CALL FOR PAPERS 3rd ACM WORKSHOP ON INFORMATION SHARING AND COLLABORATIVE SECURITY (WISCS 2016) https://sites.google.com/site/wiscs2016/ Held in conjunction with 23rd ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS) Hofburg Palace, Vienna, Austria Oct. 24, 2016 DEADLINE EXTENDED TO AUG 05, 2016. Sharing of cyber-security related information is believed to greatly enhance the ability of organizations to defend themselves against sophisticated attacks. If one organization detects a breach sharing associated security indicators (such as attacker IP addresses, domain names, file hashes etc.) provides valuable, actionable information to other organizations. The analysis of shared security data promises novel insights into emerging attacks. Sharing higher level intelligence about threat actors, the tools they use and mitigations provides defenders with much needed context for better preparing and responding to attacks. In the US and the EU major efforts are underway to strengthen information sharing. Yet, there are a number of technical and policy challenges to realizing this vision. Which information exactly should be shared? How can privacy and confidentiality be protected? How can we create high-fidelity intelligence from shared data without getting overwhelmed by false positives? The 3rd Workshop on Information Sharing and Collaborative Security (WISCS 2016) aims to bring together experts and practitioners from academia, industry and government to present innovative research, case studies, and legal and policy issues. The workshop solicits original research papers in these areas, both full and short papers. Workshop proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to: Collaborative intrusion detection Machine learning on shared information Big data for cyber-security Case studies of information sharing Domain name and IP address blacklists Collaborative approaches to spear-hishing, DDoS and other attacks Privacy and confidentiality Data deidentification Cryptographic protocols for collaborative security Access control for shared information Scalable security analysis on shared data Ontologies and standards for sharing security data UX and behavioral aspects of collaboration Policy and legal issues Surveillance issues Trust models Attacks on information sharing Economics of security collaboration IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission due: Aug 05, 2016 (extended from July 22, 2016) Author notification: September 05, 2016 Camera ready copies due: September 11, 2016 Workshop: October 24, 2016 STEERING COMMITTEE Freddy Dezeure, CERT-EU Tomas Sander, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Richard Struse, DHS Moti Yung, Columbia University and Snapchat PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS Florian Kerschbaum, SAP Erik-Oliver Blass, Airbus Group Innovations PROGRAM COMMITTEE Gail-Joon Ahn, Arizona State University Rainer Boehme, University of Innsbruck Julien Bringer, Morpho Sarah Brown, SecurityLinks Eric Burger, Georgetown University Scott Coull, Redjack Marc Dacier, Qatar Computing Research Institute Roberto Di Pietro, Nokia Bell Labs Panos Kampanikis, Cisco Michael E.

Regular submissions should be at most 10 pages in the ACM double-column format including bibliography, but excluding well-marked appendices, and at most 12 pages total. Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and so the paper should be intelligible without them. Submissions should not be anonymized. The workshop will also consider short submissions of up to 4 pages for case studies, results that are preliminary or that require only a few pages to describe. Authors of regular submitted papers will indicate at the time of submission whether they would like their paper to also be considered for publication as a short paper (4 proceedings pages). Submissions are to be made to the submission web site at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wiscs16 . You will be requested to upload the file of your paper (in PDF format only). Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Papers must be received by Aug 05, 2016 (extended deadline) to be considered. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to authors by September 05, 2016. The camera ready versions must be prepared by September 11, 2016 (firm). Proceedings of the workshop will be published by ACM on a CD, available to the workshop attendees. Papers will be included in the ACM Digital Library, with a specific ISBN. Each accepted paper must be presented by an author, who will have to be registered by the early-bird registration deadline.
