CALL FOR PAPERS
The Internet Society Symposium on
Network and Distributed System Security
16-17 February 1995, Catamaran Hotel, San Diego, California
GOAL: The symposium will bring together people who are building
software and/or hardware to provide network and distributed system
security services. The symposium is intended for those interested in
the more practical aspects of network and distributed system security,
focusing on actual system design and implementation, rather than in
theory. We hope to foster the exchange of technical information that
will encourage and enable the Internet community to apply, deploy and
advance the state of the available security technology. Symposium
proceedings will be published by the Internet Society. Topics for the
symposium include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Design and implementation of security services -- access control,
authentication, availability, confidentiality, integrity, and
non-repudiation.
* Design and implementation of security mechanisms and support
services -- encipherment, authentication, and key management
systems, including fair cryptography -- access control,
authorization and audit systems -- and intrusion detection systems.
* Requirements and designs for securing distributed applications
and network functions -- message handling, file transport, remote
file access, directories, time synchronization, interactive
sessions, remote data base management and access, routing, voice and
video multicast and conferencing, news groups, network management,
boot services, mobile computing, and remote I/O.
* Requirements and designs for securing networked information
resources and tools -- Archie servers, the Wide Area Information
Servers (WAIS), the Internet Gopher, and the WorldWide Web (WWW).
* Design and implementation of measures for controlling internetwork
communication and services in a coherent manner -- firewalls, packet
filters, application gateways, and user/host authentication
schemes.
* Requirements and designs for telecommunications security especially
for emerging technologies -- very large systems like the
international Internet, high-speed systems like the gigabit
testbeds, wireless systems, and personal communication systems.
* Special issues and problems in security architecture, such as
interplay between security goals and other goals -- efficiency,
reliability, interoperability, resource sharing, and cost.

SUBMISSIONS: The committee invites both technical papers and
proposals for panel discussions on technical and other topics of
general interest. Technical papers should be 10-20 pages in length.
Panel proposals should be two pages in length, and should describe the
panel topic, name the panel chair, explain the format of the panel, and
list three to four potential panelists. The technical papers will
appear in the proceedings. Panel chairs and panelists will have the
option of having written statements appear in the proceedings.
All submissions should contain a separate title page which includes 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 the
point of contact, if more than one author. Since the review process
will be anonymous, the author's names, affiliations and other
information should appear only on the separate title page.
Deadline for paper submission: August 15, 1994
Notification sent to authors by: October 17, 1994
Deadline for camera-ready copy: November 15, 1994
Submissions must be made by 15 August 1994. Submissions should be made
via electronic mail. Submissions may be in either of two formats:
PostScript or ASCII. If the committee is unable to print a PostScript
submission, it will be returned and ASCII requested. Therefore,
PostScript submissions should arrive well before 15 August. If
electronic submission is absolutely impossible, submissions should be
sent via postal mail.
All submissions and other correspondence should be directed to the
Program Co-Chair:
David M. Balenson

Phone: 301-854-6889
FAX: 301-854-5363
Email: balenson(_at_)tis(_dot_)com
Each submission will be acknowledged through the medium by which it is
received. If acknowledgment is not received within seven days, please
contact the Program Co-Chair as indicated above. Authors and panelists
will be notified of acceptance by 17 October 1994. Instructions for
preparing camera-ready copy for the proceedings will be postal mailed
at that time. The camera-ready copy must be received by 15 November
1994.
