SPW 2016 - 2016 International Workshop on Security Protocols

He Twenty-fourth International Workshop on Security Protocols will take place from Wednesday April 6th to Friday April 8th, 2016 at Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic. As with previous years, attendance at the International Workshop on Security Protocols is by invitation only.
Theme
In keeping with this year’s location ? Brno is where Gregor Mendel presented his seminal Versuche über Pflanzenhybriden (Experiments on Plant Hybridization) ? our theme is “Evolving Security”.
Security protocols evolve: security requirements evolve, and so do security mechanisms. Just to keep things fair, attackers have been evolving their agenda and capabilities as well. And, of course, there are the protocols that refuse to evolve, despite selection pressure to do so: what are they, and when will they go extinct?
Evolution itself is also a potential source of conceptual inspiration for designing new security processes and models. Is our password-shaped appendix still useful? Does natural selection really apply to all security protocols, or only in some contexts? To what extent are security properties epigenetic? What does security “fitness” even mean?
