IEEE ICC 2011

Scope and Motivation
--------------------
With the advent of pervasive computer applications and due to the proliferation of heterogeneous wired and wireless computer and communication networks, security, privacy and trust issues have become paramount. This Symposium will address all aspects of the modeling, design, implementation, deployment, and management of security algorithms, protocols, architectures, and systems. Furthermore, contributions devoted to the evaluation, optimization, or enhancement of security and privacy mechanisms for current technologies, as well as devising efficient security and privacy solutions for emerging areas from physical layer technology to the application layer, are solicited.

Main Topics of Interest
-----------------------
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Authentication protocols and message authentication
- Biometric security: technologies, risks, vulnerabilities, bio-cryptography, mobile template protection
- Computer and network forensics
- Cryptanalysis
- DDOS attacks, DNS spoofing, intrusion, localization and countermeasures
- Digital right management: information hiding, watermarking, fingerprinting, and traitor tracing scheme
- Formal trust models, security modeling and protocol design
- Information systems security and security management
- Mobile and Wireless network security, including ad hoc networks, P2P networks, 3G, 4G, sensor networks, Bluetooth, 802.11 family and WiMAX
- Network security metrics and performance
