StaR_SEC 2007 1st ACM Workshop on Information and Communications Security Standards and Regulations CALL FOR PAPERS http://www.aegean.gr/StaR_SEC_2007 October 29, 2007, Hilton Alexandria Mark Center, Alexandria, VA, USA In conjunction with the ACM CCS 2007 14th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security Aims and Scope: Most of the research and development work carried out by universities, research centers and private companies today, is based, in some way or another, on international standards or pre-standards that have been produced under the auspices of recognized standardization bodies. On top of that, many market sectors have recognized standardization as a prerequisite for the provision of high quality services and products, thus triggering a large number of multi-sectoral voluntary standards. The main objective of the StaR_SEC 2007 Workshop is to explore the security aspects of standards, regulations and certifications for Information and Communication Systems. For many years the Security field was somehow isolated in the Information and Communications Technology arena. Inevitably this isolation has been inherited to the standards governing the security techniques and mechanisms that are currently employed. It is therefore important to inform the scientific community about these problems and facilitate better collaboration on the security aspects of international standards and regulations. List of topics We welcome the submission of papers that address Security Standards and Regulations activities, including, but not limited to: Access Control and Authorization Assurance Services Auditing and Forensic Information Management Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting Business Services Biometrics Technologies Confidentiality and Privacy Services Developing Secure Information and Communications Infrastructures Digital Rights Management eBusiness, eCommerce, eGovernment Security: Establishing Trust and Confidence of Citizens in eTransactions and eServices eHealth Security Lawful Interception Architectures and Functions Legal Issues Location Privacy and Secure Localization Long-term Archive and Notary Services Mail Security Methodologies for Authentication and Traceability Mobile, Ad hoc and Sensors Networks Security Multicast Security Network Defense Services PKI and PMI environments Privacy and Identity Management Registration and Authentication Services Security and Interoperability Security Challenges to the use and deployment of Disruptive Technologies (Trusted Computing, VoIP, WiMAX, RFID, IPv6) Securing Critical Information and Communication Infrastructures Security issues in Network Event Logging Security Policies Security Solutions for IP Multimedia Systems Standardization Aspects of Electronic Signatures Trust Services Wireless Security Submission Instructions Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are currently under evaluation for publication to a journal or to the proceedings of another conference. Papers should not exceed 10 pages, in double-column ACM format, not including the bibliography and any well-marked appendices, and at most 12 pages overall. Committee members are not required to read the appendices, so the paper should be intelligible without them. Submitted manuscripts should be anonymous (i.e., they should not contain author names or affiliations, or obvious citations). Paper submissions will be electronic only in .pdf format and will be sent to the Program co-Chairs: StaR_SEC_2007@aegean.gr. Accepted papers will be presented at the StaR_SEC 2007 Workshop and published by the ACM in the Workshop's proceedings. Selected high-quality policy, legal, and regulatory papers, in revised and extended version, will be considered for publication in The International Journal of IT Standards and Standardization Research, Idea Group Publishing. Outstanding technical papers, in revised and extended version, will be considered for publication in a special issue of the Computer Standards and Interfaces, Elsevier, an ISI ranked journal. Contributions will be reviewed similarly with regular submissions. Important Dates Papers submissions due: June 4, 2007 Decisions due: July 22, 2007 Camera-ready papers due: August 12, 2007 StaR_SEC 2007 Workshop: October 29, 2007 StaR_SEC 2007 Workshop General Co-Chairs Stamatios Kartalopoulos, University of Oklahoma-Tulsa, USA Javier Lopez, University of Malaga, Spain StaR_SEC 2007 Workshop Program Co-Chairs Stefanos Gritzalis, University of the Aegean, Greece (sgritz@aegean.gr) Tom Karygiannis, NIST, USA (karygiannis@nist.org) StaR_SEC 2007 Workshop Program Committee G.-J.
