Call for Papers

Workshop on Security and Privacy in 4G Networks

Washington DC, USA, 26 November 2007

http://www.comsoc.org/confs/globecom/2007/

in conjunction with IEEE GLOBECOM 2007

 

 

Scope of Workshop

Workshop on Security and Privacy in 4G Networks will be held in
conjunction with Globecom 2007. It will bring together security and
privacy experts, practitioners, standards developers and others in
academia, industry and government. The objective of the workshop is to
identify the key issues to be addressed by future research in the areas
of security and privacy in 4G networks that will constitute of a new air
interface providing higher capacity and increased coverage in the form
of multi-hop communication and interworking with existing radio access
networks. We expect the workshop to help motivate the research in this
area and to establish fruitful relationship with the leading actors from
academia, industry, and government worldwide.

 

Importance of the Workshop

Mobile communication has evolved in a rapid pace in the past 20 years.
Technology has gone through tremendous changes in terms of security,
access techniques, protocol stacks, bandwidth usage and also convergence
into packet switching based on the All-IP network from the conventional
circuit switched techniques. Complexity has increased due to the
introduction of different access technologies, available services, and
other aspects as mentioned above during the telecom evolution for the
past 20 years. Now we are discussing about 4G that will attribute to the
increased complexity. This year in WRC 2007 the spectrum for a new air
interface in 4G will be decided. Research, standardization and
development of 4G will thus become more focused than before, thus this
is the perfect timing to identify the research topics in 4G. The
characteristics of 4G, e.g., enhanced internetworking and high mobility,
will lead to added system requirements that are far more complex than
what we have seen in current networks. As the 4G network provides many
new service applications, security and privacy will become one of the
key issues in 4G networks. Knowing the complexity and the fact that it
takes 5 - 10 years for a new 'G' to be deployed, it is right time to
kick-off a workshop on 4G network security and privacy in 2007 Globecom.
This is because we should take care that the next generation starts with
security as an important aspect from the beginning, and especially
because Internet/IP will be the core of it. We believe that having
security from the beginning will lead the researchers to develop a
realistic 4G solution, which is another important reason why we should
have the workshop on 4G security and privacy now.

 

Paper Submission

Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research,
not currently under review somewhere else, are solicited. Submissions
should include abstract, keywords, e-mail address of the corresponding
author. The length of the papers should be limited up to 6 pages in
standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font). Papers
should be submitted electronically in PDF format (or postscript) by
sending it as an e-mail attachment to Seung-Woo Seo ( sseo at snu.ac.kr )
or Anand Prasad ( prasad at docomolab-euro.com ).  Submission of a paper
should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted,
at least one of the authors must register and attend the workshop to
present the work. All papers will be peer reviewed and the comments will
be provided to the authors. All accepted papers will be published in
workshop proceeding by IEEE Communications Society and IEEE Digital
Library.

 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

*         Mobile and Wireless Security & Privacy

*         4G Security Architecture and Framework Design

*         Secure Multimedia Broadcast / Multicast in 4G Networks

*         Trust Model

*         Security for Mobility

*         Secure handoff in 4G Networks

*         Threat, Vulnerabilities, and Risk Analysis

*         Access Security 

*         Integrated AAA Framework

*         Identity Privacy

*         Security Management
