SECURE

10-12 May 2010 | Barcelona, Spain

SCOPE:

It is widely argued that the increased requirements on ubiquitous and wireless network access led us into the era of wireless communications and smart devices. The number of mobile phones and wireless devices has superseded that of wired ones. Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) are routinely used by millions of mobile users while WLAN technology is the communication medium for millions of nomadic users. Wireless communications and smart devices provide many benefits such as mobility, portability and flexibility, increased productivity, and lower installation and maintenance costs.

As the technologies of next generation wireless networks, usually referred as the Future Internet, are emerging, security has become a primary concern, in order to provide dependable and secure communications and services to the end users holding different smart devices, over heterogeneous wireless networks. The Future Internet faces many unique challenges in security and resilience such as open network architecture, shared wireless medium, limited resource constraints, highly dynamic network topology, demanding user requirements such as seamless mobility between different networks.

This special session in security and resilience of the Future Internet will present current research focusing on security related protocols and applications, secure architectures and frameworks, new theories and methodologies for secure next generation wireless networks and respective smart devices.

Areas of interest for this special session include (but not limited) the following topics:

Security and Resilience of:

• Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
• Wireless mesh Networks
• Wireless Sensor Networks
• Delay-Tolerant Networks
• 3G/4G Mobile Cellular Networks
• Critical Next Generation Infrastructures
• Wireless Intelligent Defence Systems

Other topics of interest include:

• Viruses, Worms, and Other Malicious Code in the Future Internet
• Future Internet Forensics
• Access Control and Trust Management in Future Internet
• Identity Management and Authentication in Wireless Networks
• Key Management in Wireless Networks
• Intrusion Detection Systems in the Future Internet
• Mobile Devices Security
• New Applications for Secure and Resilient RFID Systems
• RFID Security and Privacy
• Smart Card Security - Smart Devices Applications
