WiSec 2012 - 2012 The Fifth ACM Conference on Wireless Network Security

As wireless and mobile networking becomes ubiquitous, security and privacy become increasingly critical. The focus of the ACM Conference on Wireless Network Security (ACM WiSec) is on exploring vulnerabilities, threats, and attacks in wireless communications and the techniques needed to address them. Settings of interest include cellular, metropolitan, mesh, local-area, personalâ??area, home, vehicular, sensor, ad hoc, satellite, cognitive radio, RFID, and underwater networks as well as systems using non-RF wireless communication.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
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
The proceedings of ACM WiSec are published by the ACM.
