2002 ACM SIGPLAN and IFIP WG 1.7
Workshop on Issues in the Theory of Security (WITS'02)
Portland, Oregon, USA, January 14-15, 2002
Preceding POPL'02
OVERVIEW OF WITS
The IFIP WG
1.7 on "Theoretical Foundations of Security Analysis and
Design" was established to investigate the theoretical foundations
of security, discovering and promoting new areas of application of
theoretical techniques in computer security and supporting the
systematic use of formal techniques in the development of security
related applications. The members of WG hold their annual workshop as
an open event to which all researchers working on the theory of
computer security are invited. This is the second workshop, and the
first sponsored by ACM
SIGPLAN. The first workshop, WITS'00,
was held in Geneva in July 2000.
The program will encourage
discussions by all attendees, both during and after scheduled
presentations on participants' ongoing work. Extended abstracts of
work presented at the Workshop will be collected and distributed to
the participants. As in 2000, there will be no formally published
proceedings of this year's workshop; however, selected papers will be
invited for submission to a special issue of the Journal of Computer Security
based on the Workshop.
Suggested submission topics included:
-
formal definition and verification of the various aspects of security:
confidentiality, privacy, integrity, authentication and availability;
-
new theoretically-based techniques for the formal analysis and design of
cryptographic protocols and their manifold applications (e.g., electronic
commerce);
-
information flow modelling and its application to the theory of confidentiality
policies, composition of systems, and covert channel analysis;
-
formal techniques for the analysis and verification of code
security, including mobile code security;
-
formal analysis and design for prevention of denial of service.
