Call for Papers
5th Conference on Security and Network Architectures (SAR 2006)
Co-located with the 3rd Conference on Security in Information Systems (SSI 2006)
After the success of the four former SAR conferences, SAR 2006 will take place in Seignosse, France. SAR 2006 covers a large spectrum of area on security and network architectures. The purpose of the conference is to offer to the computer science community -- managers, engineers, researchers, teachers and students -- the opportunity to discuss advances in research and developpements in the field of network security.
The conference will enable scientists to present the last advances in the network security domain and to analyze the impact of these emerging technologies on this domain. Part of the conference is devoted to tutorials in advanced fields of security in order to encourage interactions and exchanges between participants.
Papers offering novel research contributions in any aspect of computer security or electronic privacy are solicited for submission to the 2006 symposium. Papers may represent advances in the theory, design, implementation, analysis, or empirical evaluation of secure systems, either for general use or for specific application domains.
This Year: SAR 2006 is open to submissions not only of full-length papers but also short papers (extended abstracts) describing less mature work. See below for details.
Authors are invited to submit research papers, papers presenting an experience or an industrial application or tutorials in the following topics of interest:
| Topics | |
| Security of new network architectures (e.g. VoIP, MAN/WAN, Gigaethernet) | Security in wireless networks |
| Security in adhoc networks | Virtual private network (VPN IPsec, SSL, MPLS, etc.) |
| Security in backbone networks (routing, management) | XML Security |
| Security planning and administration | IPv6, MPLS and their impacts on security and network architectures |
| Denial of service | Intrusion detection, honeypots |
| Security in peer-to-peer systems | Firewalls (proxy) |
| Security in embeded networks | E-commerce security |
| Applied cryptography | Authentication, access control and authorisation |
| Security protocols | Metrology or security measurement |
| Multicast security | Public Key Infrastructures (PKI), trust management |
| Methodology, ethics, legislation, regulation | Certification, protection profiles, security policies, verification and formal techniques |
| Reliability of infrastructures | Web Services and Security |
| Biometry, watermarking | Anonymity and privacy |

Please submit papers via e-mail at sar2006@rennes.enst-bretagne.fr. Submissions will be acknowledged. Some papers will be selected for publication in a special issue of the ``Annales des Telecommunications'' journal. For any questions, contact the program chairs at sar2006@rennes.enst-bretagne.fr
Important Dates
- Paper submissions due :January 30, 2006
- Acceptance notification :March 21, 2006
- Final papers due :April 10, 2006
- Early bird registration :April 29, 2006
Extended abstracts
This year the symposium is open to submission of short papers in addition to regular full-length papers. The intent behind these extended abstracts is to expand the program to include less mature work, and therefore the novelty and longer-term promise of such submissions will weigh more heavily in the reviewing process than their degree of high polish. Extended abstracts accepted for the program will appear in the proceedings (in short form - not expanded to full papers - and with ``Extended Abstract'' in the title) and be presented orally during the symposium (in suitably shorter speaking slots) as a regular part of the program. Extended abstract submissions must not exceed 6 pages for the main text (other than bibliography and appendices).
Panel proposals
The conference may include panel sessions addressing topics of interest to the computer security community. Proposals for panels should include possible panelists and an indication of which of those panelists have confirmed participation. Please submit panel proposals by email to sar2006@rennes.enst-bretagne.fr.
