CALL FOR PAPERS Security in Distributed Computing
Special Track of Twenty-second Annual ACM SIGACT-SIGOPS Symposium on PRINCIPLES OF DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS 13-16 July 2003 Boston, Massachusetts http://www.podc.org/podc2003/ Submission deadline January 31, 2003 Acceptance notification April 2, 2003 Camera-ready copy due April 22, 2003 How to submit: Electronic submissions are encouraged; information on how to to submit electronically will be available by November 2002 at http://www.podc.org/podc2003/cfp.html. Authors unable to submit electronically should contact the program chair, Sergio Rajsbaum, by email, [EMAIL PROTECTED], to receive instructions. Security and Distributed Computing are highly related. The goal of the Security in Distributed Computing special track of PODC is to increase cooperation and interactions between the distributed computing community and the security and cryptography communities, and to provide a forum for original research related to security in distributed computing and systems. In addition to regular presentations and brief announcements, we will have three stimulating key note lectures reviewing important, challenging and controversial issues in security and distributed computing, by: Ross Anderson, U. of Cambridge Butler Lampson, Microsoft Silvio Micali, MIT The special track is an integral part of PODC; see http://www.podc.org/podc2003/ for additional information. SCOPE of the Security Track: We are soliciting research contributions on the design, specification, implementation, application and theory of secure distributed computing. We welcome submissions on any topic in the intersection of security and distributed computing, including but not limited to: - Secure multiparty and two-party computations - Secret sharing and verifiable secret sharing - Resiliency to corruptions: distributed, forward and proactive security - Security, privacy and anonymity in the Internet and in mobile communication systems - Secure/security protocols and distributed algorithms - Secure multicast and broadcast - Denial of service (clogging) and its prevention - Non-repudiation, certification and timestamping protocols - Distribution of intellectual property and its (copyright) protection - Secure distributed marketplaces, auctions, and gambling - Cryptographic protocols, including: authentication, key management, etc. - Secure electronic commerce, banking and payment protocols - Security for Peer to Peer computing - Secure bandwidth reservation and QOS - Distributed access control and trust management - Secure mobile agents and mobile code - Security for Storage Area Networks Conference presentations will have two formats: Regular presentations of approximately 25 minutes accompanied by papers of up to 10 pages in the proceedings. This format is intended for contributions reporting on original research, submitted exclusively to this conference. Brief announcements of approximately 10 minutes accompanied by one page abstracts in the proceedings. This format is a forum for brief communications, which may be published in other conferences. Links to longer versions expanding the brief announcements will be collected at a web site. SUBMISSIONS FORMAT: All electronic submissions must be in postscript or PDF and capable of being previewed by ghostview. The cover page should include (1) title, (2) authors and affiliations, (3) postal and e-mail address of the contact author, (4) a brief abstract describing the work, (5) at the bottom of the brief abstract, in boldface, an indication of non-student or student status, and (6) an indication if this is a regular presentation or brief announcement. It is recommended that each submission begin with a succinct statement of the problem, summary of the main results, and a brief explanation of their significance, all suitable for a non-specialist. Technical development of the work, directed to the specialist, should follow. A submission for the regular presentation format should be no longer than 4,500 words (10 pages on letter-size paper using at least 11-point font). Additional necessary details may be included in a clearly marked appendix that will be read at the discretion of the program committee. A submission for the brief announcement format should be no longer than 3 pages pages on letter-size paper using at least 11-point font. Authors of accepted brief announcements will have the option of placing a link to a full version of their work on the conference web site. If requested by the authors, an extended abstract that is not selected for a regular presentation will also be considered for the brief-announcement format. Such a request will not affect consideration of the paper for a regular presentation. Extended abstracts deviating significantly from these guidelines will be rejected without consideration of their merits. Late papers will not be read or considered. BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD: A prize will be given to the best student paper. A paper is eligible if at least one author is a full-time student at the time of submission. This must be noted on the cover page. The program committee may decline to make the award or split it. Program Committee: Marcos Aguilera HP Labs Lorenzo Alvisi U. Texas Austin James Aspnes Yale U.
