Aims and Scope

This workshop aims to bring together engineers, researchers and others interested in the latest advances in network security. We are interested in innovative defense technologies against malicious attacks, survey of security issues in relative areas, attack simulations etc. Invited talks will focus on new insights, preliminary or concrete research results, visions and future plans in this evolving area. Tutorials are also welcome.

Areas of particular interest include, but are not limited to:

• Denial-of-service attacks and countermeasures
• IP traceback
• Attack simulations
• New types of attacks
• Firewall technologies
• Network security policies
• First-hand experiences in defending against attacks
• Honeypot
• Intrusion detection
• Security issues in peer-to-peer
• Security issues in active networks
• Security issues in ubiquitous and pervasive computing
• Analysis of network and security protocols
