| Dates | Title | | 1 | Workshop on GENI and Security
GENISEC 2009
(Davis, California, USA) | Deadline:
Dates:
2009-01-22
2009-01-23 | The Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) is a suite of network research infrastructures now in its design and prototyping phase. It is sponsored by the National Science Foundation to support experimental research in network science and engineering. The goal of this workshop is to engage the security community in GENI's design and prototyping, to ensure that security issues are properly considered during its development. First, what classes of security experiments should GENI support? What capabilities will GENI require to allow the conduct of these experiments? The capabilities may be intrinsic to GENI (such as equipment or software of a particular kind) or extrinsic (such as organizational management, or external interfaces and connectivity). Experiments involving malware or vulnerabilities analysis may require that parts of the infrastructure suite be partitioned from other parts. Deploying and testing new protocols may require that the suite be partitioned to prevent errors in the implementation or in the protocol itself from interfering with other uses of the infrastructure. Second, how can GENI itself be adequately secured and protected from attack? What forms of authentication, authorization, and accountability would be most appropriate? As access to GENI will be from the Internet, GENI will be exposed to potential attackers. Other types of attack may involve physical compromise of the systems making up GENI, or of the Internet (or other) infrastructure that provides support for GENI. Protocols, management and organizational procedures and processes, and access control mechanisms must be developed to safeguard both the GENI resource and the data and software that researchers deploy on it. As the GENI Project Office expects to issue its 2nd solicitation for GENI analysis and prototyping subcontracts in the middle of December, with proposals due in mid-February, it is anticipated that topics discussed at the workshop will lead to proposals from the security community. We invite short (1 paragraph preferably; at most 1 page) statements of ideas addressing these two issues. For example, what security-related experiments would you like to run on GENI, and what benefit would you expect from them? What constraints or requirements would you need to carry out the experiments? How can we shield other experiments and work being done using GENI from the effects of your (or others?) experiments? How can we prevent GENI from being attacked? The workshop is designed to discuss these, and other, questions. | | 2 | 5th Annual IFIP WG 11.9 International Conference on Digital Forensics

| | 7 | 1st SHA-3 Candidate Conference
SHA-3 2009
(Leuven, Belgium) | Deadline:
Dates:
2009-02-25
2009-02-28 | The purpose of the SHA-3 Conference is to allow the submitters of the first round candidates to present their algorithms, and for NIST to discuss the way forward with the competition. It appears that the number of accepted submissions will considerably exceed the number that NIST and the community can analyze thoroughly in a reasonable time period. NIST is considering ways to involve the cryptographic community in quickly reducing the number of submissions to a more manageable number. The process and criteria for this selection will be a major topic of this conference. | | 8 | 24th ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC 2009),

| | 10 | 2nd Workshop on Privacy and Security by means of Artificial Intelligence,
Held in conjunction with ARES 2009
PSAI 2009
(Fukoka, Japan) | Deadline:
Dates:
2009-03-16
2009-03-19 | In this workshop, we aim to convene researchers in the areas of Security, Data Privacy and Artificial Intelligence. We seek to collect the most recent advances in artificial intelligence techniques (i.e. neural networks, fuzzy systems, multi-agent systems, genetic algorithms, image analysis, clustering, etc), which are applied to the protection of privacy and security. Individual privacy protection is a hot topic and it must be addressed to guarantee the proper evolution of a modern society based on the Information and Communication Techniques (ICTs). However, security policies could invade individual privacy, especially after the appearance of the new forms of terrorism. These two concepts (i.e. security and privacy) are somehow opposite because, most of the times, security is achieved by means of privacy invasion. Statistical agencies and the like are collecting large amounts of personal information that has to be protected before its publication. Different forms of evolutionary computation and clustering have been proposed to tackle this problem. Moreover, the protection of critical infrastructures such as airports has invigorated the study of more efficient techniques for pattern recognition, image analysis, etc. |
