Scope

The scope of the workshop covers issues relating to both security

technologies and the

socio-economical impact of the widespread uptake of wireless networking by

those in business,

industry and the general public.

The term war driving is widely recognised as describing the activities

undertaken by those

who may intend to illegally access a computer network. As one method of

addressing security

concerns and raising awareness of these issues, we propose the term peace

driving to begin

to describe exploration and research activities within the wireless

domain.

Wireless networking is incredibly widespread and is now commonplace in

industry, academia,

business, and the home. The very nature of wireless radio signals means

that physical

security measures have all but become redundant in protecting computer

systems and networks

from unauthorised access. This means that software-based security is now

of paramount

importance. Access control, encryption and authentication are key to

ensuring that intruders

remain outside the private network.

In particular, the lack of physical constraints means that security issues

are becoming more

and more relevant to the casual Internet user at home, the majority of who

are non-specialists.

Casual users employing wireless networking technology may not be aware of

the activities taking

place without their knowledge. The uptake of wireless networking therefore

impacts upon society

in general and has numerous legal, ethical and sociological issues, as

well as technological.

This workshop aims to address issues relating to unwanted wireless network

access, war driving,

security mechanisms, encryption, and authentication techniques. We equally

value topics relating

to security awareness for the non-specialist, legal and ethical issues,

and sociological matters

relating to wireless networking.
