Australasian Information Security Workshop 2006 (Network Security)

                              AISW-NetSec2006

    In conjunction with Australasian Computer Science Week, University of
               Tasmania, January 16-19, 2006 Hobart, Tasmania

   The  proliferation  of  new  networking technologies and protocols has
   intensified concerns about confidentiality and authenticity of data. The
   emerging areas of ubiquitous services, peer-to-peer networks, wireless
   networking,  and  mobile  ad hoc networks present challenging security
   problems. Providing security guarantees in these highly vulnerable and
   dynamic environments requires a combination of traditional techniques with
   new approaches.

   AISW-NetSec  is  a one-day workshop to be held in conjunction with the
   Australasian Computer Science Conference, as part of Australasian Computer
   Science Week in Hobart, Tasmania, 16-19 January 2006.  The purpose of the
   workshop is to promote further research interests and activities on network
   security. It is also aimed at increasing the synergy between academic and
   industrial researchers working in this area.

   We are interested in experimental, systems-related, and work-in-progress
   papers in all aspects of network security. The topics of interest include
   (but are not limited to):

-         Wireless Network Security                                     -
Secure Routing

-         Security of Sensor and Mobile                                - Denial

   Instruction for Authors 
   Authors are invited to submit original papers: they must not substantially
   duplicate work that any of the authors have published elsewhere or have
   submitted in parallel to any other conferences that have proceedings. The
   submission  must  be  anonymous,  with  no author names, affiliations,
   acknowledgements, or obvious references.


   Original contributions up to 10 pages in length are invited.
