CALL FOR PAPERS IFIP International Conference on Network and Service Security June 24 - 26, 2009 - Paris - France http://www.n2s-conf.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- N2S'2009 is the First International Conference on Network and Service Security that will be held from 24 to 26 June, 2009 in Paris, France. N2S'2009 conference is technically sponsored by IFIP TC6 WG and IEEE Section France. The proliferation of heterogeneous and distributed computer networks and the advanced deployment of pervasive applications have led to an urgent need for constructing reliable and efficient approaches where both applications and networking security issues are addressed jointly. The N2S International Conference will address all the security aspects of design, implementation, deployment, architectures and modelling of heterogeneous wired and wireless computer networks, of the virtualization technology, as well as of the pervasive computer applications. It will also provide dynamic forums for researchers, students and professionals to present their research results and development in these areas and will offer the opportunity for a more focused exchange of ideas and presentation of on-going research relevant to information and system security. Original papers are invited in the area of computer and network security. Papers must represent high-quality and previously unpublished work. The research sessions will include presentations of latest research projects, papers, posters, tutorials, panels, demos, industrial track and exhibitions around, but not limited to, the following topics: - Authentication protocols and services authorization - Data and system integrity and confidentiality - Availability of secure services - Key Distribution and management, PKI and security management - Trust models and Trust establishment - Identity management, authentication and access control - Deployment and management of computer/network security policies - Monitoring Design for security, Traffic filtering and firewalling - Distributed Intrusion Detection Systems & Countermeasures - Single and multi-source intrusion detection and response - IPv6 security, IPSec, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) - Privacy, contract agreements, and payment systems - XML, Query Processing & Optimization, Storage Structures & Indexing - Quantum Cryptography and QKD - Applications of Cryptography & Cryptanalysis in communications security - Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems. - Component based software engineering - Software verification & analysis - Agents and Middleware, Agent Computing and Agent Applications - Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks and countermeasures - Web Commerce & Services, Data models, Web searching & querying - Prevention, Detection and Reaction Design - Revocation of malicious parties - Grid and cluster computing & Context aware computing - Adaptation software development - Next generation systems & Service-oriented techniques - Web Mining & Web Semantic, Network traffic analysis techniques - Pervasive, Ubiquitous and Mobile Computing - Mobile code security & Security management - Secure PHY, MAC, Routing and upper layer protocols - Secure Cross layer design - Secure naming and addressing, Privacy and anonymity - Application/network penetration testing - Network security metrics and performance evaluation - Security modelling and protocol design - Self-healing networks - Light-weight cryptography - Smart cards, secure hardware, and biometric security - Information hiding and watermarking - Vulnerability, exploitation tools, and virus/worm analysis IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Full paper submission due: February 15, 2009 Notification of acceptance: March 30, 2009 Camera ready due: April 10, 2009 Tutorial & Workshop (Instructor) Submission due: February 25, 2009 Notification of Tutorial & Workshop Acceptance: March 10, 2009 SUBMISSION ---------- Submission Formatting Full papers (not solely abstracts) must be submitted for review.
