***************************************************************************= *********
IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (IEEE CNS) is a conf= erence series in IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) core conference portf= olio and the only ComSoc conference focusing solely on cybersecurity. IEEE = CNS provides a premier forum for security researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and users to exchange = ideas, techniques and tools, raise awareness, and share experience related = to all practical and theoretical aspects of cybersecurity.

Building on the success of the past five years=92 conferences, IEEE CNS 201= 8 seeks original high-quality technical papers from academia, government, a= nd industry. Topics of interest encompass all practical and theoretical asp= ects of communications and network security, from the physical layer to the network layer to the variety of a= pplications reliant on a secure communication substrate.
