CALL FOR PAPERS

IFIP International Conference on
Network and Service Security

June 24 - 26, 2009 - Paris - France

http://www.n2s-conf.org/

-------------------------------------------------------------------

N2S'2009 is the First International Conference on Network and Service
Security that will be held from 24 to 26 June, 2009 in Paris, France.
N2S'2009 conference is technically sponsored by IFIP TC6 WG and IEEE
Section France.

The proliferation of heterogeneous and distributed computer networks
and the advanced deployment of pervasive applications have led to an
urgent need for constructing reliable and efficient approaches where
both applications and networking security issues are addressed
jointly. The N2S International Conference will address all the
security aspects of design, implementation, deployment, architectures
and modelling of heterogeneous wired and wireless computer networks,
of the virtualization technology, as well as of the pervasive computer
applications. It will also provide dynamic forums for researchers,
students and professionals to present their research results and
development in these areas and will offer the opportunity for a more
focused exchange of ideas and presentation of on-going research
relevant to information and system security.

Original papers are invited in the area of computer and network
security. Papers must represent high-quality and previously
unpublished work. The research sessions will include presentations of
latest research projects, papers, posters, tutorials, panels, demos,
industrial track and exhibitions around, but not limited to, the
following topics:

- Authentication protocols and services authorization
- Data and system integrity and confidentiality
- Availability of secure services
- Key Distribution and management, PKI and security management
