Scope:

The severity of attacks on networks and critical infrastructures are on the

rise over recent years and seem to continue to do so. Surprisingly at times,

many of the attacks can be individually simple yet highly damaging due to

their large-scale co-ordination and polymorphic replication with continuous

self-upgradation using a mix of peer-to-peer and command-and-control

architectures. Conventional approaches of single-hosted security defensives

are becoming increasingly less effective in the face of such sophisticated

and co-ordinated multi-front attacks using bot-nets of compromised always-

on, always-connected computers. In contrast, a distributed defense pattern

(not very different from multi-front attacks) shows promise both in terms of

manageability, reduced operating costs and architectural simplicity. This

broad area of defense using Collaborative Security technologies works on the

principles of sharing

- information and knowledge for accelerating detection of and response to

new attacks and threats;

- resources for increasing the efficiency and reducing resource consumption.

The 2nd International workshop on Collaborative Security Technologies aims to

bring to forefront the innovative approaches that involve the use of

collaborative methods for security and privacy. The central theme of this

workshop is to focus attention on the collaborative and intelligent approaches

towards design of security systems so as to make them more robust, energy-

efficient and reliable. The 2010 workshop follows on the success of the 2009

workshop which published 4 long and 5 short papers out of 30 submissions.

We invite papers in the following aspects of Collaborative Security

technologies. Researchers are welcome to submit papers in relevant security

domains (not included here), which highlight collaborative aspects for

security design, enforcement or management.

- Collaborative approaches for Authentication, Authorization, Accounting and

Audit systems

- Collaborative approaches for enhancing User Privacy

- Collaborative defence against DDoS attacks

- Collaboration based Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems

- Collaborative Identity Management

- Collaborative Vulnerability Analysis and Fraud Detection

- Collaboration in Sensor Network security

- Collaborative security for Self-Organizing Networks

- Collaborative approaches against web-based attack (phishing etc) detection

and protection

- Collaborative malware detection and quarantining; e.g. based on Social

Networking

- Collaborative Policies definition and enforcement across administrative

boundaries

- Collaborative responsibility for Privacy enforcement of multi-domain

information

- Collaborative forensics

- Collaboration within Govt. and Public Safety organizations against national

security concerns

- Collaborative or Distributed security protocols

- Augmentation methods for review of Security logs and information from multiple

sources

2010 Special Session: Cloud Computing

This year, the CoSec workshop aims to have a special session focusing on Cloud

Computing-related security challenges and how Collaborative security approaches

can be applied for building more secure cloud infrastructure.

Panels:

Proposals for panel discussions are solicited and should be sent to the

Panel chair.

For more information please visit the conference web pages at

<http://www.cosec-workshop.info/>

Accepted papers will be published in the Conference proceedings and will appear

in IEEE Xplore digital library.

The workshop welcomes papers in the standard double- column, IEEE format, but

in 10 pt font, and no longer than 6 pages (including all figures and references).

Paper submission will be handled electronically via EDAS <http://edas.info/N9201>
