The Internet Society
1999 Network and Distributed System Security Symposium
(NDSS'99)
Where: Catamaran Resort, San Diego, California
When: February 3-5, 1999
GOAL: The symposium will foster information exchange among hardware and
software developers of network and distributed system security
services. The intended audience includes those who are interested in
the practical aspects of network and distributed system security,
focusing on actual system design and implementation, rather than
theory. A major goal of the symposium is to encourage and enable the
Internet community to apply, deploy, and advance the state of
available security technology. The proceedings of the symposium will
be published by the Internet Society.
Topics for the symposium include, but are not limited to, the
following:
* Security in malleable systems: mobile code, mobile agents, active
networks, dynamic policy updates, etc.
* Special problems: e.g. interplay between security goals and other
goals such as efficiency, usability, reliability, interoperability,
resource sharing, and cost.
* Integrating security services with system and application security
facilities and with application protocols, including message handling,
file transport, remote file access, directories, time synchronization,
data base management, routing, voice and video multicast, network
management, boot services, and mobile computing.
* Fundamental services: authentication, integrity, confidentiality,
authorization, non-repudiation, and availability.
* Supporting mechanisms and APIs: key management and certification
infrastructures, audit, and intrusion detection.
* Telecommunications security, especially for emerging technologies --
very large systems, e.g., the Internet, high-speed systems, e.g., the
gigabit testbeds, wireless systems, personal communication systems,
and large-scale, heterogeneous distributed systems.
* Controls: firewalls, packet filters, application gateways
* Object security and security objects
* Network information resources and tools such as World Wide Web (WWW),
Gopher, archie, and WAIS.
* Electronic commerce: payment services, fee-for-access, EDI, notary
services; endorsement, licensing, bonding, and other forms of
assurance; rights management and other forms of intellectual property
protection
* Implementation and management of network security policy
* Security for voice over IP
* Security for routing

SUBMISSIONS: The committee invites technical papers and panel proposals,
for topics of technical and general interest. Technical papers should
be 10-20 pages in length. Panel proposals should be two pages and
should describe the topic, identify the panel chair, explain the
format of the panel, and list three to four potential panelists.
Technical papers will appear in the proceedings. A description of
each panel will appear in the proceedings, and may at the discretion
of the panel chair, include written position statements from each
panelist.
Each submission must contain a separate title page with the type of
submission (paper or panel), the title or topic, the names of the
author(s), organizational affiliation(s), telephone and FAX numbers,
postal addresses, Internet electronic mail addresses, and must list a
single point of contact if more than one author. The names of authors,
affiliations, and other identifying information should appear only on
the separate title page.
Submissions must be received by 31 July 1998, and must be made via
electronic mail in either PostScript or ASCII format. If the
committee is unable to print a PostScript submission, it will be
returned and hardcopy requested. Therefore, PostScript submissions
must arrive well before 31 July.
All submissions and program related correspondence (only) should be
directed to the program chair:
