MWSN 2013 - IEEE International Workshop on Security and Privacy of Mobile, Wireless and Sensor Networks

IEEE International Workshop on Security and Privacy of Mobile, Wireless
and Sensor Networks
9:00am - 5:00pm, June 23, 2013
Co-located with IEEE SECON 2013 in New Orleans USA
Website: http://www2.cs.uh.edu/mwsn
To cope with the rapid increase in mobile users and the increasing
demand for mobile, wireless and sensor networks (MWSNs), it is
becoming imperative to provide the necessary security protocols and
privacy guarantees to users of MWSNs. In turn, these specific demands
in security and privacy require new methodologies that are
specifically designed to cope with the strict requirements of the
networks. In general, the real-world performance of MWSNs crucially
depends on the selected protocols, and their suitability and
efficiency for the layers of the implementation. A satisfactory
security design and protocol are therefore crucial for the performance
of MWSNs. It is a great challenge to achieve efficient and robust
realizations of such highly dynamic and secure MWSNs. Moreover, the
study of security and privacy in the context of MWSNs provides
insights into problems and solutions that are orthogonal to
programming languages, programming paradigms, computer hardware, and
other aspects of the implementation. The objective for this workshop
is to address those topics, which we believe will play an important
role in current and future research on and education of MWSNs.
The workshop will focus on, but not limited to, the following areas:
- Security models and architectures for MWSNs;
- Routing security in MWSNs;
- MWSNs topology control/node access control;
- Anonymity/authentication and application;
- Various privacy and security models;
- Privacy-preserving systems;
- Security and verifiability in network protocols;
- Distributed systems security;
- Security and privacy policies;
- Intrusion detection;
- Case studies;
- Educational topics and courses.
The workshop is planned for one day on June 23, 2013 before the
conference, with two keynote speeches, two technical sessions, and a
concluding panel discussion. The keynote speeches will be delivered by
two well-known researchers in the field. All submissions must describe
original research, not published nor currently under review for
another workshop, conference, or journal. All papers must be submitted
electronically via the EDAS system: http://edas.info/. Papers must be
no longer than 8 pages and in font size no smaller than 10 points.
Detailed layout guidelines except the page length are the same as
recommended in http://www.ieee-secon.org. Submission implies the
willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present
the paper. Accepted papers will be included in the main proceedings of
IEEE SECON 2013 and published by IEEE. The presenter must register for
the workshop before the deadline for author registration. The accepted
papers will be compiled in the workshop proceedings as either a
regular paper within 8-pages or a poster paper within 2-pages. A
limited number of high quality submissions will be selected for
publication in a special issue of International Journal of Security
and Networks. Reduced registration fees will be provided to selected
participants through an NSF grant.
