The aim of this workshop is to bring together the work done by
practitioners
as well as researchers in understanding the practical and theoretical
issues
related to all aspects of wireless security such as implementation,
deployment,
application and usage in these wireless networks that hold promise for
commercial
deployment. The scope of the workshop will range over all topics
related to the
development and deployment of solutions to current issues in wireless
security.
We seek original, previously unpublished and completed contributions
not currently
under review elsewhere. The workshop will include contributed technical
papers,
invited papers, panel discussions and tools demonstrations. Areas of
interest
include a variety of topics related to security in wireless networks
including,
but not limited to:

* Cellular networks
* WiMax networks
* Vehicular networks
* Intrusion Detection
* Self-monitoring/self-healing wireless networks
* Denial of Service attacks and prevention
* Secure group communication/multicast
* Security considerations for resource constrained devices
* Cross-layer network attacks and mitigation
* Privacy, contract agreements and Payment systems
* Redundancy and security
* Dependability/Security optimization and adaptive control
* Role of Biometrics
* Novel Threats/attacks/Vulnerabilities
* Public key infrastructure implementation
* Intrusion tolerant mechanisms
* Secure Routing protocols
* Network controlled secure physical reconfiguration
* WLAN/2G/3G/4G/Bluetooth networks
* Reasoning about Trust in wireless environment
* Tools for Analysis and Verification of Protocols
* Wireless security protocols (TKIP, CCMP)
