PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE is March 31, 2009 (11:59 PM CDT)

SecureComm seeks high-quality research contributions in the form of

well developed papers. Topics of interest encompass research advances

in ALL areas of secure communications and networking. However, topics

in other areas (e.g., formal methods, database security, secure

software, foundations of cryptography) will be considered only if a

clear connection to private or secure communications/networking is

demonstrated. The aim of SecureComm is to bring together security and

privacy experts in academia, industry and government as well as

practitioners, standards developers and policy makers, in order to

engage in a discussion about common goals and explore important

research directions in the field. SecureComm also serves as a venue

for learning about state-of-the-art in security and privacy research,

giving attendees the opportunity to network with experts in the field.

Presentations reporting on cutting-edge research results are

supplemented by panels on controversial issues and invited talks on

timely and important topics.

PAPERS: Technical papers describing original research contributions are

solicited. Submissions must not be concurrently under review by a

conference, journal or any other venue that has proceedings.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Only PDF formats are accepted for all

submissions. Paper submissions must not exceed 10 pages in IEEE

conference style, two-column format, not including the

papers will be judged based on their quality through *double-blind*

paper submission instructions are available at the conference website.
