CFP: ISOC Symposium on Network and Distributed System Security



				   
			   CALL FOR PAPERS
		  The Internet Society Symposium on
	       Network and Distributed System Security
				   
			 February 22-23, 1996
	   San Diego Princess Resort, San Diego, California

GOAL: The symposium will bring together people who are building hardware
and software to provide network and distributed system security services.
The symposium is intended for those interested in the practical aspects of
network and distributed system security, focusing on actual system design
and implementation, rather than theory.  We hope to foster the exchange of
technical information that will encourage and enable the Internet community
to apply, deploy, and advance the state of available security technology.
Symposium proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.
Topics for the symposium include, but are not limited to, the following:

*  Design and implementation of communication security services:
   authentication, integrity, confidentiality, authorization, 
   non-repudiation, and availability.

*  Design and implementation of security mechanisms, services, and
   APIs to support communication security services, key management
   and certification infrastructures, audit, and intrusion detection.

*  Requirements and designs for securing network information resources
   and tools -- WorldWide Web (WWW), Gopher, archie, and WAIS.

*  Requirements and designs for systems supporting electronic commerce --
   payment services, fee-for-access, EDI, notary -- endorsement,
   licensing, bonding, and other forms of assurance.

*  Design and implementation of measures for controlling network
   communication -- firewalls, packet filters, application gateways, and
   user/host authentication schemes.

*  Requirements and designs for telecommunications security especially
   for emerging technologies -- very large systems like the Internet,
   high-speed systems like the gigabit testbeds, wireless systems, and
   personal communication systems. 

*  Special issues and problems in security architecture, such as
   interplay between security goals and other goals -- efficiency,
   reliability, interoperability, resource sharing, and cost.

*  Integration of security services with system and application security
   facilities, and application protocols -- including but not limited to 
   message handling, file transport, remote file access, directories, time
   synchronization, data base management, routing, voice and video
   multicast, network management, boot services, and mobile computing.

SUBMISSIONS: The committee invites technical papers and panel proposals
for topics of technical and general interest.  Technical papers should
be 10-20 pages in length.  Panel proposals should be two pages and
should describe the topic, identify the panel chair, explain the format
of the panel, and list three to four potential panelists.  Technical
papers will appear in the proceedings.  A description of each panel will
appear in the proceedings, and may at the discretion of the panel chair,
include written position statements from each panelist. 

Each submission must contain a separate title page with the type of
submission (paper or panel), the title or topic, the names of the
author(s), organizational affiliation(s), telephone and FAX numbers,
postal addresses, Internet electronic mail addresses, and must list a
single point of contact if more than one author.  The names of authors,
affiliations, and other identifying information should appear only on
the separate title page. 

        Deadline for paper submission:      August 14, 1995
        Notification sent to authors by:    October 16, 1995
        Deadline for camera-ready copy:     November 13, 1995

Submissions must be received by 14 August 1995.  Submissions should be
made via electronic mail.  Submissions may be in either of two formats:
PostScript or ASCII.  If the committee is unable to print a PostScript
submission, it will be returned and hardcopy requested.  Therefore,
PostScript submissions should arrive well before 14 August.  If
electronic submission is difficult, submissions should be sent via
postal mail. 

All submissions and program related correspondence (only) should be
directed to the program chair:
