Call for Papers

2008 Workshop of Information Security intends to provide a forum for disseminating the latest research results in information, network and systems security. This workshop will bring together industry and academic researchers interested in the technical aspects of cryptology and the latest advances in the information, network and systems security.  Your presentation at the workshop would be an excellent opportunity for you to meet colleagues and to discuss technology advancements. The workshop covers a broad range of topics in computer security, including, but not limited to, the following areas:

• Access Control

• Accounting and Audit

• Biometric Security

• Communication and Network Security

• Denial of Service: attacks and countermeasures.

• Formal Methods in Security

• Fundamental services on network and distributed systems: authentication, data integrity, confidentiality, authorization, non-repudiation, and availability.

• Implementation, deployment and management of network security policies

• Infrastructure Security

• Integrating security services with system and application security facilities and protocols: e.g., message handling, file transport/access, directories, time synchronization, database management, boot services, mobile computing.

• Intrusion avoidance, detection, and response: systems, experiences and architectures.

• Key Management, Cryptographic Protocols and Functions

• Multicast Security

• Network perimeter controls: firewalls, packet filters, application gateways

• Peer-to-Peer Network Security

• Secure E-Mail, Secure Protocols (SSH, SSL, ...)

• Computer Crime and Information Warfare

• Computer Forensics

• Cryptography

• Block/Stream Cipher

• Cryptanlaysis
