FW: EUNICE 2005
by Raouf Boutaba 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

Attached is a request for IFIP sponsorship of a European summer school. The request came to WG6.6 although it seems that this event has been sponsored by IFIP in the past. Before, considering WG6.6 co-sponsorship for this event which seems a viable option, I would like to run it for background check within, and possibly interest from, TC6/WGX.Xs.

Event fees 2004
by Otto Spaniol 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

Dear all, please check (see below). Best regards Otto ************************************************************* To all TC Chairs During the Council meeting of IFIP which took place last week in Korea, it was reported that several TCs still have event fees from 2004 events outstanding. Can I please request you to check with all your WG organizers whether they are aware of any such outstanding fees. There is a full list available from Eduard if you want to request it. I did not want to include it in this message. I will come back to you from time to time on some other issues resulting from the meeting.

Event Request Forms
by Otto Spaniol 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

To all delegates, in particular to WG chairpersons, very often the organisors don't fill the event request form (ERF). A new form - based on the TC6 proposal - is available from the IFIP secretary. If there is no ERF then the event is not in the IFIP database and no financial things (such as best paper wards, turorial speakers cost etc.) can be handled. The ERF has to be signed by the organisors, the responsible WG chair(s) and by me. Please ensure by all means that ERF are not forgotten! We have just have a problem with that coincerning INTELLCOMM´04 where the student grants have not yet been paid due to the missing ERF. I'm not willing to control in any case whether the form is here or not; this is the task of organisor + WG chair(s). Best wishes Otto

ARSPA'05: Workshop on Automated Reasoning for Security Protocol Analysis (NEW: ENTCS publication of proceedings)
by lvigano＠inf.ethz.ch 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

******************************** *** NEW: PROCEEDINGS TO BE *** *** PUBLISHED IN ENTCS *** ******************************** ARSPA'05 The Second Workshop on Automated Reasoning for Security Protocol Analysis co-located with ICALP'05 Lisboa, Portugal July 16, 2005 http://www.avispa-project.org/arspa *********************** *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** *********************** Submission deadline: April 15, 2005 BACKGROUND, AIM AND SCOPE ========================= Experience over the last twenty years has shown that, even assuming perfect cryptography, the design of security protocols (or cryptographic protocols, as they are sometimes called) is highly error-prone and that conventional validation techniques based on informal arguments and/or testing are not up to the task. It is now widely recognized that only formal analysis can provide the level of assurance required by both the developers and the users of the protocols. Work in this direction initially started in the security community but recently there has been a tremendous progress thanks to contributions from different automated reasoning communities, such as model checking, resolution, planning, rewriting/narrowing, and higher-order theorem proving. There has been another wave of progress due to research in applying non-classical logics, such as epistemic and belief logics, to analyze protocols and their properties. Moreover, a third stream includes static methods, among which those based on abstract interpretation, data and control flow analysis, and type systems proved to be particularly successful. Finally, bisimulations and related techniques have also been applied successfully. Based on this progress, a large number of formal methods and tools have been developed that have been quite successful in determining strengths and weaknesses of many protocols, i.e. in proving the correctness of the protocols or in identifying attacks on them. The ARSPA workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from both the security and the formal methods communities, from academia and industry, who are working on developing and applying automated reasoning techniques and tools for the formal specification and analysis of security protocols. Contributions are welcomed on the following topics or related ones: - Automated analysis and verification of security protocols. - Languages, logics and calculi for the design and specification of security protocols. - Verification methods: accuracy, efficiency. - Decidability and complexity of cryptographic verification problems. - Synthesis and composition of security protocols. - Integration of formal security specification, refinement and validation techniques in development methods and tools. The workshop will provide a forum for all researchers and practitioners who are interested in this area to share their ideas and report their results. We thus solicit submissions of papers both on mature work and on work in progress. All submissions will be peer-reviewed. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop. AUDIENCE ======== The workshop will be held on Saturday, July 16, 2005, and will be open to all interested persons. INVITED TALKS ============= The technical program will include presentations of the accepted papers, and one or two invited talks. PROGRAM COMMITTEE ================= - Alessandro Armando (Universita` di Genova, Italy) - David Basin (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) - Jorge Cuellar (SIEMENS AG, Munich, Germany) - Pierpaolo Degano (Universita` di Pisa, Italy; co-chair) - Joshua Guttman (The MITRE Corporation, USA) - Roberto Gorrieri (Universita` di Bologna, Italy) - Sjouke Mauw (University of Eindhoven, The Netherlands) - Hanne Riis Nielson (Technical University of Denmark) - Michael Rusinowitch (INRIA-LORRAINE, Nancy, France) - Luca Vigano` (ETH Zurich, Switzerland; co-chair) SUBMISSION ========== Submissions should be at most 15 pages (a4paper, 11pt) and the cover page should include title, names of authors, and the co-ordinates of the corresponding author. Authors are invited to submit their papers electronically, as portable document format (pdf) or postscript (ps), by the deadline of April 15, 2005. The only mechanism for paper submissions is via the electronic submission web-site, accessible via the workshop web-site. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to the authors no later than May 14, 2005. Final versions of accepted papers must be received by June 06, 2005. PUBLICATION =========== Accepted contributions will be be published in a special volume of the Electonic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science ENTCS. Informal proceedings will be available at the workshop and be published on-line on the workshop's web page at http://www.avispa-project.org/arspa We are also planning a formal post-workshop publication as a special Journal issue, with an additional reviewing process. IMPORTANT DATES =============== - Submission deadline: April 15, 2005 - Notification of acceptance: May 15, 2005 - Final versions due: June 06, 2005 - Workshop: July 16, 2005 WORKSHOP WEB-SITE ================= http://www.avispa-project.org/arspa The workshop is supported by the IST Project AVISPA (http://www.avispa-project.org) For further information on the workshop, please send an email to arspa -at- avispa-project.org

TC6 should have also a new one based on the official IFIP logo. I asked a designer student to present some proposals. She came with three ideas (see attachment). Please tell me your preference (until the end of this week). I would like to produce pins - like we did for Portugal - such that they would be ready for Networking 2005. Best regards Otto ------------------------------------- Name: I vote for: O the upper one (with the small white intersection between IFIP and TC6) X the middle one (green colour) O the lower one (blue colour) O I don't like any proposal; please present other ideas This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.

Heureka, the minutes for meeting 2004/2 in Bangkok have arrived. Three days ago but I could only open them today in a phase of extreme workload. Thanks very much to Raghavan! Best wishes Otto
