AsiaJCIS 2026: Editor's Preface

It is our great honor to invite you to the 21st annual Asia Joint Conference on Information Security 2026 (abbreviated as AsiaJCIS 2026) that will be held at Guangdong University of Science and Technology, Dongguan, Guangdong, China on August 4-5, 2026. This year marks the 21st anniversary of this conference since 2006.

With the rise of technologies like AI security, zero trust, secure software development, and post-quantum cryptography, advancements in these security technologies have become crucial for building trust in cyberspace. AI security research focuses on two areas: protecting AI systems and developing security solutions that leverage AI. In our AI-driven world, strengthening AI systems to withstand diverse threats is now a key challenge.

The primary goal of AsiaJCIS is to provide an open forum for publishing novel, practical, high-quality papers that demonstrate the latest research and development results and their applications in the fields of information security and cybersecurity. Research focuses on cryptography, privacy, network security, application security, information security management, system security, and new security technologies such as for cloud computing systems, edge computing, zero trust, AI/ML, post quantum cryptography, smart grids, and a wide range of other topics. Additionally, AsiaJCIS aims to foster collaboration among security communities in Asia to advance these technologies.

This year, we have received submissions from several countries in the Asian region. The program committee selected seven regular papers and three short papers for the oral presentations. In addition, the program features keynote and invited talks by distinguished speakers from academia and the public sector, introducing their recent ongoing cutting-edge work. The accepted papers cover a wide range of research fields from cryptography to system security and from fundamental to applied security including hot topics.

The success of AsiaJCIS 2026 solely depends on your strong interest in and active participation in this conference. Furthermore, the future of the coming AsiaJCIS also depends highly on the everlasting support of you and your colleagues.

AsiaJCIS 2026 is hosted by Guangdong University of Science and Technology (GDUST), Dongguan, China. It is also supported by the information security communities of the participating countries in China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan.

We would like to thank the members of the technical program committee and organizing committee, keynote speakers, invited speakers, reviewers, and authors who contributed to the success of this conference.

Finally, we hope that your participation in this conference will provide you with valuable information to contribute to future research and development in information security, cybersecurity and their applications.

Thank you very much and good luck to all of you!
