The ubiquity of technologies such as wireless communications, biometric identification systems, on-line data repositories, and smart electricity grids, has created new challenges in information security and privacy. Traditional approaches based on cryptography are far from adequate in such complex systems and fundamentally new techniques must be developed. Control and Information theory provide fundamental limits that can guide the development of methods for addressing these challenges. Historically, both Systems and Control and the Information Theory communities have developed independent approaches to deal with the issue of security and privacy. But various emerging applications require tools from both theories to be used in tandem. There has been relatively little effort in bringing the two fields together and have a cohesive discussion on modelling and solution approaches to security and privacy. The symposium aims to serve as such a venue that discusses the perspectives developed by both communities in a timely and productive manner. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
