TCPLS 2013 - 2013 Workshop on Trusted Communications with Physical Layer Security (TCPLS)

GLOBECOM 2013 Workshop on Trusted Communications with Physical Layer Security (TCPLS)
Atlanta, GA USA
December 9th 2013

Background and Goals
Transmissions in wireless systems are exposed to eavesdroppers that may intercept the information exchange between legitimate terminals and decrypt confidential messages. Over the past few years the wireless communications community has turned the attention to physical layer security, a promising new layer of defense to realize wireless secrecy communications independent of the conventional cryptosystems that typically assume limited computational complexity of eavesdroppers. The idea behind physical layer security is to exploit the uncorrelated nature of the wireless medium with the aim to maximize the uncertainty about the source messages at the eavesdropper.The objective of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry for discussion and technical presentations on fundamental and practically relevant questions related to many challenges arising from secure physical layer communications. In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following:
Methodologies and architectures for physical layer security
Signal processing for physical layer security
Fundamental theory for physical layer security
Secrecy diversity for MIMO Gaussian wiretap channels
Advanced spatial diversity for physical layer security
Secure cooperative communications
Secure two-way cooperative communications
secure MIMO communications
Secure cognitive radio systems based on physical layer security
Cross-layer optimization to augment the security of wireless systems
Optimization and game theory for physical layer security
Security and privacy in Internet of Things
Mobile and wireless network security
Security and quantum communications
Trust, security and privacy in e-government, e-systems & social networking
Trust, security and privacy in cloud computing
Secrecy coding and decoding
**Submission Guidelines**
Authors are invited to submit original papers of up to 6 pages including figures, tables, and references, in PDF format. Electronic submission is accepted through EDAS using the link: (http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=14929) . Accepted papers must be registered before the registration deadline and must be presented at the GLOBECOM 2013 Workshop on Trusted Communications with Physical Layer Security (TCPLS). Failure to register before the deadline will result in automatic withdrawal of the paper from the workshop proceedings and the program.
