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.
Regards
Basie

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

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.

Dear all,
IFIP has a new logo. 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

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!
