Recent technological advancements have resulted in a phenomenal
growth in digital libraries. Often, professionals in the government,
military, and commercial sectors make critical decisions based
on data obtained from digital libraries, These users rely on the
correctness, availability, and secrecy of the data stored in
digital libraries. Consequently, security issues are of great
concern to both researchers and practitioners involved with
digital libraries. A complicating factor is that the
technologies that facilitate data management and access introduce
new vulnerabilities that can be exploited to damage the system.
As a result, the technologies on which digital libraries are
based pose new security challenges that must be addressed.

Reacting to this increasing need for security, researchers and
developers have contributed significantly to advancements in the
theory, design, implementation, analysis, and application of secure
digital libraries. However, there are yet many open problems that need
solution.

Recognizing the importance of the research in this area, ``The
International Journal on Digital Libraries'' is organizing a
special issue on security.  The primary focus of this special
issue will be on high-quality original unpublished research, case
studies, as well as implementation experiences in the area
pertaining to security issues in digital libraries.

Suggested topics include but are not limited to:

       Authorization and Access Control
       Authentication 
       Encryption technologies for digital libraries
       Key management in digital libries
       Computer Security and Public Policy
       Copy Protection and Prevention
       Data/System Availability 
       Data/System Integrity
       Digital Watermarking 
       Electronic Payment   
       Intellectual Property Protection 
       Multimedia Security  
       Privacy and Anonymity
       Security Management
       Steganography
       Usage Accounting
