HotWiSec 2013 - HotWiSec 2013 : The 2nd ACM Workshop on Hot Topics on Wireless Network Security and Privacy

The ACM HotWiSec workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners working in the areas of wireless networking, security and privacy to discuss exciting new research directions or out-of-the-box, disruptive or controversial ideas on exploitation or protection of wireless communications and systems. The workshop does not seek fully mature research efforts or papers, which may be more suitable for the main conference. On the contrary, this workshop aims to provide a suitable venue for discussing ideas in their infancy, so as to initiate a lively discussion on the topic and to provide early, useful feedback to the authors. Based on the feedback from this workshop, authors can decide to mature their work and consider submitting it to future ACM WiSec main conferences.
Topics of interest include exciting new ideas in the following areas:
Key management in wireless/mobile environments
Secure services (neighbor discovery, localization, etc.)
Secure PHY and MAC protocols
Trust establishment
Intrusion, attack and malicious behavior detection
Denial of service
User and location privacy
Anonymity, unobservability, prevention of traffic analysis
Identity theft and phishing in mobile networks
Charging and secure payment
Cooperation and mitigating non-cooperative behavior
Economics of wireless security
Vulnerability and attack modeling
Incentive-aware secure protocol design
Jamming/Anti-jamming communication
Cross-layer design for security
Monitoring and surveillance
Cryptographic primitives for wireless communication
Theoretical foundations and formal methods for wireless security and privacy
Security and privacy of mobile OS and mobile applications
Secure delay- and disruption-tolerant networking
Secure non-RF wireless communication (e.g., ultrasound, vision, laser)
Security/privacy in wireless smart grid and smart metering applications
Security/privacy in wireless network coding
Security/privacy in wireless/ephemeral social networking
Security/privacy in mobile / wireless cloud services
Paper Submission
Manuscript submissions should be in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) only. The page limit is 5 pages in the ACM conference style (following the ACM proceeding templates) including all bibliography and well-marked appendices. Font size should be no smaller than 10 points and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5 x 11 inches). Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other workshop, conference or journal, and has not been published before.
Please submit PDF version of the paper using the workshop easychair paper submission system at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hotwis.... All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. At least one author of accepted papers is required to register at the full registration rate, and needs to present the paper at the workshop. Papers from no-shows at the workshop will be excluded from the conference proceedings.
