There were also 11 papers from European countries and 3 from North America. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all authors who submitted papers to ACISP 2005. The contributed papers were supplemented by four invited talks from e- nent researchers in information security. The father-and-son team of Prof. and Dr. Bob Blakley (Texas A&M University and IBM) gave a talk entitled "All Sail, No Anchor III," following up on a theme started at their ACISP 2000 - vited talk. Adrian McCullagh (Phillips Fox Lawyers and QUT) talked on the bene't and perils of Internet banking. Ted Dunstone (Biometix) enlightened us on multimodal biometric systems. Yvo Desmedt (University College London) elucidated the growing gap between theory and practice in information security.
