CALL FOR PAPERS

1st European Workshop on Security in Ad-Hoc and
Sensor Networks (ESAS 2004)

http://www.netlab.nec.de/esas/esas2004.html

EURESCOM, Heidelberg, Germany
5.-6. August, 2004

GENERAL INFORMATION

With more and more devices getting smart and interconnected, ad hoc and
sensor networks will open up a realm of new communication and data exchange
opportunities. These upcoming networks are characterized by their dynamic
structure, lack of a pre-established fixed infrastructure, and constrained
resources. In order to allow their successful deployment, various security
challenges must be met. Examples include missing `a priori' security 
associations,
no clear line of defense, the lack of a trusted infrastructure, complex 
multiple
domain relationships, as well as bandwidth, computing, memory, and energy 
constraints.
Due to the pervasive nature of applications relying on ad-hoc and sensor 
networks
effective provisions for robust security solutions in a reliable and power 
efficient
way must be taken. This workshop seeks submissions presenting novel 
research on all
aspects of security and cryptography for ad-hoc and sensor networks. ESAS 
2004 will
be a workshop where the cryptography, security and wireless networking 
communities
meet. Submission of papers based on work-in-progress is encouraged.

The topics include but are not limited to:

* Cryptographic protocols
* Trust establishment, negotiation, and management
* Security in constrained environments
* Cooperation and fairness based protocols
* Key management
* Scalability evaluation of secure and reliable protocols
* Secure routing
* Secure hardware modules
* Implementations of secure protocols
* Deployment of secure protocols
* Privacy and anonymity
* Secure MAC protocols

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

Authors are invited to submit original papers. The preferred submission form is
by electronic mail to [email-masked]. The submissions 
must not
exceed 10 pages (excluding the title page, bibliography and appendices), 
nor 12 pages
overall. The final version should not exceed 15 pages. Please submit the 
paper in
Postscript or PDF, together with an extra file containing the email and 
physical
address of the authors, an indication of the corresponding author, and a 
copy of
the title, key words and abstract. We recommend that you generate the PS or PDF
file using LaTeX and the LNCS style available at www.springer.de/comp/lncs. 
All
submissions will be refereed. Submissions must not substantially duplicate work
that any of the authors have published elsewhere or have submitted in parallel.
