SCOPE:

The 4th workshop on Secure Network Protocols (NPSec) is a one-day event held in conjunction with ICNP 2008. NPSec focuses on two general areas. The first focus is on the development and analysis of secure or hardened protocols for the operation (establishment and maintenance) of network infrastructure, including such targets as secure multidomain, ad hoc, sensor or overlay networks, or other related target areas. This can include new protocols, enhancements to existing protocols, protocol analysis, and new attacks on existing protocols. The second focus is on employing such secure network protocols to create or enhance network applications. Examples include collaborative firewalls, incentive strategies for multiparty networks, and deployment strategies to enable secure applications.

NPSec 2008 particularly welcomes new ideas on security in the context of future Internet design, such as architectural considerations for future Internet security and new primitives for supporting secure network protocol and application design.

TOPICS OF INTEREST:

• secure and/or resilient network protocols, e.g.:
  - internetworking/routing
  - MANETs
  - LANs and WLANs
  - mobile/cellular data networks
  - p2p and other overlay networks
  - federated trust systems
  - sensor networks
  
• vulnerabilities of existing protocols and applications (both theoretical and case studies), including attacks
• key distribution/management
• intrusion detection and response
• incentive systems for p2p systems and MANETs routing
• secure protocol configuration and deployment
