BalkanCryptSec 2018 aims to provide a forum for discussions on current topics in cryptography and systems security, helping to harness and increase the research potential in Balkans and not only. The first two editions, organized in Turkey (2014) and Slovenia (2015), attracted good submissions from all over the world. Compared to the previous editions, this new edition comes with extended topics, covering also hardware implementations and system level security for the new emerging standards and applications (such as IoT, 5G, Automotive security).
