The INTRICATE-SEC workshop is an annual invited workshop for researchers in information security. INTRICATE-SEC seeks papers on foundational and unconventional aspects of computer security, e.g., formal security models, usability and provider requirements, trust and identity management, and tools for design and analysis of security mechanisms as well as their application to practice. While INTRICATE-SEC welcomes submissions beyond the topics listed below, the main focus of INTRICATE-SEC is information security.

 

 

Synopsis: In recent years, information security systems have become increasingly popular because of hardware and software innovations. Powerful processors make time  intensive  computations  faster  but  have  also  made  security  violations  much easier. Attacks on computing systems have shifted from being simple attacks perpetrated by socially maladjusted teenagers to a concerted criminal activity. It therefore makes sense to explore alternative or unconventional approaches to solving problems of information security including the support of a variety of user requirements as well as provider requirements. The fact that computer systems are changing rapidly and extending their boundaries in environments such as cloud computing and service oriented architectures introduces more intricacies in security measures.

 

 

Survey or Vision Papers:  INTRICATE-SEC aims to compliment the Information Security South Africa (ISSA) Conference with invited survey papers on the theories and intricacies of provisioning information security. We particularly encourage vision papers that describe open questions, raise concerns about practical security, and propose potential directions forward. These vision papers should be focused on a real world security problem, argue for why it raises a challenge, and postulate on a relevant technique for addressing the issue. These papers will appear in the INTRICATE-SEC proceedings and will be presented at the workshop.

Proceedings will be available at the workshop and selected abstracts will be invited for extension and submission as book chapters in a book published by IGI Global, USA.

Topics:  Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

Unconventional security solutions	Anonymization and Authentication
Mobile Viruses and Worms	Protecting Fragmented Data
Information Forensics	Information Flow Control
Identity and Trust Management	Formal Methods of Verification
Intrusion Detection	Cloud Security
Inter---Enterprise Security

 

Submission Instructions: Submitted abstracts must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with published proceedings. Duplications or overlap with other published or submitted papers will be considered as grounds for rejection.

Abstracts should be submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF) only. At least one co-author of each accepted abstract is required to attend INTRICATE-SEC to present the abstract.

Abstracts must be submitted using the one-column Proceedings style. Templates are available at the INTRICATE-SEC template page (pdf, teX, bib). Abstracts should be at most 3 pages long, not counting bibliography and well-marked appendices. Committee members are not required to read appendices, and so the abstract must be intelligible without them.

Abstracts should be submitted using the INTRICATE-SEC 2013 submission site. The abstract submission deadline is April 7, 2013.
