Dear all,
many thanks for the congratulations for my 60th birthday.
Time passes by so quickly.
Kiril was not fully correct since my birthday was already on April 11;
today is the official ceremony at the university.
And I will proudly attach to this document one of
my usually very bizarre "poems" which took a lot of
effort to produce it - and it will be my final part of the ceremony.
Let's hope that it will end well.
Warning: The "poem" is not really suitable for younger people
but the nature of the poem has dictated this version.
It could have even been less suitable for the
innocent young people but that was really too strange.
I'm nevertheless ready to discuss about such extensions
after several beers in Toronto.
Best wishes and thank you very much
Otto
Greetings!
There was meeting of the UK representatives on IFIP TCs yesterday.
At that meeting, the comment was made that some copies of the most
recent IFIP Information Bulletin has been mis-printed (much to the
embarrassment of Springer).
I had a quick look at the copy that was in the meeting.
I did not like the way some of the printing was organised but that might
be a matter of taste.
More importantly (I think) our Swiss representative is reported to be "R
Rudin".
This is not simply a printing error because that is what it say on the
IFIP web site as well!
(I assume Harry has not changed his name.)
May I suggest that everybody has a look at their copy of the Information
Bulletin and the IFIP web-site.
If you find any more errors, let me know and I will send IFIP
headquarters a consolidated list of changes.
Please respond to this by the end of April
Regards
Peter

Submission deadline: April 24, 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.
