************************************************* DIMACS Workshop on Security Analysis of Protocols June 7 - 9, 2004 DIMACS Center, Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ
Organizers: John Mitchell, Stanford, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ran Canetti, IBM Watson, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Presented under the auspices of the Special Focus on Communication Security and Information Privacy. ************************************************ The analysis of cryptographic protocols is a fundamental and challenging area of network security research. Traditionally, there have been two main approaches, the logic approach aimed at developing (automated) tools for the formal veri.cation of protocols and the complexity theory approach that characterizes protocol security as a set of computational tasks and proves protocol security via reduction to the strength of the underlying cryptographic functions. Although these two lines of work share a common goal, there has been little commonality between them. The goal of this workshop is to generally promote work on security analysis of protocols and foster cooperative research combining the logical and complexity-based approaches. The workshop will include tutorials on the basics of each approach and will allow representatives from both communities to talk about their current work. TOPICS * - Analysis methods involving computational complexity * - Game-theoretic approaches * - Methods based on logic and symbolic computation * - Probabilistic methods * - Model checking and symbolic search * - Formal proof systems * - Decision procedures and lower bounds * - Anything else that sounds like a great idea ************************************************************** Participation: Interested participants may contact the organizers. ************************************************************** Registration Fees: (Pre-registration deadline: May 28, 2004) Regular Rate Preregister before deadline $120/day After preregistration deadline $140/day Reduced Rate* Preregister before deadline $60/day After preregistration deadline $70/day Postdocs Preregister before deadline $10/day After preregistration deadline $15/day DIMACS Postdocs $0 Non-Local Graduate & Undergraduate students Preregister before deadline $5/day After preregistration deadline $10/day Local Graduate & Undergraduate students $0 (Rutgers & Princeton) DIMACS partner institution employees** $0 DIMACS long-term visitors*** $0 Registration fee to be collected on site, cash, check, VISA/Mastercard accepted.
