WWW2006 Refereed Track: Security, privacy & Ethics
Viruses, spyware, and identity theft are turning the World Wide Web into
a dangerous place. By undermining consumer trust, these problems are
hampering e-commerce and the growth of online communities. A basic
lesson is coming home to researchers, operators, and ordinary users
alike: Security and privacy are not frills or features, but vital and
enabling building blocks. As Web-based systems take on a physical
dimension through wireless devices and sensors, and as they absorb
varied media — from books to online games to home movies — digital
security is ramifying in its economic and social reach.
This track promotes the view that security, privacy, and sound guiding
ethics must be part of the texture of a successful World Wide Web. In
addition to devising practical tools and techniques, it is the duty of
the research community to promote and guide business adoption of
security technology for the Web and to help inform related legislation.
The organizers seek novel research in security, privacy, and ethics as
they relate to the Web, including but not limited to the following areas:
* Biometrics and secure template management
* Digital Rights Management from its technical, ethical, and legal
perspectives
* Economic / business analysis of Web security and privacy
* Electronic commerce, particularly security mechanisms for e-cash,
auctions, payment, and fraud detection
* Intrusion detection, insider threats, auditing, and honeypots
* Legal and legislative approaches to issues of Web security and
privacy
* Location-based services
* Knowledge-based authentication, such as security questions for
password recovery
* Privacy-enhancing technologies, including anonymity, pseudonymity
and identity management
* Public-key infrastructure and supporting concepts like digital
signatures and certification
* Secure and robust management of server farms
* User interfaces as they relate to digital signing, encryption,
passwords, and online scams like phishing
* Wireless devices that interface with the Web, including RFID,
sensors, and mobile phones
* Web-services and supporting standards like XML

The World's WWW Conference
WWW2006 will bring together the international communities of
researchers, developers and business that drive the Web forward, shaping
and developing its potential for new areas of communication, research,
business and public administration.
Since the first international WWW Conference in 1994, this prestigious
event, organized by the International World Wide Web Conference
Committee (IW3C2), has provided the annual public forum for
communicating research and development of the Web infrastructure and
applications, as well as W3C initiatives.
The fifteenth conference in the series comes to the UK for the first
time, and to one of the great historical centres of science and
technology. Edinburgh is Scotland's capital city, home to one of the
UK's oldest universities, an epicentre of the IT business sector and one
of the world's great festival cities.
The WWW2006 programme addresses topics in media, e-government,
e-commerce, education and e-science. The technical programme will draw
on global research and industrial strengths to provide a strategic forum
for the dissemination of new techniques and applications throughout the
research community, the business and company sector and government agencies.
