CALL FOR PAPERS
1996 IEEE Symposium on May 6-8, 1996 Security and Privacy Oakland, California
sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Security and Privacy in cooperation with The International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR)
Since 1980, the Symposium on Security and Privacy has been the premier forum for presenting developments in computer security and for bringing together researchers and practitioners in the field.
This year, we seek to build upon this tradition of excellence by re-emphasizing work on engineering and applications as well as theoretical advances. We also seek to broaden the scope of the Symposium by introducing additional topics. We want to hear not only about new theoretical results, but also about work in the design and implementation of secure systems and work on policy relating to system security. We are particularly interested in papers on policy and technical issues relating to privacy in the context of the Information Infrastructure, papers on securing unsecure applications and operating systems, papers that relate software and system engineering technology to the design of secure systems, and papers on hardware and architectural support for secure systems.
The symposium will focus on technical aspects of security and privacy as they arise in commercial and industrial applications, as well in government and military systems. It will address advances in the theory, design, implementation, analysis, and application of secure computer systems, and in the integration and reconciliation of security and privacy with other critical system properties such as reliability, performance, and safety. Topics in which papers and panel session proposals are invited include, but are not limited to, the following:
Secure systems Privacy Issues Access controls Security verification Network security Policy modeling Information flow Authentication Database security Data integrity Security Protocols Viruses and worms Auditing Biometrics Smartcards Commercial and industrial security Intrusion Detection Security and other critical system properties Distributed systems security Novel applications of cryptography and other security techniques
We will continue the session of very brief (5-minute) talks introduced last year. Our goal is to make it possible for us to hear from people who are advancing the field in the areas of system design and implementation, and who would like to present their ideas to the symposium audience but may lack the time and resources needed to prepare a full paper. Submissions for this session will be accepted up to April 2, 1996 to permit us to hear of the most recent developments. Abstracts of these talks will be distributed at the conference.
INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS:
Send six copies of your paper and/or proposal for a panel session to John McHugh, Program Co-Chair, at the address given below. Papers and panel proposals must be received by November 6, 1996. Papers, which should include an abstract, must not exceed 7500 words. The names and affiliations of the authors should appear on a separate cover page only, as a ``blind'' refereeing process is used. In addition to the paper submission, an ASCII copy of the paper title and abstract should be sent to the Program Co-Chair (mchugh@cs.pdx.edu) by electronic mail. These will be distributed electronically (without author identification) to the entire program committee to aid in the appropriate assignment of referees. Authors must certify prior to December 25, 1996 that any and all necessary clearances for publication have been obtained.
Papers must report original work that has not been published previously, and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Abstracts, overlength papers, electronic submissions, late submissions, and papers that cannot be published in the proceedings will be rejected without review. Authors will be notified of acceptance by January 16, 1996. Camera-ready copies are due not later than March 4, 1996.
Panel proposals should describe, in two pages or less, the objective of the panel and the topic(s) to be addressed. Names and addresses of potential panelists (with position abstracts if possible) and of the moderator should also be included. Panels are not intended to serve as alternate paper sessions and it is expected that, with the possible exception of an overview of the topic area by the panel chair, individual presentations by panel members will be limited to five to ten minutes and that at least one third of the session will be reserved for discussion.
Submitters of abstracts for the special session of five-minute talks should submit one page abstracts to John McHugh, Program Co-Chair, at the address given below. The abstract should be one page or less; Email submissions of 30 to 60 lines are preferred. Abstracts must be received by April 2, 1996. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection of abstracts by April 16. Submitted abstracts that are accepted will be distributed at the conference. Presenters of five-minute talks are expected to register for the conference. Overtly commercial presentations are inappropriate.
The Symposium will also include informal poster sessions where preliminary or speculative material, and descriptions or demonstrations of software, may be presented. Send one copy of your poster session paper to Dale Johnson, at the address given below, by January 31, 1996, together with certification that any and all necessary clearances for presentation have been obtained.
Again this year, we will attempt to counsel prospective authors. If you have questions about whether or how to present your work to the symposium, please send email to the Chair (dmj@mitre.org), and we will do our best to assist you.
Information about this conference will be also be available by anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.pdx.edu in directory /pub/SP96, on the web at http://www.cs.pdx.edu/SP96. The program chairs can be reached by email at sp96@cs.pdx.edu.
