This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th IFIP WG 11.2 International Conference on Information Security Theory and Practices, WISTP 2016, held in Heraklion, Crete, Greece, in September 2016. The 13 revised full papers and 5 short papers presented together in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 29 submissions.

WISTP 2016 sought original submissions from academia and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of security and privacy, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems, the application of security technology, the implementation of systems, and lessons learned. The papers are organized in topical sections on authentication and key management; secure hardware systems; attacks to software and network systems; and access control and data protection.
