The conference is soliciting state-of-the-art research papers in the following areas of interest:

• Security of Web-based applications and services

• Anti-malware techniques: detection, analysis, and prevention

• Intrusion prevention, detection, and response

• Security for electronic voting

• Combating cyber-crime: anti-phishing, anti-spam, anti-fraud techniques

• Privacy and anonymity technologies

• Network perimeter controls: firewalls, packet filters, and application gateways

• Security for emerging technologies: sensor networks, wireless/mobile (and ad hoc) networks, and personal communication systems

• Security for Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs)

• Security for peer-to-peer and overlay network systems

• Security for electronic commerce: e.g., payment, barter, EDI, notarization, timestamping, endorsement, and licensing

• Implementation, deployment and management of network security policies

• Intellectual property protection: protocols, implementations, metering, watermarking, digital rights management

• Integrating security services with system and application security facilities and protocols

• Public key infrastructures, key management, certification, and revocation

• Special problems and case studies: e.g., tradeoffs between security and efficiency, usability, reliability and cost

• Security for collaborative applications: teleconferencing and video-conferencing

• Software hardening: e.g., detecting and defending against software bugs (overflows, etc.)

• Security for large-scale systems and critical infrastructures

• Integrating security in Internet protocols: routing, naming, network management
