This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Computer Safety, Reliability and Security, SAFECOMP 2002, held in Catania, Italy in September 2002.
The 27 revised papers presented together with 3 keynote presentations were carefully reviewed and selected from 69 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on human-computer system dependability, human factors, security, dependability assessment, application of formal methods, reliability assessment, design for dependability, and safety assessment.

The papers are organized in topical sections on fault injection techniques, verification and validation techniques, automotive systems, coverage models and mitigation techniques, assurance cases and arguments, system analysis, security and trust, notations/languages for safety related aspects, safety and security. While a computing device from an isolated perspective is a technological artefact pure and simple, practice has taught us that humans always are involved at some time and in some way.
