                    (In conjunction with ICNP 2005:
       The 13th IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols)


SCOPE:

The first IEEE ICNP workshop on Secure Network Protocols (NPSec) is a
one-day event held in conjunction with ICNP 2005. NPSec focuses on two
general areas.  The first focus is on the development and analysis of
secure or hardened protocols for the operation (establishment and
maintenance) of network infrastructure, including such targets as
secure multidomain, ad-hoc, sensor or overlay networks, or other
related target areas.  This can include new protocols, enhancements to
existing protocols, protocol analysis, and new attacks on existing
protocols.  The second focus is on employing such secure network
protocols to create or enhance network applications.  Examples include
collaborative firewalls, incentive strategies for multiparty networks,
and deployment strategies to enable secure applications.

TOPICS OF INTEREST:

* secure or hardened protocols for operation of networks including (but
  not limited to):
    - internetworking, e.g., BGP, DNS
    - MANETs
    - LANs and WLANs
    - cellular data networks
    - p2p and other overlay networks
    - federated trust systems
    - sensor networks
* vulnerability analysis of existing protocols and applications (both
  theoretical and case studies), including novel attacks
* key distribution
* collaborative intrusion detection and response, such as
  collaborative firewalling
* incentive systems for multiparty networks, such as for p2p and MANET
  routing
* protocol configuration and deployment strategies enabling secure
  applications, e.g., e-commerce
