Analysis of network and security protocols

Intrusion detection and prevention

Anonymity and censorship-resistant technologies

Malware analysis

Applications of cryptographic techniques

Mobile/wireless/cellular system security

Authentication and authorization

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

WISA will be looking for original research that has not been published before. Authors are invited to submit original papers, and must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors have published elsewhere or have submitted in parallel to journals or any other conferences that have proceedings. (A few selected papers will be recommended to SCIE journals). In addition, WISA will be accepting papers that report about experiences and recent enhancements of the prior works that had been published at a top security conference venue. In the latter case, the paper is expected to contain new materials more than 30% beyond the prior works.

The submission must be anonymous with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgement, nor obvious references included in the paper.

 

The paper should be prepared according to the “Authors Instruction for LNCS”

(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) and limited to at most 12 pages in total.  The paper submission is accepted only as PDF or Word formats.
