The security research community has mainly focused on securing routing and is only recently widening its scope of analysis. The cryptography research community has mainly focused on abstract models of networks like the Internet; however, cryptographic protocols for the Internet face serious challenges to be adapted to the ad-hoc, partial-connectivity, mobile, resource-constrained and infrastructureless nature of ad-hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to help bridging this gap, towards a more comprehensive investigation of security and cryptographic tools, analysis and modeling methodologies over ad hoc networks, by bringing together the cryptography, network security, and wireless networking communities. We seek submissions containing original research on all aspects of cryptology that are motivated by their applicability to ad hoc networks, including wireless, cellular, sensor, mesh, peer-to-peer, vehicular and RFID-based networks. Short surveys of related sub-areas are also encouraged. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics that are of interest to this workshop, when clearly motivated by and clearly focusing on ad hoc networks (cryptology papers not focusing on or not describing applications to ad hoc networks do not fit in the workshop interest area): Modeling of cryptographic tasks Solutions to cryptographic tasks under party mobility Solutions to cryptographic tasks under resource constraints Secure routing Bootstrapping of security associations Distributed public-key infrastructures Key-agreement, key-management and key-(pre)distribution Entity authentication Trust establishment Privacy-enhancing technologies Threshold cryptography Identity-Based cryptography Policy-based cryptography Secure multi-party protocols Security in distributed algorithms and protocols -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates: Paper submissions due: April 23rd, 2007 Notifications to the authors: May 23rd, 2007 Camera-ready papers due June 7th, 2007 ICALP 07 Conference July 9-13 2007 WCAN 07 Workshop July 8th, 2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author Instructions Instructions to prepare your submission. Submissions can belong to two Paper Categories: Regular papers and Surveys. (Please explicitly specify the survey category in the title, for example "Survey Paper: All Cryptographic Schemes for Ad Hoc Networks".) Submissions need to be at most 8-page long in a standard one-column format (suggested format: LaTeX, in article style), excluding appendices. Submitted papers must be original work that is authorized to be released and does not substantially duplicate work that has been previously published or is currently being refereed for publication in another workshop, conference or journal. Submission Instructions: go to https://wcan2007.research.telcordia.com/myreview/index.php?authorsInstructio... and follow the simple instructions in there Instructions to prepare your final version: Papers accepted to this workshop will be published on the Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS). Authors of accepted papers will need to write their final version in LaTeX, using ENTCS style files, and send their latex file as well as all necessary files for compiling the latex file (including the .pdf file). The required length of final versions is at least 10 pages and at most 16 pages, in ENTCS style. For a final version to be included in the workshop proceedings, at least one of the authors of the paper must register to the workshop. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Program Chairs: Giovanni Di Crescenzo (Telcordia, Piscataway, New Jersey, USA).
