CALL FOR PAPERS: WCAN '07 (3rd Workshop on Cryptography for Ad hoc Networks)
A Satellite Workshop of the 34th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming (ICALP 2007)
Date: July 8th, 2007
Location: Wroclaw, Poland
Web page: www.argreenhouse.com/society/wcan07/wcan07page.html

Workshop Theme and Motivations:
Wireless ad hoc networks are today receiving much attention for military, commercial
and civilian applications, thus becoming a challenging area in security research.
The security research community has mainly focused on securing routing and is only
recently widening its scope of analysis. The cryptography research community has mainly
focused on abstract models of networks like the Internet; however, cryptographic protocols
for the Internet face serious challenges to be adapted to the ad-hoc, partial-connectivity,
mobile, resource-constrained and infrastructureless nature of ad-hoc networks.
The aim of this workshop is to help bridging this gap, towards a more comprehensive
investigation of security and cryptographic tools, analysis and modeling methodologies
over ad hoc networks, by bringing together the cryptography, network security,
and wireless networking communities.
We seek submissions containing original research on all aspects of cryptology that
are motivated by their applicability to ad hoc networks, including wireless, cellular,
sensor, mesh, peer-to-peer, vehicular and RFID-based networks. Short surveys of related
sub-areas are also encouraged. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics that are
of interest to this workshop, when clearly motivated by and clearly focusing on ad hoc networks
(cryptology papers not focusing on or not describing applications to ad hoc networks
do not fit in the workshop interest area):
Modeling of cryptographic tasks
Solutions to cryptographic tasks under party mobility
Solutions to cryptographic tasks under resource constraints
Secure routing
Bootstrapping of security associations
Distributed public-key infrastructures
Key-agreement, key-management and key-(pre)distribution
Entity authentication
Trust establishment
Privacy-enhancing technologies
Threshold cryptography
Identity-Based cryptography
Policy-based cryptography
Secure multi-party protocols
Security in distributed algorithms and protocols

Author Instructions
Instructions to prepare your submission.
Submissions can belong to two Paper Categories: Regular papers and Surveys.
(Please explicitly specify the survey category in the title, for example "Survey Paper:
All Cryptographic Schemes for Ad Hoc Networks".)
Submissions need to be at most 8-page long in a standard one-column format
(suggested format: LaTeX, in article style), excluding appendices.
Submitted papers must be original work that is authorized to be released and does not
substantially duplicate work that has been previously published or is currently being refereed
for publication in another workshop, conference or journal.
Submission Instructions: go to
https://wcan2007.research.telcordia.com/myreview/index.php?authorsInstructio ns=1
and follow the simple instructions in there
Instructions to prepare your final version:
Papers accepted to this workshop will be published on the
Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS).
Authors of accepted papers will need to write their final version in LaTeX,
using ENTCS style files, and send their latex file as well as all necessary files
for compiling the latex file (including the .pdf file).
The required length of final versions is at least 10 pages and at most 16 pages, in ENTCS style.
For a final version to be included in the workshop proceedings,
at least one of the authors of the paper must register to the workshop.
