CALL FOR PAPERS

1st European Workshop on Security in Ad-Hoc and Sensor Networks (ESAS 2004)

http://www.netlab.nec.de/esas/esas2004.html

EURESCOM, Heidelberg, Germany 5.-6. August, 2004

GENERAL INFORMATION

With more and more devices getting smart and interconnected, ad hoc and sensor networks will open up a realm of new communication and data exchange opportunities. These upcoming networks are characterized by their dynamic structure, lack of a pre-established fixed infrastructure, and constrained resources. In order to allow their successful deployment, various security challenges must be met. Examples include missing `a priori' security associations, no clear line of defense, the lack of a trusted infrastructure, complex multiple domain relationships, as well as bandwidth, computing, memory, and energy constraints. Due to the pervasive nature of applications relying on ad-hoc and sensor networks effective provisions for robust security solutions in a reliable and power efficient way must be taken. This workshop seeks submissions presenting novel research on all aspects of security and cryptography for ad-hoc and sensor networks. ESAS 2004 will be a workshop where the cryptography, security and wireless networking communities meet. Submission of papers based on work- in-progress is encouraged.

The topics include but are not limited to:

* Cryptographic protocols * Trust establishment, negotiation, and management * Security in constrained environments * Cooperation and fairness based protocols * Key management * Scalability evaluation of secure and reliable protocols * Secure routing * Secure hardware modules * Implementations of secure protocols * Deployment of secure protocols * Privacy and anonymity * Secure MAC protocols

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

Authors are invited to submit original papers. The preferred submission form is by electronic mail to Claude.Castelluccia@inrialpes.fr. The submissions must not exceed 10 pages (excluding the title page, bibliography and appendices),nor 12 pages overall. The final version should not exceed 15 pages. Please submit the paper in Postscript or PDF, together with an extra file containing the email and physical address of the authors, an indication of the corresponding author, and a copy of the title, key words and abstract. We recommend that you generate the PS or PDF file using LaTeX and the LNCS style available at www.springer.de/comp/lncs. All submissions will be refereed. Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors have published elsewhere or have submitted in parallel.
