The 11th Annual Network and Distributed System Security Symposium
Catamaran Resort Hotel
San Diego, California
5-6 February 2004-Symposium
4 February 2004-Pre-Conference Tutorials
Call
for Papers
IMPORTANT
DATES
Paper and panel submissions due: 11:59pm PST, 31 August 2003
Author notification: 20 October 2003
Final version of papers and panels due: 14 November 2003
GOAL:
The symposium fosters information exchange among research scientists and
practitioners of network and distributed system security services. The
target audience includes those interested in practical aspects of network
and distributed system security, with a focus on actual system design
and implementation (rather than theory). A major goal is to encourage
and enable the Internet community to apply, deploy, and advance the state
of available security technology. The proceedings are published by the
Internet Society.
OUTSTANDING
PAPER AWARD: There will be an Outstanding Paper award. The award will
be presented at the symposium to the authors of an outstanding paper,
as selected by the Program Committee.
SUBMISSIONS: Both technical papers and panel proposals are solicited.
Technical papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference
with proceedings. Technical papers should be at most 12 pages excluding
the bibliography and well-marked appendices (using 11-point font, single
column format, and reasonable margins on 8.5"x11" or A4 paper),
and at most 20 pages total. Committee members are not required to read
the appendices, so the paper should be intelligible without them. Technical
papers will appear in the proceedings. Panel proposals should be one page
and must describe the topic, identify the panel chair, explain the panel
format, and list three to four potential panelists. A description of each
panel will appear in the proceedings, and may, at the discretion of the
panel chair, include written position statements from the panelists.
Submissions
are solicited in, but not limited to, the following areas:
- Integrating security
in Internet protocols: routing, naming, TCP/IP, multicast, network management,
and the Web.
- Intrusion avoidance,
detection, and response: systems, experiences and architectures.
- Privacy and anonymity
technologies.
- Network perimeter
controls: firewalls, packet filters, application gateways.
- Virtual private
networks.
- Public key infrastructure,
key management, certification, and revocation.
- Secure electronic
commerce: e.g., payment, barter, EDI, notarization, timestamping, endorsement,
and licensing.
- Supporting security
mechanisms and APIs; audit trails; accountability.
- Implementation,
deployment and management of network security policies.
- Intellectual property
protection: protocols, implementations, metering, watermarking, digital
rights management.
- Fundamental services
on network and distributed systems: authentication, data integrity,
confidentiality, authorization, non-repudiation, and availability.
- Integrating security
services with system and application security facilities and protocols:
e.g., message handling, file transport/access, directories, time synchronization,
data base management, boot services, mobile computing.
- Security for emerging
technologies: sensor networks, specialized testbeds, wireless/mobile
(and ad hoc) networks, personal communication systems, peer-to-peer
and overlay network systems.
- Special problems
and case studies: e.g., tradeoffs between security and efficiency, usability,
reliability and cost.
- Security for collaborative
applications: teleconferencing and video-conferencing, electronic voting,
groupwork, etc.
- Software hardening:
e.g., detecting and defending against software bugs (overflows, etc.)
Each
submission must contain a separate Submission Overview specifying the
submission type (paper or panel), the title or topic, author names with
organizational affiliations, and must specify a contact author along with
corresponding phone number, FAX number, postal address and email address.
Submissions
must be received by 11:59pm PST, 31 August 2003, and must be made electronically
in PDF format. Each submission will be acknowledged by e-mail; if acknowledgment
is not received within seven days, contact a program co-chair (see below).
Authors and panelists will be notified of acceptance by 20 October 2003,
and given instructions for preparing the camera-ready copy. The camera-ready
copy must be received by 14 November 2003.
