Call for Papers
SSR 2016: 3rd International conference on Security
Standardization Research
5th-6th December 2016, NIST, Gaithersburg, MD, USA
http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/ST/ssr2016/
Over the last two decades a huge range of standards have been
developed covering many different aspects of cyber security.
These documents have been published by national and
international formal standardization bodies, as well as by
industry consortia. Many of these standards have become very
widely used - to take just one example, the ISO/IEC 27000
series have become a commonly used basis for managing corporate
information security.
Despite their wide use, there will always be a need to revise
existing security standards and to add new standards to cover
new domains. The purpose of this conference is to discuss the
many research problems deriving from studies of existing
standards, the development of revisions to existing standards,
and the exploration of completely new areas of standardization.
Indeed, many security standards bodies are only beginning to
address the issue of transparency, so that the process of
selecting security techniques for standardization can be seen
to be as scientific and unbiased as possible.
This conference is intended to cover the full spectrum of
research on security standardization, including, but not
restricted to, work on cryptographic techniques (including
ANSI, IEEE, IETF, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27, ITU-T and NIST),
security management, security evaluation criteria, network
security, privacy and identity management, smart cards and RFID
tags, biometrics, security modules, and industry-specific
security standards (e.g. those produced by the payments,
telecommunications and computing industries for such things as
payment protocols, mobile telephony and trusted computing).
Papers offering research contributions to the area of security
standardization are solicited for submission to the SSR 2016
conference. Papers may present theory, applications or
practical experience in the field of security standardization,
including, but not necessarily limited to:
* access control
* biometrics
* cloud computing
* critical national infrastructure (CNI) protection
* consistency and comparison of multiple standards
* critiques of standards
* cryptanalysis
* cryptographic protocols
* cryptographic techniques
* evaluation criteria
* formal analysis of standards
* history of standardization
* identity management
* industrial control systems security
* internet security
* interoperability of standards
* intrusion detection
* key management and PKIs
* management of the standardization process
* mobile security
* network security
* open standards and open source
* payment system security
* privacy
* regional and international standards
* RFID tag security
* risk analysis
* security controls
* security management
* security protocols
* security services
* security tokens
* smart cards
* telecommunications security
* trusted computing
* web security
Papers addressing the following more general topics are
particularly welcome:
* Do standards processes promote complexity that detracts from
security?
* Are there processes or approaches that can minimize complexity?
* Are there technical areas in which standards are misaligned
with the security models developed in research? Studies that
show areas of misalignment are interesting, as is work that
aims to improve alignment.
* How long does it take for good ideas to propagate from
research to standards to adoption and deployment? How long does
it take for security problems in standards to be identified by
the research community? How can we improve communication
between these communities in order to expedite both of these
processes?
* What is the impact of nationally-driven security
research on international security standards?
* Are there cases in which a security standard was done well or
done poorly? Studies that describe processes that should (or
should not) be emulated are welcome.
* Is Open Source replacing security standards development
organizations, or changing the way that they operate? What are
the implications on security standards?
Submissions must be original and must not substantially
duplicate work that any of the authors has published elsewhere
or has submitted in parallel to any journal or to any other
conference or workshop that has published proceedings.
All accepted papers will be published in the conference
proceedings and these proceedings will be
published in the Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS) series (www.springer.com/lncs), as has been the
case for the two preceding conferences in the series. The
proceedings will be available at the conference. Papers
published in the LNCS series are indexed by both EI and ISTP.
Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will
be presented at the conference, and at least one author of
every accepted paper must register for the conference.
All submissions will be blind-reviewed. Papers must be
anonymous, with no author names, affiliations,
acknowledgements, or obvious references. A submitted paper
should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of
keywords.
Clear instructions for the preparation of a final proceedings
version will be sent to the authors of accepted papers. Authors
are strongly recommended to submit their papers in the standard
LNCS format (see
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-0-0-0 for
details), with length at most 15 pages (excluding bibliography
and appendices). Committee members are not required to review
more pages than this, so papers should be intelligible within
this length. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk
rejection without consideration of their merits.
The conference will take place at the NIST headquarters in
Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA.
Papers must be submitted using the EasyChair conference
management system at:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ssr20160
