Forwarded from: Lionel Garth Jones <lgj (at) usenix.org> We're writing to remind you that the submission deadline for 2010 Workshop on Collaborative Methods for Security and Privacy (CollSec '10) is approaching. Please submit your work by Tuesday, April 20, 2010, 11:59 p.m. PDT. http://www.usenix.org/collsec10/cfpb/ The complexity and sophistication of security threats are expected to increase further in the near future. Existing security solutions might soon become useless in the face of attacks that will most likely be launched from many computers at once (for example, the use of large botnets). An appropriate answer to such threats should rely on collaborative methods that harness the collective strength of many independent units. When it comes to defending against a given threat, different end-units as well as entire networks are essentially performing the same work redundantly. As a result, the need to share knowledge (for accelerating detection and response to new attacks and threats) and resources (increasing efficiency and reducing resources consumption) becomes clear. While the workshop will touch on themes that are at the heart of the USENIX Security Symposium, discussion will focus on the boundary between collaborative algorithms and swarm intelligence and the implementation domains of networking, privacy, and security. Proposed topics for the workshop include but are not limited to the following: * Collaborative detection of distributed network attacks * Peer-to-peer-based security mechanisms * Adversarial abuse of collaborative security mechanisms * Anti-epidemic network vaccination * Efficient implementation of security and privacy algorithms through sharing knowledge and resources * Increasing energy efficiency through collaboration in network security * Use of low complexity property testing methods by decentralized security agents * Collaboration in future Internet security and privacy layers * Novel collaborative network architectures for increased security and privacy * Trust and authentication in collaborative environments * Collaboration-aware network protocols: security and privacy aspects * Collaborative privacy management: access controls and permissions * Decentralized, trusted third-party approaches and methods * Intrusion detection in collaborative and cloud computing environments * Security configuration based on social context groups (social firewall, authentication protocols, etc.) * Security algorithms inspired by human social-cooperation interactions * Providing security and privacy for social overlay networks * Configuring security protocol parameters based on social and cooperative information Important Dates -- Paper submission deadline: April 20, 2010, 11:59 p.m. PDT -- Notification of acceptance: June 10, 2010 -- Final paper files due: June 30, 2010 -- Workshop date: August 10, 2010 For more details on the submission process, please see the complete Call for Papers at: http://www.usenix.org/collsec10/cfpb/ Co-located with the 19th USENIX Security Symposium in Washington, DC, CollSec '10 will be a one-day event on Tuesday, August 10, 2010. We look forward to receiving your submissions!
