This volume presents cutting-edge research in computer security from a leading European symposium. The 12th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS 2007) brought together researchers to share original contributions, case studies, and implementation experiences. The proceedings feature 39 revised full papers covering a wide spectrum of computer security topics, from theoretical foundations to practical applications and real-world experiences. ESORICS is recognized as a premier European forum for advancing the field of computer security.

As a collection of refereed proceedings from a significant academic conference, the volume is expected to be of interest to researchers and practitioners in computer security. The inclusion of 39 revised full papers suggests a comprehensive overview of the state of the art presented at ESORICS 2007. The focus on original research, case studies, and implementation experiences indicates a blend of theoretical and practical contributions. The confirmation of ESORICS as a leading European research event implies a high standard for the included papers.
