-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Workshop on Information Assurance CFP Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2003 22:51:30 -0500 (EST) From: David Tipper dtipper@mail.sis.pitt.edu To: tccc@cs.columbia.edu
Workshop on Information Assurance (WIA04) In conjunction with the 23rd IEEE International Performance Computing and Communications Conference (IPCCC) http://www.ipccc.org/ipccc2004 Phoenix, Arizona April 14-17, 2004
Scope: Information Assurance (IA) is defined as the operations undertaken to protect and defend information and information systems by ensuring their availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality and non-repudiation. Information assurance for networks is as critical as it is for information systems. Availability implies that networks and systems must be survivable and fault tolerant they should possess redundancies to operate under failures or security breaches. For example, networks should be designed with sufficient spare and working capacity, efficient traffic restoration protocols, alarms and network management. Security encompasses the other aspects of IA, namely integrity, access-control, authentication, confidenti- ality and non-repudiation as they apply to both networks and systems. The The increasing reliance of business-to-business and business to consumer applications on networked information systems dramatically magnifies the consequence of damages resulting from even simple system faults and intrusions, making the task of assuring confidentiality, availability and integrity of information difficult. Although several piecemeal solutions address concerns related to the security and fault tolerance of various components of such networksed information systems, there is a growing need to leverage the synergy between security and survivability to provide a higher level of information assurance in the face of faults and attacks.
We seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, systems-related and work in-progress in the area of Information Assurance at the network and system levels. We expect to have three sessions - the first related to survivability and fault tolerance, the second related to security, and the third related to the interactions between security and survivability. Papers in the form of extended abstracts should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. Papers accepted for presentation will be published in the IPCCC conference proceedings. The workshop will also include invited papers.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Security and availability of web services - Authorization and access-control - Database and system security - Risk analysis and security management - Verification and validation of security - Wireless LAN Security - Restoration techniques for networks - Multi-layer protection design - Reliability/Availability of IP networks - Digital Rights Management - DoS protection for the Internet - Cryptographic protocols and Key management - Network security and Intrusion detection - Ad hoc and sensor network security - Models and architectures for systems security and survivability - Security and survivability in optical networks - Restoration of security services under failure - Security and survivability architectures for e-commerce and m-commerce - Public policy issues for security and survivability
