Background
--
The state of the art of cryptography is significantly better than it
was 20-30 years ago. The AES standard was developed by academia
instead of in secrecy, we have proven secure cryptographic schemes
such as RSA-OAEP, proven secure modes of operation and proven secure
protocols. Unfortunately, we see that:
* There is an imbalance between the large investment in research
on cryptography and its deployment. Today the only wide spread
Internet applications of cryptography are SSL and SSH.
* At the same time, other disciplines such as computer security
and network security have not made so much progress. We see that
many network applications such as kazaa and Internet Explorer
have been exploited to help in the spread of spyware. We see
that operating systems are not so secure. Weekly we hear about
embarrassing news related to network or computer security.
The main goal of this conference is to promote research on all aspects
of network security and cryptology. It is also the goal to build a
bridge between research on cryptography and network security. So, we
welcome scientific and academic papers that focus on this
multidisciplinary area.
The first edition of this conference was in Taipei, Taiwan, 2001. The
second one was in San Francisco, California, USA, September 26 - 28,
2002, the third in Miami, Florida, USA, September 24 - 26, 2003, and
the fourth in Xiamen, Fujian, China, December 14-16, 2005.
Proceedings
---
The conference proceedings will be published in the Lecture Notes in
Computer Science series by Springer Verlag, and be available at the
conference.
Topics of interest
--
Areas of interest for CANS '06 include, but are not limited to, the
following topics:
Ad Hoc Network Security Multicast Security
Access Control for Networks PKI
Anonymity and internet votingPhishing
Cryptology Router Security
Denial of ServiceSecure E-Mail
Fast Cryptographic AlgorithmsSecure protocols (SSH, SSL, ...)
Information Hiding Spam
Intrusion Detection Spyware
IP Security Scanning
Security Networks
Papers on cryptology are welcome. Those that make a substantial link
with network security will be given priority, since this is the main
goal of this conference. Therefore, authors of such papers are
encouraged to explain in a subsection of the introduction the link
with network security.
Instructions for Authors
The paper must start with a title, an abstract and keywords, but
should be *anonymous*. It should be followed by a succinct statement
appropriate for a non-specialist reader specifying the subject
addressed its background, the main achievements, and their
significance to Cryptology or Network Security. Technical details
directed to the specialist should then follow. A limit of 12
single-spaced pages of 11pt type (not counting the bibliography and
clearly marked appendices) is placed on all submissions. The total
paper must not exceed 18 pages. Since referees are not required to
read the appendices, the paper should be intelligible without
them. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without
consideration of their merits.
Submission instructions
---
Papers that have been or will be submitted in parallel to other
conferences or workshops that have proceedings are *not* eligible for
submission. One of the authors is expected to present the
paper. Authors who submit papers agree to have their papers published
in the proceedings and sign the copyright form.
The submission should be in A4 paper size and sent in PDF format.
