For the past fifteen years, the International ISC (Iranian Society of Cryptology) Conference on Information Security and Cryptology (ISCISC) has been the flagship conference in information security and cryptology in Iran. The 16th ISCISC conference (ISCISC'2019) is organized by Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran from August 28th to 29th, 2019 in co-operation with the Iranian Society of Cryptology.

The objective of ISCISC'2019 is to bring together researchers, engineers, and practitioners interested in various aspects of information security and cryptology. The conference aims to provide a forum for academicians, engineers, specialists, and students from all around the world to meet and discuss the latest developments in theory and practice in various areas of information security. ISCISC'2019 encourages researchers, developers and practitioners to submit their original papers and organize workshops on various new emerging topics. Keynote/plenary talks and panel discussions are another conference highlight.
