                              CALL FOR PAPERS

Brief description
-----------------
With the advent of pervasive computer applications and due to the proliferation
of heterogeneous wired and wireless computer and communication networks,
security and privacy issues have become paramount. This Symposium will address
all aspects of the modeling, design, implementation, deployment, and management
of security algorithms, protocols, architectures, and systems. Furthermore,
contributions devoted to the evaluation, optimization, or enhancement of
security and privacy mechanisms for current technologies, as well as devising
efficient security and privacy solutions for emerging technologies, are
solicited.

Topics of interest
------------------
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Authentication protocols and message authentication
- Biometric security: technologies, risks, vulnerabilities, bio-cryptography,
 mobile template protection
- Computer and network forensics
- Cryptography: Conventional public-key crypto, symmetric-key crypto, advanced
 crypto, and quantum crypto
- DDOS attacks, DNS spoofing, and countermeasures
- Formal trust models
- Information hiding and watermarking
- Information systems security
- Intrusion detection, localization, and countermeasures
- Mobile and Wireless network security, including ad hoc networks, P2P
 networks,3G, 4G, sensor networks, Bluetooth, 802.11 family and WiMAX
- Network security metrics and performance
- Network traffic analysis techniques
- Operating systems security and log analysis tools
- Optical network security
- Privacy and privacy enhancing technologies
- Security modeling and protocol design
- Virtual private networks
- VoIP Security
- Vulnerability, exploitation tools and virus analysis
- Web, eBusiness, eCommerce, eGovernment  security
