Synopsis Cybercrimes are in the news practically everyday. Counter measures are evolving to combat identity theft, hackers, viruses, etc. The dates, September 11, 2001 (the day hijacked jetliners hit the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon out side Washington), October 1, 2001 (the day a car bomb attack took place outside the Jammu and Kashmir State Assembly killing at least 27 people), and December 13, 2001 (the day on which terrorists attacked the Parliament of India), are etched in our memories. Electronics Security has since become a subject of the greatest interest. Smart Cards Expo 2003 / e-Security 2003 has therefore organized a two day Conference on ‘Smart Cards in e-Security’ on 16th and 17th September, 2003. this volume is a compendium of the papers presented in the conference.
