• Intellectual property protection: protocols, implementations, metering, watermarking, digital rights management
• Integrating security services with system and application security facilities and protocols
• Public key infrastructures, key management, certification, and revocation
• Special problems and case studies: e.g., tradeoffs between security and efficiency, usability, reliability and cost
• Security for collaborative applications: teleconferencing and video-conferencing
• Software hardening: e.g., detecting and defending against software bugs (overflows, etc.)

• Integrating security in Internet protocols: routing, naming, network management

BEST PAPER AWARD

---

A number of best papers will be selected and given awards at the conference. These papers will also be considered for publication in GSTF International Journal on Computing (JoC) and other international refereed Journals.

In order to qualify for the award, at least one of the authors will need to present at the conference.

SUBMITTING YOUR PAPERS

---

Prospective authors are invited to submit original papers (not being considered for publication elsewhere) in the IEEE Computer Society standard format (double column, single-spaced, 10-pt font) describing new theoretical and/or experimental research. Submissions are recommended to have no more than 6 pages (extra pages are subject to surcharge), including figures, tables, and references. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, correctness, and presentation.

NOTES FOR AUTHORS

---

All submitted papers will be sent to reviewers for a blind review. The reviewers use the following in evaluating research papers:

1. Novel Contribution
2. Originality in Thought
3. Inferences
4. Key Strengths
5. Key Weaknesses
6. Areas of Improvement
7. Presentation/Organization of Research

SUBMIT EXTENDED ABSTRACTS

---

An EA is an 2-4 page research article summarizing the key ideas and key results of your work. There are two options in submitting an EA:

1. Submit EA alone, in which case the EA alone will be published in the conference proceedings if accepted.
2. Submit EA as a preliminary version of your full paper, in which case you may get confirmation/review comments from the committee and can then proceed to consolidating the EA into a full paper for submission.

Option 2 grants the full paper much higher chance to be accepted into the conference proceedings and hence is strongly recommended.
