Corporations and governments are starting to realize their power to track users and their behavior, and restrict the ability to publish or retrieve documents. Approaches to protecting individuals, groups, and even companies and governments from such profiling and censorship have included decentralization, encryption, and distributed trust. Building on the success of the first anonymity and unobservability workshop (held in Berkeley in July 2000) and the second workshop (held in San Francisco in April 2002), this third workshop addresses the design and realization of such privacy and anti-censorship services for the Internet and other communication networks. These workshops bring together anonymity and privacy experts from around the world to discuss recent advances and new perspectives. The workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of privacy technologies, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems. We encourage submissions from other communities such as law and business that present their perspectives on technological issues. As in past years, we will publish proceedings after the workshop. Suggested topics include but are not restricted to: * Efficient (technically or economically) realization of privacy services * Techniques for censorship resistance * Anonymous communication systems (theory or practice) * Anonymous publishing systems (theory or practice) * Attacks on anonymity systems (eg traffic analysis) * New concepts in anonymity systems * Protocols that preserve anonymity/privacy * Models for anonymity and unobservability * Models for threats to privacy * Novel relations of payment mechanisms and anonymity * Privacy-preserving/protecting access control * Privacy-enhanced data authentication/certification * Profiling, data mining, and data protection technologies * Reliability, robustness, and attack resistance in privacy systems * Providing/funding privacy infrastructures (eg volunteer vs business) * Pseudonyms, identity, linkability, and trust * Privacy, anonymity, and peer-to-peer * Usability issues and user interfaces for PETs * Policy, law, and human rights -- anonymous systems in practice * Incentive-compatible solutions to privacy protection * Economics of privacy systems * Fielded systems and techniques for enhancing privacy in existing systems IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline December 2, 2002 Acceptance notification February 7, 2003 Camera-ready copy for preproceedings March 7, 2003 Camera-ready copy for proceedings April 28, 2003 CHAIRS Roger Dingledine, The Free Haven Project, USA Andreas Pfitzmann, Dresden University of Technology, Germany PROGRAM COMMITTEE Alessandro Acquisti, SIMS, UC Berkeley, USA Stefan Brands, Credentica, Canada Jean Camp, Kennedy School, Harvard University, USA David Chaum, USA Richard Clayton, University of Cambridge, England Lorrie Cranor, AT&T Labs - Research, USA Roger Dingledine, The Free Haven Project, USA (program chair) Hannes Federrath, Freie Universitaet Berlin, Germany Ian Goldberg, Zero Knowledge Systems, Canada Marit Hansen, Independent Centre for Privacy Protection Schleswig-Holstein, Germany Markus Jakobsson, RSA Laboratories, USA Brian Levine, University of Massachusetts at Amherst, USA David Martin, University of Massachusetts at Lowell, USA Andreas Pfitzmann, Dresden University of Technology, Germany Matthias Schunter, IBM Zurich Research Lab, Switzerland Andrei Serjantov, University of Cambridge, England Adam Shostack, Zero Knowledge Systems, Canada Paul Syverson, Naval Research Lab, USA PAPER SUBMISSIONS Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers should be at most 15 pages excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices (using 11-point font and reasonable margins), and at most 20 pages total. Committee members are not required to read the appendices and the paper should be intelligible without them. The paper should start with the title, names of authors and an abstract. The introduction should give some background and summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. During the workshop preproceedings will be made available. Final versions are not due until after the workshop, giving the authors the opportunity to revise their papers based on discussions during the meeting. Submissions can be made in Postscript or PDF format. To submit a paper, send a plain ASCII text email to <arma@mit.edu> containing the title and abstract of the paper, the authors' names, email and postal addresses, phone and fax numbers, and identification of the contact author. To the same message, attach your submission (as a MIME attachment). Papers must be received by December 2, 2002. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to authors no later than February 7, 2003, and authors will have the opportunity to revise for the preproceedings version by March 7, 2003. Submission implies that, if accepted, the author(s) agree to publish in the proceedings and to sign a standard copyright release, and also that an author of the paper will present it at the workshop. ----- End forwarded message ----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majordomo@wasabisystems.com
