This volume contains the papers selected for presentation at the 35th Annual IFIP WG-11.3 Conference on Data and Applications Security and Privacy (DBSec 2021) that was supposed to take place during July 1920, 2021, in Calgary, Canada. While the conference was held on the dates as scheduled, due to the COVID-19 situation it was held virtually, but we do look forward to gathering together in 2022 for the next DBSec!

In response to the call for papers for this edition, 45 submissions were received, and all submissions were evaluated on the basis of their significance, novelty, and technical quality. The Program Committee, comprising over 40 members, performed an excellent job, with the help of additional reviewers, of reviewing submissions through a careful anonymous process (three or more reviews per submission). The Program Committees work was carried out electronically, yielding intensive discussions. Of the submitted papers, 15 full papers and 8 short papers were selected for presentation at the conference.

The success of DBSec 2021 depended on the voluntary effort of many individuals, and there is a long list of people who deserve special thanks. We would like to thank all the members of the Program Committee and all the external reviewers, for all their hard work in evaluating the papers and for their active participation in the discussion and selection process. We are very grateful to all the people who readily assisted and ensured a smooth organization process, in particular Sara Foresti (IFIP WG11.3 Chair) for her guidance and support, Khosro Salmani as Publicity Chair, and Leanne Wu for helping with other arrangements for the conference. EasyChair made the conference review and proceedings process run very smoothly.

Last but certainly not least, thanks to all the authors who submitted papers and all the conference attendees. We hope you find the proceedings of DBSec 2021 interesting, stimulating, and inspiring for your future research.
