SIXTH WORKSHOP IN INFORMATION SECURITY THEORY AND PRACTICE (WISTP 2012)
Security and Trust in Computing Systems and Ambient Intelligence Ecosystem
June 19-22, 2012, London, UK - http://www.wistp.org/

WISTP 2012 BACKGROUND AND GOALS
Future ICT technologies, like the concepts of Ambient Intelligence and 
Internet of Things provide a vision of the Information Society where 
the emphasis is on surrounding people by intelligent interactive 
interfaces and objects and on environments that are capable of 
recognising and reacting to the presence of different individuals 
in a seamless, unobtrusive and invisible manner. 
The success of future ICT technologies, some of which are set as 
priorities by the European Union, will depend on how secure they 
will be made, how privacy and individuals' rights will be protected 
and how individuals will come to trust the intelligent world that 
will surround them and through which they will move. 
WISTP 2012 aims to address the security and privacy issues that are 
increasingly exposed by mobile and wireless communications and related 
services, along with evaluating their impact on business, 
individuals, and the society.

The workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting 
novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of security 
and privacy of mobile and smart devices, as well as experimental studies 
of fielded systems based on wireless communication, the application 
of security technology, the implementation of systems, and lessons learned. 
We encourage submissions from other communities such as law, 
business and policy that present these communities' perspectives on 
technological issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 

* Security, Privacy and Trust in the Internet of Things
* Security and Trustworthiness in mobile and wireless networks
  including Mobile ad hoc networks, RFID systems, 
  Wireless sensor networks and Vehicular networks  
* Security, Privacy and Trust in Smart Environments
* Security, Privacy and Trust in Social Networks and Social Worlds
* Trustworthy life-logging
* Security, Privacy and Trust in e-Government and Mobile Commerce
  including Biometrics and national ID cards 
* Human behaviour and psychological aspects of security
  including User centric security and privacy
* Lightweight cryptography
* Privacy enhancing technologies (PETs)
* Mobile code security
* Mobile devices security
* Smart card security
* Embedded systems security
* Security models and architectures
  including Security and privacy policies, 
  Authentication and Access Control, and Security protocols

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Submissions must not substantially overlap with papers that have been 
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or 
conference/workshop with proceedings. Each submission should be 
at most 16 pages in total in the Springer's LNCS format 
(http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0). 
All submissions should be anonymous (i.e., no author names/affiliations 
and obvious citations). Submissions are to be made to the submission 
web site (http://www.wistp.org/submission-details/). 
Only PDF files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines 
risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Accepted papers 
will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science 
series (http://www.springeronline.com/lncs), and the proceedings will be 
available at the workshop. The camera-ready version of the accepted papers 
must follow Springer guidelines (a Latex source file will be required). 

If a submitted paper is mainly the work of a student author, this paper 
is eligible for the best student paper award. To participate in this 
selection process, please add the word "STUDENT" in the affiliation 
field in the submission form.

Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be 
presented at the workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper 
is required to register with the workshop and present the paper.
