Call for Papers
   The First ACM Conference on Wireless Network Security (WiSec '08)
=====================================================================
              http://discovery.csc.ncsu.edu/WiSec08/
         March 31 - April 2, 2008, Alexandria, Virginia, USA.

                      Sponsored by ACM SIGSAC
             Co-sponsored by the US Army Research Office

As wireless communications are becoming ubiquitous, their security is
gaining in importance. The ACM Conference on Wireless Network Security
(WiSec) aims at exploring attacks on wireless networks as well as
techniques to thwart them. The considered wireless networks encompass
cellular, metropolitan, local area, vehicular, ad hoc, satellite,
underwater, and sensor networks as well as RFID. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:

- Naming and addressing vulnerabilities
- Key management in wireless/mobile environments
- Secure neighbor discovery
- Secure PHY and MAC protocols
- Trust establishment
- Intrusion detection, detection of malicious behavior
- Revocation of malicious parties
- Denial of service
- User privacy, location privacy
- Anonymity, prevention of traffic analysis
- Identity theft and phishing in mobile networks
- Charging
- Cooperation and prevention of non-cooperative behavior
- Economics of wireless security
- Vulnerability and attacker modeling
- Incentive-aware secure protocol design
- Jamming
- Cross-layer design for security
- Monitoring and surveillance
- Computationally efficient cryptographic primitives

ACM WiSec results from the merger of three workshops:

- ESAS (European Workshop on the Security of Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks)
- SASN (ACM Workshop on the Security of Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks),
- WiSe (ACM Workshop on Wireless Security).
