PILATES 2012 - Workshop on Physically-augmented Security for Wireless Networks (PILATES 2012)

Workshop on Physically-augmented Security for Wireless Networks (PILATES 2012) in conjunction with MMB&DFT 2012

March 19 - 21, 2012 in Kaiserslautern (Germany)

SCOPE

The goal of the PILATES'12 workshop is to discuss "workout plans" in the discipline of physically-augmented wireless security. In particular, the focus lies on taking advantage of physical characteristics of wireless communications as well as of physical context in general or side-channels to increase the "fitness" of conventional security protocols. Both single-hop as well as multi-hop wireless networks are in scope of the workshop. The workshop accepts technical papers and extended abstracts with topics of interest that include but are not limited to:

Security primitives derived from wireless communication
Physically-augmented cryptographic protocols
Physically unclonable functions (PUF)
Wireless threat modeling and security analysis
Jamming & anti-jamming security protocols
Secure localization and positioning
Quantitative evaluation of wireless system security
Cross-layer approaches to secure wireless communication
Utilizing multi-* for security (multi-hop, multi-channel, multi-radio, etc.)

CONTRIBUTION FORMAT

PILATES'12 encourages the submission of either long papers or extended abstracts (position papers). Submissions should not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings The long papers should not exceed 15 pages and extended abstracts 3 pages. All the submissions must adhere to the LNCS format, and should be sent as PDF to pilates-AT-mmb2012.de.

All accepted long paper contributions will appear in the conference proceedings, whereas the accepted extended abstracts will appear in a technical report of the University of Kaiserslautern. Authors of the extended abstracts retain the copyright of their work.
