FCS-ARSPA'06

Joint Workshop on Foundations of Computer Security and Automated Reasoning for Security Protocol Analysis

co-located with LICS'06 as part of FLoC'06 Seattle, August 15 - 16, 2006

****************************** *** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION *** ****************************** Overview

Computer security is an established field of computer science of both theoretical and practical significance. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in logic-based foundations for various methods in computer security, including the formal specification, analysis and design of security protocols and their applications, the formal definition of various aspects of security such as access control mechanisms, mobile code security and denial-of-service attacks, and the modeling of information flow and its application to confidentiality policies, system composition, and covert channel analysis.

The workshop FCS-ARSPA'06 is the fusion of two workshops. The workshop FCS continues a tradition, initiated with the Workshops on Formal Methods and Security Protocols (FMSP) in 1998 and 1999, then with the Workshop on Formal Methods and Computer Security (FMCS) in 2000, and finally with the LICS satellite Workshop on Foundations of Computer Security (FCS) in 2002 through 2005, of bringing together formal methods and the security community. The ARSPA workshop is the third in a series of successful workshops on Automated Reasoning for Security Protocol Analysis, bringing 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.

The aim of the joint workshop FCS-ARSPA'06 is to provide a forum for continued activity in these areas, to bring computer security researchers in closer contact with the LICS community, and to give LICS attendees an opportunity to talk to experts in computer security.
