   1st European Workshop on Security in Ad-Hoc and Sensor Networks
                            (ESAS 2004)

                         August 5-6, 2004
                     EURESCOM, Heidelberg, Germany

With more and more devices getting smart and interconnected, ad hoc and
sensor networks will open up a realm of new communication and data exchange
opportunities. These upcoming networks are characterized by their dynamic
structure, lack of a pre-established fixed infrastructure, and constrained
resources. In order to allow their successful deployment, various security
challenges must be met. Examples include missing `a priori' security
associations, no clear line of defense, the lack of a trusted
infrastructure, complex multiple domain relationships, as well as bandwidth,
computing, memory and energy constraints. Due to the pervasive nature of
applications relying on ad-hoc and sensor networks effective provisions
for robust security solutions in a reliable and power efficient way
must be taken.

This workshop seeks submissions presenting novel research on all aspects
of security and cryptography for ad-hoc and sensor networks. ESAS 2004 will
be a workshop where the cryptography, security and wireless networking
communities meet. Submission of papers based on work-in-progress is
encouraged.

The topics include but are not limited to:

Cryptographic protocols
Trust establishment, negotiation, and management
Security in constrained environments
Cooperation and fairness based protocols
Key management
Scalabilty evaluation of secure and reliable protocols
Secure routing
Secure hardware modules
Implementations of secure protocols
Deployment of secure protocols
Privacy and anonymity
Secure MAC protocols

Instructions for Authors
Authors are invited to submit original papers. The preferred submission
form is by electronic mail to Claude.Castelluccia at inrialpes.fr . The
submissions must not exceed 10 pages (excluding the title page,
bibliography and appendices) nor 12 pages overall. The final version
should not exceed 15 pages. Please submit the paper in Postscript or
PDF, together with an extra file containing the email and physical
address of the authors, an indication of the corresponding author and
a copy of the title, key words and abstract. We recommend that you
generate the PS or PDF file using LaTeX and the LNCS style available
at www.springer.de/comp/lncs. All submissions will be refereed.
Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the
authors have published elsewhere or have submitted in parallel.

The workshop will also include a poster and demonstrator session.
Submissions will include a 2-page summary as well as a rough draft of the
poster.
