Scope: 

Network and Internet security has become a crucial requirement for
both users and service providers. The Internet is a commercial
infrastructure where sensitive and confidential personal and business
data are carried over public networks. Although security is often
treated as an after-thought, this attitude is changing. Security
within an application needs to be considered as a fundamental element
of the application, treated analogously to Quality of Service (QoS)
considerations. Security is often viewed as a one-size-fits-all
paradigm, but this is difficult to sustain due to the eclectic
collection of communications mediums that compose the Internet
infrastructure. The danger of a cookie-cutter strategy is that
security will contend with performance since it is not suited to the
environment. As the QoS requirements of applications and the physical
layer properties internetworking become more diverse, agile but robust
and consistent security solutions are needed. This is difficult, since
custom solutions typically have difficulty surviving in a mass market,
yet flexibility is needed for security use to become ubiquitous.

                   We are interested in tutorial-oriented research
papers that describe real services, software systems and
experiments. Work-in-progress papers describing the state of on-going
research projects in Internet security are encouraged. Research papers
should demonstrate the feasibility of the approach and describe the
state of realization. Case studies and applied papers should discuss
the key factors that made the system work and should also mention the
pitfalls and problems encountered and how they may be overcome. Topics
of interest include:

                       Intrusion detection 
                       Authentication 
                       Mobile code and agent security 
                       Privacy and anonymity 
                       Key management 
                       Access control and Firewalls 
                       Wireless, mobile network security 
                       Secure multicasting 
                       Data integrity 
                       Security verification 
                       Security protocols 
                       Policy modeling 
                       Commercial security 
                       Electronic commerce 
                       Security management
