Description:

Information assurance has become an important research issue. Finding effective ways to protect information systems, networks and sensitive data within the critical information infrastructure is challenging even with the most advanced technology and trained professionals. This track aims to bring together individuals involved in multiple disciplines of information security and assurance to foster exchange of ideas. This special track invites authors to submit original contributions of not more than 8 pages which include, but are not limited to the following topics of interest:
  • Authentication
  • Data protection
  • Computer forensics
  • Internet and www security
  • Information and data integrity
  • Intrusion detection
  • Data and system integrity
  • Authorization and access control
  • Information warfare and cyber-terrorism
  • Security models and architectures
  • Risk analysis and risk management
  • Security verification
  • Cryptography and coding
  • Cryptographic protocols
  • E-commerce protocols
  • Agent and mobile code security
  • Security in sensor networks
  • Biometrics
  • Key management
  • Homeland security
  • Wireless and ad hoc network security
  • Information security management
  • Database and system security
  • Denial of service

Paper Submission:
Papers should be original and contain contributions of theoretical or experimental nature, or be unique experience reports. Interested authors should submit a 6-page summary of their original and unpublished work including 5 keywords in the IEEE format to the track chair. Electronic submission in the PDF or Word format is strongly encouraged.

Evaluation Process:
Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and soundness. Except for invited papers, all papers will be reviewed by at least three independent reviewers. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE CS Press. Selected papers presented in the conference will be considered for publication in a special issue of an international journal.

Best Student Paper:
The Best Student Paper will be awarded at the conference. To be eligible, the student must be the sole author of the paper, or the first author and primary contributor. (The winner of the award will present the paper in a plenary session at the conference). A cover letter to the General Chair/Program Chair must identify the paper as a candidate for this competition at the time of submission.
