4th  International  Conference  on

CRYPTOLOGY  AND  NETWORK SECURITY

(CANS 2005)  <http://math.fjnu.edu.cn/cans> http://math.fjnu.edu.cn/cans

Xiamen, Fujian Province, China, 14-16 December, 2005

Call for Papers

Submission Deadline:  16 June, 2005

Motivation for the conference:  Over the last decade we have seen a true
explosion of conferences and workshops on cryptography.  The state of
the art of cryptography is significantly better than it was 20-30 years
ago. The AES standard was developed by academia instead of in secrecy,
we have proven secure cryptographic schemes such as RSA-OAEP, proven
secure modes of operation and proven secure protocols. Unfortunately, we
see that:

    o there is an imbalance between the large investment in research on
      cryptography and its deployment. Today the only wide spread
Internet
      applications of cryptography are SSL and SSH. At the same time,

    o other disciplines such as computer security and network security
have
      not made so much progress. We see that many network applications
such  as kazaa and Internet Explorer have been exploited to help in the
spread of  spyware. We see that operating systems are not so secure.
Weekly we hear  about embarrassing news related to network or computer
security. Examples  are the massive ID theft at the University of
California Berkeley, the  appearance of computer worms in cell phone
networks, etc.

Conferences and journals exist that focus on computer security, such as
the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy, ESORICS, USENIX and the
Journal of Computer Security. However, there are very few scientific
venues that focus  on network security. Moreover, many textbooks see
network security as just  applied cryptography, which it is not.  The
main goal of this conference, is  to promote research on all aspects of
network security. It is also the goal  to build a bridge between
research on cryptography and network security. So,  we welcome
scientific and academic papers that focus on this  multidisciplinary
area.

Background:  The first International Workshop on Cryptology and Network
Security was in Taipei, Taiwan, 2001. The second one was in San
Francisco, California, USA, September 26 - 28, 2002, and the third in
Miami, Florida, USA, September 24 - 26, 2003.

Proceedings:  This will be the first CANS with proceedings published in
the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series by Springer Verlag, and be
available at the conference.

Topics of interest:

                       aspects of network security, e.g.

           o Denial of Service          o Spam           o  Scanning
           o Intrusion Detection        o Spyware        o  WWW Security
           o Router Security

                  network security using cryptography, e.g.

      o Anonymity and internet voting       o PKI,
      o Broadcast and Multicast Security    o Secure E-Mail
      o DNS Security                        o Secure protocols, (SSH,
SSL,
 ...) o Firewalls                           o Security of Ad Hoc
Networks o
 Information Hiding                  o Session Hijacking
      o International Standards             o Virtual Private Networks
      o (IP) Spoofing,                      o Wireless Security

Papers on cryptology are welcome. Those that make a substantial link
with network security will be given priority. Authors of such papers are
encouraged to explain in a subsection of the introduction the link with
network security. Quality papers on pure cryptology may also be
accepted.

Instructions for Authors:  The paper must start with a title, an
abstract and keywords, but should be anonymous.  It should be followed
by a succinct statement appropriate for a non-specialist reader
specifying the subject addressed, its background, the main achievements,
and their significance to Cryptology or Network Security.  Technical
details directed to the specialist should then follow.  Self citations
to unpublished work should be avoided to maintain the anonymity.  A
limit of 12 singlespaced pages of 12pt type (not counting the
bibliography and clearly marked appendices) is placed on all
submissions. The total paper must not exceed 18 pages. Since referees
are not required to read the appendices, the paper should be
intelligible without them. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk
rejection without consideration of their merits.

Submission instructions:  Abstracts that have been or will be submitted
in parallel to other conferences or workshops that have proceedings are
not eligible for submission.  One of the authors is expected to present
the  paper. Authors who submit papers agree to have their papers
published in the  proceedings and sign the copyright form.  The
submission receipt deadline is  June 16 23:59 Pacific Daylight Time,
i.e.  GMT: June 17 at 6:59). 
 Guidelines for electronic submissions will be posted soon (no other
submissions will be accepted).  The submission should be in US letter
paper  size (so not A4), and should be in Postscript or PDF with Type 1
fonts (so  not Type 3 fonts).  (See
