makers.  

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Wireless Network Security (WiFi, WiMAX, WiMedia and others) 
* Sensor and  Mobile Ad Hoc Network Security 
* Security of  GSM/GPRS/UMTS systems  
* RFID security and privacy 
* Wireless Intrusion Detection Systems, tolerance and recovery 
* Firewalls and Application gateways for wireless/mobile networks
      and pervasive/ubiquitous computing
* Public key infrastructures for wireless/mobile networks
      and pervasive/ubiquitous computing 
* Web Security, Authentication and Authorization in
      wireless/mobile  networks and pervasive/ubiquitous computing 
* Privacy/Anonymity Preserving Design in wireless/mobile  networks   
      and pervasive/ubiquitous computing 
* E-commerce protocols and micropayment schemes 
* Secure Localization systems
* Security in hybrid (e.g., wireline/wireless) networks 

PAPERS: Technical papers describing original unpublished research are
solicited.  Submissions must not be concurrently under review by a
conference, journal or any other venue that has proceedings. All
submissions will be refereed by the program committee.  Papers that
have a student as the primary author or first co-author will be
considered for a best student paper award.  Accepted papers of
particular merit will be considered for a special issue of Springer
International Journal of Information Security.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Authors should prepare a PostScript or PDF
version of their full paper. Submissions must not exceed 10 pages in
IEEE conference style, two-column format. All submitted papers will be
judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where
the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers.
Authors' names must not appear in the paper or in the PostScript or
PDF file.  Complete paper submission instructions will be available at
the conference website.  The paper submission deadline is March 18,
2005, 11.50PM PST.

PANELS: Panels that examine innovative, controversial, or
otherwise provocative issues of interest are solicited.  Panel
proposals should not exceed 3 pages, including biographical sketches

exceed 3 pages, including biographical sketches of the main
organizers. Potential workshop organizers should submit proposals to
the Workshops Co-Chairs by January 22, 2005.

RESEARCH DEMOS: Informal proposals for research demos are
solicited.  Proposals will be reviewed and selection will be made
based on the perceived value to the research community and interest
level for the conference attendees. Proposals should not exceed 3
pages and should include: the focus area, technologies involved,
specific equipment to be used, demo layout and space required. Please
submit proposals to the Research Demos Chair(s) by March 18,
2005.  Travel grants, sponsored by NSF, are available to partially
support travel expenses for demo teams from US-based institutions.

Student Travel Grants: Student Travel Grants, sponsored by the
