Call For Papers - CFP

The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Information and Data Assurance

In conjunction with IEEE IPCCC 2009

Increasing reliance on the Internet for business and commercial purposes and the global availability of information has resulted in a whole suit of problems that are rooted in information assurance. As more and more complex systems evolve, the need for security and data assurance grows even more. Large corporations and research institutions regularly come up with solutions to counter malicious and non-malicious, external and internal threats. However, the field of information assurance is such that new threats evolve on a regular basis and continuous research and innovation is critical to stem the threats that continually arise. Information Assurance can then be defined as the protection and defense of information systems so as to ensure the authenticity, availability, confidentiality, integrity, and non-repudiation of critical data and user credentials. Authentication is a direct approach to information assurance, where the external party is asked to prove its authenticity. This can be achieved by encryption, certification or some previously agreed upon protocol. Confidentiality and integrity cover the areas of data protection by directly modifying the data using encryption or keeping the data in secured backed-up locations. The goal of non-repudiation states that an entity that has proven its identity should also be held responsible for its actions. We seek papers that address theoretical, empirical, experimental and system-related approaches to information assurance. Papers should describe original and previously unpublished work. Additionally, the papers should not be currently under review at other conference, workshop or journals. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of IPCCC. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Wireless and Ad-hoc Security

Network and Data Restoration

Network Reliability/Availability

Denial of Service Protection

Security system architecture

Optical networks security

Intrusion Detection and Prevention

Sensor network security

Trust negotiation/management

Privacy models and mechanisms

E-commerce security

Man-in-the-middle and other attack analysis

Key management and Cryptography

Botnets detection and response

Authorization, account management and access-control

Web/Internet security

Theoretical and empirical risk analysis

Final Paper Submission Guidelines

Papers should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. Authors are invited to submit a maximum of 8 page regular papers and 4 page short papers including the abstract, figures and references. Papers should include the title, author(s), authors' affiliation and an abstract. The formatting should be according to IEEE conference style available at: www.computer.org/portal/site/cscps.

Please note that the paper will not be included in conference proceedings if its length exceeds 8 pages. Papers should be submitted in a PDF format using the EDAS system at: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=8175
