******************* Call for Papers *******************

The 5th INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON INTERNET COMMUNICATIONS SECURITY WICS'07 (http://aspects.uc3m.es/wics07)

(in conjuction with DEXA 2007 Conference)

Due to numerous requests, the extended deadline for submission of papers is now March 15, 2007. Also, authors of best papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their papers for inclusion in special issues of CS journals.

Overview -------- With the advent of Web and its increasing dominant force in industry and commerce, the Internet has become not only a communications means, but also a key tool for businesses, research and social development. Nowadays it is possible for us to file our tax report, buy books and CD's from a vendor in another continent and even download multimedia content to out TV, thanks to the use of those information networks. However, the more information is being transmitted, the more probable is that we are interested in providing that communication with some type of security (let it be confidentiality, authenticity, non-repudiation, etc...) Furthermore, with the emergence of new technologies and devices that are capable of getting access to the Internet, we are also looking for solutions that allow these devices to secure the information they transmit in a similar way that it is done with personal computers.

The 2007 International Workshop on Internet Communications Security reaches its fifth edition and it will run in conjunction with the International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications (DEXA 2007).

Scope ----- Original research papers on all technical aspects of Internet security are solicited for submission to WICS 07. Topics of relevance include but are not limited to:

Authentication and authorization Intrusion detection and response Biometrics Key management Computer Forensics Mobile communications security Cryptography and its applications Network security Security Interoperability E-Commerce security Non repudiation Information Assurance Security protocols Intellectual property protection Security for emerging technologies Security in new generation technologies for the Internet: VoIP, contact-less smartcards, RFID, ...

Author Instructions ------------------- * The camera ready papers are limited to 5 (five) pages in IEEE format (two columns in A4). * IEEE will send the "Author Kit" (formatting instructions etc.) to all corresponding authors and organisers in the first week of May 2007. * After the conference, authors of best papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their papers for inclusion in special issues of CS journals. * Prospective authors will send the full papers to wics07@gmail.com before March, 15th.
