporal access control, random number generators, and some more. As a pre-cursor to the conference proper, the Nordic Security Day on Wednesday 14 October hosted talks by leading representatives from industry, academia and the g- ernment sector, and a press conference was given.

The EUNICE (European Network of Universities and Companies in Information and Communication technology) (http://www.eunice-forum.org) mission is to jointly - velop and promote the best and most compatible standard of European higher edu- tion and professionals in ICT by increasing scientific and technical knowledge in the field of ICT and developing their applications in the economy. The EUNICE Wo- shop is an annual event. This year the workshop was sponsored by IFIP TC 6 WG 6.6: Management of Networks and Distributed Systems. Eight years ago, the seventh edition of the EUNICE workshop took place in Tro- heim with the topic “Adaptable Networks and Teleservices.” Since then “adaptability” has become a topic which is found in most ICT conferences. The concept teleservices, which is a telecommunication domain concept from the 1980s, has been lifted out of the telecom community and is now found with new and sometimes mysterious names such as service–oriented architecture and cloud computing.
