THE 2004 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE AND ITS APPLICATIONS Workshop on Internet communications Security (ICCSA 2004) Contributions in Security protocols, cryptographic algorithms, remote authentication methods, VPN, etc. May 14 - May 17, 2004 S. Maria degli Angeli, Assisi(PG), Italy The Internet is becoming everyday more important for organizations of any size. They use it for doing their business, which implies the transmission of sensitive information. The only way of assuring the security requirements needed (Confidentiality, Integrity, Authentication, Non-Repudiation, Availability, etc.) is by designing, analyzing, and implementing security protection mechanisms and protocols.
