The 1^st Codes, Cryptology & Information Security Southeast Asia 2018 (C2IS-SEA 2018) is organized by the Malaysian Society for Cryptology Research (MSCR), CyberSecurity Malaysia and the Institute for Mathematical Research, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). This event is organized in cooperation with the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR).

The conference aims to bring together researchers in the fields of coding theory, cryptology and information Security, practitioners, developers, and users to foster cooperation, exchange techniques, tools, experiences and ideas.

The conference seeks submissions in these fields from academia, government, and industry presenting novel research. The primary focus is on original, high quality, unpublished research of theoretical and practical impact, including concepts, techniques, applications and practical experiences.

In addition to a single track of high-quality presentations, C2IS-SEA will offer invited talks. All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three Program Committee members.
