Welcome to the IFIP WG 1.7 home page on Theoretical Foundations of Security Analysis and Design. The Working Group has been founded in 1999 with the main aims of investigating the theoretical foundations of security, discovering and promoting new areas of application of theoretical techniques in computer security and supporting the systematic use of formal techniques in the development of security related applications.

IFIP WG 1.7 is a working group of the Technical Committee 1 (TC1) of IFIP, which promotes activities in the area of Foundations of Computer Science.

Meetings

Events

The Workshop on Issues in the Theory of Security (WITS) is the annual open event of IFIP WG 1.7. Traditionally, it has been located for two consecutive years in Europe and one in the United States. Submissions are open to anyone working on the theory of computer security. The program will encourage discussion among all attendees, both during and after the scheduled presentations. During the years, WITS has been federated with other events (FCS and ARSPA). In 2011 it has been promoted to TOSCA: Theory of Security and Applications, affiliated with ETAPS 2011.
