This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th Australasian Conference on Information Security and Privacy, ACISP 2007, held in Townsville, Australia in July 2007. The 33 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 132 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on stream ciphers, hashing, biometrics, secret sharing, cryptanalysis, public key cryptography, authentication, e-commerce, and security.

This was the?rst conference to be organized outside the traditional three venues: Brisbane and Gold Coast, Melbourne, and Sydney and Wollongong. The conference was sponsored by James Cook University, Center for Advanced Computing - Al- rithmandCryptographyatMacquarieUniversity, InformationSecurityInstitute at Queensland University of Technology, and the Research Network for Secure Australia. We wouldlike to thank Matthieu Finiasz and ThomasBaign` eresfrom EPFL, LASEC, Switzerland for letting us use their iChair software that faci- tated the submission and revision processes. Out of 132 submissions, the Program Committee (PC) selected 33 papers afterarigorousreviewprocess. Eachpapergotassignedtoatleastthreereferees. Paperssubmitted by members of the PCgotassignedto?vereferees. In the?rst stageofthe reviewprocess, thesubmittedpaperswerereadandevaluatedbythe PC members and then in the second stage, the papers were scrutinized during a three-week-long discussion. We would like to thank the authors of all papers (both accepted and rejected) for submitting their papers to the conference. A special thanks go to the members of the PC and the external referees who gave their time, expertise and enthusiasm in order to select the best collection of papers. As in previous years, we held a competition for the "best student paper." To be eligible, a paper had to be co-authored by a postgraduate student whose contribution was more than 50%. Eight papers entered the competition. The winnerwasNorbertPramstallerfromGrazUniversityofTechnology, Austria, for thepaper"SecondPreimagesforIteratedHashFunctionsandTheirImplications on MACs." This year we had only one invited talk, which was given by Andreas Enge Here is a highly relevant book that covers a wide array of key aspects in information security. It constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th Australasian Conference on Information Security and Privacy held in Townsville, Australia in July 2007. The 33 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 132 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on stream ciphers, hashing, biometrics, secret sharing, cryptanalysis, public key cryptography, authentication, e-commerce, and security.
