| Description |
Mobile Wireless Communications enable the exchange of information in a real, or near real-time manner, without the constraint of a fixed point of access. Reliable and secure communications combined with constant and universal network availability, are key elements for the successful commercialization of the applications that utilize the wireless technology. However, new security challenges emerge due to the dynamic network topology, the open nature of the wireless medium, the resource constraints of the mobile devices and, possibly, the lack of a pre-deployed infrastructure. The workshop on Security for Mobile Wireless Communication (SeMIC), held in conjunction with COMSWARE 2008, seeks submissions from the academia and industry, that present novel approaches on addressing security issues for mobile wireless communications.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Authentication and access control
* Secure MAC/PHY protocols for mobile networks
* Cooperation, fairness and incentive -based security
* Key management for wireless/mobile environments
* Trust establishment
* Intrusion detection in mobile networks
* Accountability for malicious behavior and resource misuse
* Revocation of malicious parties
* Secure location services
* Privacy, anonymity and prevention of traffic analysis
* Security in cognitive radios
* Security in vehicular networks
* Anti-Jamming techniques, and DoS Countermeasures
* Vulnerability modeling and threat analysis
* Security & privacy in RFID systems
* Secure routing
Paper submission instructions
=============================
Submission of papers based on work-in-progress is encouraged. Submitted papers must not be previously published elsewhere or currently under review for any other publication. Please direct any questions regarding the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs.
All submissions are limited to 6 PAGES in fonts no smaller than 10pt, and must be in standard IEEE double-column format. Each submission should start with the title, abstract, and names and contact information of authors. The introduction should give background and summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader.
All paper submissions will be handled electronically via the COCUS system. Authors should prepare a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of their paper.
