1st International Workshop on Quality of Protection - QoP 2005

von qop-submission

===================================================================== Call for Paper for the 1st International Workshop on QUALITY of PROTECTION - QoP 2005 Security Measurements and Metrics http://dit.unitn.it/~qop/ Milano, Italy, Thu. 15 September 2005. Affiliated with 10th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security (ESORICS 2005) in Milano (12-14 Sep). http://esorics05.dti.unimi.it and the 11th IEEE International Software Metrics Symposium (METRICS 2005) in Como (19-22 Sep) http://www.swmetrics.org/metrics2005 ======================================================================= WORKSHOP OVERVIEW Information Security in Industry has matured in the last few decades. Standards such as ISO17799, the Common Criteria, a number of industrial certification and risk analysis methodologies have raised the bar on what is considered a good security solution from a business perspective. Yet, if we compare Information Security with Networking or Empirical Software Engineering we find a major difference. Networking research has introduced concepts such as Quality of Service and Service Level Agreements. Conferences and Journals are frequently devoted to performance evaluation, QoS and SLAs. Empirical Software Engineering has made similar advances. Notions such as software metrics and measurements are well established. Processes to measure the quality and reliability of software exist and are appreciated in industry. Security looks different. Even a fairly sophisticated standard such as ISO17799 has an intrinsically qualitative nature. Notions such as Security Metrics, Quality of Protection (QoP) or Protection Level Agreement (PLA) have surfaced in the literature but still have a qualitative flavour. The "QoP field" in WS-Security is just a data field to specify a cryptographic algorithm. Indeed, neither ISO17799 nor ISO15408 (the Common Criteria) addresses QoP sufficiently. ISO17799 is a management standard, not directly concerned with the actual quality of protection achieved; ISO15408 is instead a product assessment standard and yet does not answer the question of how a user of a product assessed by it can achieve a high QoP within his/her operational environment. Both standards cover just one aspect of an effective QoP and even the combination of both would not address the aspect sufficiently. "Best practice" standards, such as the baseline protection standard published by many government agencies, also belong to the category of standards that are useful, but not sufficient, for achieving a good QoP. Security is different also in another respect. A very large proportion of recorded security incidents has a non-IT cause. Hence, while the networking and software communities may concentrate on technical features (networks and software), security requires a much wider notion of "system", including users, work processes, organisational structures in addition to the IT infrastructure. The QoP Workshop intends to discuss how security research can progress towards a notion of Quality of Protection in Security comparable to the notion of Quality of Service in Networking, Software Reliability, or Software Measurements and Metrics in Empirical Software Engineering. SUBMISSION TOPICS: Original submissions are solicited from industry and academic experts to presents their work, plans and views related to Quality of Protection. The topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Industrial Experience * Security Risk Analysis * Security Quality Assurance * Measurement-based decision making and risk management * Empirical assessment of security architectures and solutions * Mining data from attacks and vulnerabilities repositories * Security metrics * Measurement theory and formal theories of security metrics * Security measurement and monitoring, * Experimental verification and validation of models, * Simulation and statistical analysis, stochastic modeling * Reliability analysis INVITED SPEAKERS - Stefano De Panfilis - Engineering SpA (IT) - TBA IMPORTANT DATES: - Fri 10 June - Paper submissions - Fri 8 July - Notification of acceptance - Mon 12 Sep - Wed 14 Sep ESORICS - Thu 15 Sep - QoP Workshop - Mon 19 Sep - Thu 22 Sep IEEE METRICS in Como PAPER SUBMISSION: Original RESEARCH PAPERS are solicited in any of the above mentioned topics. Research papers should be limited to 12 pages in the standard Springer Verlag format, describing significant research results based on sound theory or experimental assessment. We also solicit INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE REPORTS, limited to 6 pages, about the use of security measurements and metrics in industrial environments. Industry papers should have at least one author from industry or government, and will be considered for their industrial relevance.

FW: [CAnet - news] Dutch academics declare research free-for-all

von Raouf Boutaba

FYI. --raouf ------------------------------------------- [Some excerpts from original article -- BSA] http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/05/11/open_access_research/ Dutch academics declare research free-for-all Scientists from all major Dutch universities officially launched a website on Tuesday where all their research material can be accessed for free. Interested parties can get hold of a total of 47,000 digital documents from 16 institutions the Digital Academic Repositories. No other nation in the world offers such easy access to its complete academic research output in digital form, the researchers claim. Obviously, commercial publishers are not amused. DAREnet was already launched about a year ago, but for demonstration purposes only. The €2m DARE programme - a joint initiative by all the Dutch universities, the National Library of the Netherlands, the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) and the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) - harvests all digital available material from local repositories, making it fully searchable. Aside from bibliographical information, the content can be full text, or even audio and video files. The initiative is clearly not welcomed by commercial scientific publishers such as Elsevier Science. Increasingly, universities complain about the high cost of scientific journals and many argue that the research results should be distributed freely or at significantly less cost to library subscribers.

Access to Event Request Form

von Otto Spaniol

Dear all, to those of you who organise events (or want to help an organisor with the corresponding form): There is a trial to produce a new form which should be much clearer and much easier to use than the old one. A first sample of it which is based on my proposal made in Bangkok has been sent by Eduard Dundler from IFIP secretariat to Niko Schlamberger who is responsible for the renewal. Niko couldn't finalize it until now. Thus the old form is still valid. It is obtainable via: http://www.ifip.or.at/events/ifip_event_form.rtf or via: www.ifip.or.at >>> Events (left side) >>> Event Approval Guidelines >>> Event Form (including Statement of Understanding). If the delegates agree we might informally use the modified version for our purposes. Once again: No payment will be made by IFIP secretariat for events which have not submitted an ERF and which, therefore, are not in the IFIP database. There are 19 (!) such events for the moment being for TC6. We'll discuss them all in Toronto. Best regards Otto Best regards Otto
