Final Call for Papers Fifth ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security San Francisco, California November 3-5, 1998 Sponsored by ACM SIGSAC Papers offering novel research contributions in any aspect of computer security are solicited for submission to the Fifth ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security. Papers may present theory, technique, applications, or practical experience on topics including but not limited to access control authentication accounting and audit mobile code security applied cryptography data/system integrity cryptographic electronic commerce intrusion detection protocols key management privacy and anonymity intellectual property protection information warfare secure networking secure operating systems viruses and worms security management distributed systems security database security smart-cards and secure security verification PDAs Accepted papers will be presented at the conference and published by the ACM in a conference proceedings. Outstanding papers will be invited for possible publication in ACM Transactions on Information and System Security. Instructions for paper submissions: Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with a proceedings. Papers should be at most 15 pages excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices (using 11-point font and reasonable margins on 8.5'x11' paper), and at most 20 pages total.
