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.
