These proceedings contain the papers selected for presentation at the 10th European
Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS), held September
12–14, 2005 in Milan, Italy.
In response to the call for papers 159 papers were submitted to the conference.
These papers were evaluated on the basis of their significance, novelty, and
technical quality. Each paper was reviewed by at least three members of the
program committee. The program committee meeting was held electronically,
holding intensive discussion over a period of two weeks. Of the papers submitted,
27 were selected for presentation at the conference, giving an acceptance
rate of about 16%. The conference program also includes an invited talk by
Barbara Simons.
