The Internet has become essential for the exchange of information. 
Many user
groups from different backgrounds and with different objectives depend on
it to perform their daily tasks. Various activities are carried out via the
Internet: B2B, B2C, or between individuals who create their own virtual
communities. Moreover, many companies are interconnecting their IT systems,
including SCADA systems, directly or indirectly to the Internet.

At the same time, the use of the Internet is facing increasing risks
regarding privacy and security, in particular due to vulnerabilities induced
by the complexity of Internet-related applications. Therefore, new security
mechanisms and techniques should be deployed to achieve an assurance level
acceptable for critical domains such as transportation, health, defence,
banking, critical infrastructures, etc.

Attackers nowadays do not lack motivation and they are more and more
experienced. The existence of vulnerabilities encourages different kinds
of attackers to exploit them and gain access to personal computers or
penetrate into IT systems belonging to companies or administrations.

In this context, dependability, security and privacy become a priority that
should be addressed by all actors in research, industry, services and
governments.

* T O P I C S *
================


The topics addressed by CRiSIS range from the analysis of risks, attacks and
vulnerabilities to system survivability, passing through security policies
and models, security mechanisms and privacy enhancing technologies. Authors
are invited to submit research results as well as practical experiment or
deployment reports. Industrial papers about applications or case studies are
also welcomed in different domains (e.g., telemedicine, e-government,
e-learning, e-commerce, critical infrastructures, etc.). 

The list of topics includes, but is not limited to:
* Analysis and management of risk, attacks and vulnerabilities
* Security and dependability of operating systems and network components
* Web services and middleware security
* Dependability and fault tolerance of Internet applications
* Security and safety of critical infrastructures
* Security and privacy of peer-to-peer system, wireless networks, VPN and
  embedded systems
* Security of new generation networks, security of Voice-over-IP and
  multimedia
* Security of database systems, security of e-commerce and electronic voting
  systems
* Authentication, authorization and audit
* Privacy protection and anonymization
* Traceability and forensics
* Security models and security policies
* Formal methods, verification and certification
* Key management Infrastructure (PKI) and trust management
* Biometrics, watermarking, cryptography and security protocols
* Access controls and security mechanisms
* Use of smartcards and personal devices for Internet applications
* Firewalls and intrusion detection systems
* Viruses, worms and malicious codes
* Attack data acquisition (honeypots) and network monitoring
* Metrology, security evaluation, and security management
* Organizational, ethical and legal issues.
