2nd Cybercrime and Trustworthy Computing Workshop (CTC-2010)
Organizers:
Prof Josef Pieprzyk, Macquarie University and A/Prof Paul A. Watters, University of Ballarat.
Following on from the first workshop in Brisbane in 2009, CTC-2010 will be held from 19-20th July, 2010, at the Greenhill Enterprise Centre at the University of Ballarat, and will be hosted by the Internet Commerce Security Laboratory (ICSL).
Objectives
Cybercrime continues to be a growth industry, assisted by a combination of technical factors, such as insecure hardware and software platforms, and psychological factors, such as user error or naivety. The objective of this workshop is to bring together two distinct groups to encourage further collaboration - those who are working on researching cybercrime activity, such as phishing and malware, and those who are working on technical countermeasures.
The scope of the workshop is reasonably narrow, to ensure a complementary match between capability and need. Papers should either be empirically or rationally based explorations of problems in cybercrime, or propose solutions and/or countermeasures to the most pressing cybercrimes.
Example topic areas on the cybercrime theme might include:
* Phishing, SPAM
* Malware, Botnets
* Scams, including advance fee fraud, romance scams etc
* Forensic means to classify e-mail messages or web pages soliciting cybercrime or providing a vector for attack
* Forensic means to cluster and identify different groups or modus operandi arising from distinct "kits"
For the countermeasures side, topic areas might include:
* Anti-phishing
* Anti-virus
* Anti-rootkit
* Anti-botnet
* User education and/or psychological operations
A major theme of the event will be to plan future research interactions and relationships between industry and academia.
Submission
All submissions are to be made using the Easychair system. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and present their work at the conference, otherwise the paper will not be included in the proceedings. The workshop proceedings will be published by IEEE (EI indexed). Selected papers, after extension and further revisions, will be published in a special issue of a prestigious journal. Papers should be written using the IEEE CS style, with up to 12 pages. All papers should be submitted for double-blind review, ie, no contact or author details should appear on the submitted paper.
Dates:
* Paper Submission Deadline: 20 April 2009
* Paper Status Notification: 20 May 2009
* Papers Due in PDF Format: 18 June 2009
* Workshop: 19-20 July 2009
