INTRODUCTION
============

While the attack systems have become more easy-to-use, sophisticated, and
powerful, interest has greatly increased in the field of building more
effective, intelligent, adaptive, active and high performance defense
systems which are distributed and networked. The NSS conference will cover
research on all theoretical and practical aspects related to network and
system security, such as authentication, access control, availability,
integrity, privacy, confidentiality, dependability and sustainability of
computer networks and systems. The aim of NSS is to provide a leading edge
forum to foster interaction between researchers and developers with the
network and system security communities, and to give attendees an
opportunity to interact with experts in academia, industry, and
governments.

NSS 2016 is the next event in a series of highly successful events of
Network and System Security. Previous editions were held in: New York City,
USA (2015), Xi'an, China (2014), Madrid, Spain (2013); Wu Yi Shan, China
(2012); Milan, Italy (2011); Melbourne, Australia; (2010); Gold Coast,
Australia (2009); Shanghai, China (2008); and Dalian, China (2007). In this
