CANS 2009

The 8th International Conference on              CRYPTOLOGY AND NETWORK SECURITY (CANS 2009)

12 - 14 December 2009 Kanazawa, Ishikawa, Japan Web Page: http://www.rcis.aist.go.jp/cans2009/ Contact: cans2009-info@m.aist.go.jp

[Overview] The main goal of this conference is to promote research on all aspects of network security, as well as to build a bridge between research on cryptography and on network security. We therefore welcome scientific and academic papers with this focus. Previous CANS have been held in Taipei (2001), San Francisco (2002), Miami (2003), Xiamen (2005), Suzhou (2006), Singapore (2007), and Hong Kong (2008).

[Topics] Areas of interest for CANS 2009 include, but are not limited to: - Ad Hoc and Sensor Network Security - Access Control for Networks - Anonymity and Pseudonymity - Authentication Services - Cryptographic Protocols and Schemes - Denial of Service Protection - Digital Rights Management - Fast Cryptographic Algorithms - Identity and Trust Management - Information Hiding and Watermarking - Internet and Router Security - Intrusion Detection and Prevention - Mobile and Wireless Network Security - Multicast Security - Phishing and Online Fraud Prevention - Peer-to-Peer Network Security - PKI - Security Modeling and Architectures - Secure Protocols (SSH, SSL, ...) and Applications - Spam Protection - Spyware Analysis and Detection - Virtual Private Networks

[Instructions for Authors] Papers on cryptology and network security are welcome. Papers that make a substantial link between these areas will be given priority. Authors of such papers are encouraged to elaborate on the relevant connection in a subsection of the introduction. High-quality papers on pure cryptology or pure network security may also be  accepted.

Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere or has submitted in parallel for consideration of any other conference or workshop with proceedings. Submissions should have at most 12 pages excluding the bibliography and appendices, and at most 20 pages in total, using at least 11-point fonts and with reasonable margins. The total length of the final versions for Springer's LNCS will be at most 20 pages. Committee members are not required to read appendices; the paper should be intelligible without them. All submissions should be  anonymous. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that at least one of the authors will attend the conference and present their paper.

Submitted papers should follow the formatting instructions of the Springer LNCS Style. Please check the Information for LNCS Authors page at Springer at http://www.springer.com/lncs for style and formatting guidelines. Submissions not meeting the submission guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

[Proceedings] The conference proceedings are expected to be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series by Springer Verlag (http://www.springer.com/lncs), and be available at the conference.

[Important Dates] Submission Deadline   : 1 June 2009 (23:59:59 GMT) Acceptance Notification: 12 August 2009 Camera-ready Copy Due : 4 September 2009 Conference            : 12 - 14 December 2009

[Best Paper Award] The Program Committee will consider giving a Best Paper Award to  the submission with highest merits. (Details to be announced.)
