by Lars Wolf 28 May '08

28 May '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IJAACS special issue on Security, Trust and Privacy in DTV and VANETs [Deadline extended to July 1] Datum: Wed, 28 May 2008 12:54:34 +0900 Von: Zonghua Zhang <zonghua.zhang(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Referenzen: <abcc67750805272053g7ab36051jc377daeaebc22cf(a)mail.gmail.com> Apologies for possible cross-posting. Please feel free to distribute this CFP to your colleagues. Call for papers -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *International Journal of Autonomous and Adaptive Communications Systems ( IJAACS)* Special Issue on: "Security, Trust, and Privacy in DTN and Vehicular Communications" *http://www.inderscience.com/browse/callpaper.php?callID=857 * -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recent years have witnessed the rapid development and wide-spread application of wireless communication technologies, which have significantly enhanced access to Internet services and provide various means for ubiquitous computing that enables high-speed and high-quality information exchange between mobile/portable devices located anywhere in the globe. Among the various application scenarios enabled by these technologies, DTN (Delay-Tolerant Networks) and VANETs (Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks) represent the most promising and popular ones, as they are characterized by autonomous and adaptive communications. DTN concerns partial sub-networks, aiming at providing network connections between devices and areas that are not well-served by current networking technology. The nodes in DTN carry the packets while they are moving, and then forward the packets once a wireless connection is available between them. Vehicular communications allow the real-time information exchange between vehicles and infrastructures, with the objective of enhancing road safety and optimizing road traffic. VANETs are primarily enabled by inter-vehicular (or Car-to-Car, C2C) communications and vehicle-roadside communications (or Car-to-Infrastructure, C2I). Despite their tremendous potential and far-reaching impacts on the revolution of human life, both DTNs and VANETs suffer from security and privacy issues which dramatically limit their applications. First of all, they have similar vulnerabilities to other wireless networks, which allow attackers to manipulate and inject messages, breaching system availability, confidentiality and integrity. Besides the traditional prevention techniques, trust management may serve as another security basis for nodes cooperation and information dissemination. Furthermore, the unique characteristics of DTNs and VANETs such as uncertain mobility and unpredictable latency, make security for those networks even more challenging. In particular, due to the frequent disconnections between nodes in DTNs, distributed certificate authorities rather than centralized ones are more desirable (while the frequent distribution of a large amount of certificates should be avoided due to high round-trip time), and the user credentials/keys should be updated periodically instead of relying on revocation messages. Moreover, due to the sporadic connectivity and long delay of message transmissions in DTNs, secure message management is needed to eliminate expired messages and avoid information leakage. In VANETs, the high-speed mobility and the large number of network entities call for time-efficient and cost-saving authorization and authentication models, as well as fast attacker detection, revocation and trace back schemes. In addition, both DTN and VANETs suffer from the privacy-invasive issue, which naturally arises in the environment where the mobile equipments are bounded to the moving users. A suite of privacy-preserving techniques are required to provide the fine level protection of the critical information and user profiles, e.g., a set of equipments related to a particular user in DTNs, personal information (and the liability in case of authority investigation) related to drivers and passengers in VANETs. This special issue is devoted to the most state-of-the-art proposals and cutting-edge research achievements on security and privacy issues in both DTN and VANETs. *Object Coverage* We solicit papers that report original and unpublished work on topics including, but not limited to, the following: - Anonymity, authentication and key management - Attacker trace back - Denial of service and Sybil attacks - Identity theft and phishing in VANETs - Location privacy and user privacy - Intrusion detection, misbehaviour detection and response - Privacy preserving - Revocation of compromised nodes - Security models/architectures and threat models - Secure communications protocols - Secure positioning - Secure billing in VANETs - Surveillance and monitoring - Tamper proof device - Trust management - Vulnerability/attacker modeling and analysis *Notes for Prospective Authors* Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

[Tccc] CFP: 1st ACM Workshop on Network Data Anonymization - deadline extended to June 1st
by Elisa Boschi 27 May '08

27 May '08

[apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP] -- Deadline extended to June 1st! -- CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------------------------------- Network Data Anonymization (NDA) Workshop An ACM CCS workshop October 31, 2008 Alexandria, VA, USA http://www.ics.forth.gr/~antonat/nda08.html -------------------------------------------- Over the last decade, the network security community (and the Internet measurement community in general) has suffered from two fundamental and related problems: (1) a lack of "real" network data for research studies and prototype testing, and (2) a lack of network data sharing among organizations, which impedes cooperation in network defense; as attacks typically cross organizational boundaries, effective prevention requires defenders to look beyond their own perimeter in cooperation with other organizations. Anonymization techniques are crucial for the safe sharing of network data. They are necessary to obscure certain identifying information (e.g., IP addresses) in order to protect the privacy of end users and the security of internal networks. While current network data anonymization techniques are generally acknowledged to be useful, it is difficult to ensure they are free from information leakage. Also, anonymization involves fundamental tradeoffs between the protection of user privacy and the utility of the resulting data, and these tradeoffs need to be better understood. This workshop seeks to focus on new and innovative solutions for anonymizing network data that will ensure appropriate protection of host identities, network configurations, and network security practices within enterprise networks. Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following: - data sharing via anonymization - privacy-preserving data mining - data anonymization tools - data anonymization policy creation/implementation - data anonymization case studies/best practices - streaming data anonymization - anonymization issues specific to network data - business services enabled by anonymization - data protection laws relevant to data anonymization Papers submitted documenting attacks on anonymized systems are strongly encouraged to propose a corresponding protection solution. While the focus of this workshop is on network data anonymization, applications of anonymization to other data domains ( e.g., medical data, homeland security, reputation systems, government records, transportation etc.) are welcome if the authors include a statement of relevance. ---------------- Important Dates: ---------------- Paper submissions due: Sunday, May 25, 2008 --> extended to June 1st!
