*************************************************
DIMACS Workshop on Security Analysis of Protocols
June 7 - 9, 2004
DIMACS Center, CoRE Building, 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. One is the logic approach aimed at
developing automated tools for the formal verification of
protocols. The other is the computational or complexity-theoretic
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 until the last year or two.
The goal of this workshop is to promote work on security analysis of
protocols and provide a forum for cooperative research combining the
logical and complexity-based approaches.
The workshop will include tutorials on the basics of each approach and
will allow researchers from both communities to talk about their
current work.
Several tutorials and a number of research talks have already been
selected. However, some additional program slots have been set aside
for late-breaking Contributions from interested participants. If you
are interested in giving a talk, please send a title and short
abstract (1-3 pages) to the organizers, Ran Canetti and John Mitchell,
with subject heading "DIMACS Security Protocols - title and abstract,"
by May 15, 2004.
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

The workshop will be open to the public. If you'd like to give a
presentation, please send a title and abstract to the organizers by
May 15, 2004. Also, we intend this to be a participatory and
interactive meeting so we hope you will be able to contribute to the
meeting even without giving an announced talk.
