First IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (IEEE CNS 
2013)

*** Washington D.C., USA *** October 14 ~16, 2013 ***

******   http://www.ieee-cns.org   ******

Cyber security has become an important research and development area for 
academia, government, and industry in recent years.  As government and 
industry investment in cyber security research continues to grow, there 
will be a dramatic increase in the amount of new results generated by the 
research community, which must be disseminated widely amongst the research 
community in order to provide the peer review feedback that is needed to 
ensure that high-quality solutions that address important and emerging 
security issues are developed. 

As a leading professional society focusing on communications technologies, 
IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) has identified the need for a 
high-quality security conference that would focus on 
communications-oriented aspects of security. IEEE ComSoc has thus decided 
to launch a new conference dedicated to Communications and Network 
Security. This new conference is positioned to be a core ComSoc conference 
(at a level comparable to IEEE INFOCOM ) and will serve as a premier forum 
for cyber security researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and users to 
exchange ideas, techniques and tools, raise awareness, and share 
experience related to security and privacy.

IEEE CNS seeks original high-quality technical papers from academia, 
government, and industry. Topics of interest encompass all practical and 
theoretical aspects of communications and network security, all the way 
from the physical layer to the various network layers to the variety of 
applications reliant on a secure communication substrate. Submissions with 
main contribution in other areas, such as information security, software 
security, system security, or applied cryptography, will also be 
considered if a clear connection to secure communications/networking is 
demonstrated.
 
Particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to
+       Security and Privacy in the Internet, peer-to-peer networks, 
overlay networks 
+       Security and Privacy in Wi-Fi, Wi-Max, ad hoc, mesh, sensor, and 
RFID networks 
+       Security and Privacy in emerging technologies: social networks, 
cognitive radio networks, disruption/delay tolerant networks, vehicular 
networks, cloud computing, smart grid
+       Cross-layer methods for enhancing security
+       Information-theoretic security
+       Anonymization and privacy in communication systems
+       Traffic analysis, location privacy and obfuscation of mobile 
device information
+       Physical layer security methods: confidentiality and 
authentication
+       Secure routing, network management
+       Intrusion detection
+       Computer and network forensics 
+       Vulnerability, exploitation tools, Malware, Botnet, DDoS attacks 
+       Key management and PKI
+       Security metrics and performance evaluation, traffic analysis 
techniques 
+       Web, e-commerce, m-commerce, and e-mail security 
+       Social, economic and policy issues of trust, security and privacy
+       Ensuring the availability of communications, survivability of 
networks in the presence of denial of service
+       Jamming and jamming-resistance,
+       Multipath routing around network holes
