It is expected that no one with access to a paper under review will make any inappropriate use of the special knowledge, which that access provides. Contents of abstracts submitted to conference program committees should be regarded as privileged as well, and handled in the same manner. The Conference Publications Chair shall ensure that referees adhere to this practice. Organizers of IEEE conferences are expected to provide an appropriate forum for the oral presentation and discussion of all accepted papers. An author, in offering a paper for presentation at an IEEE conference, or accepting an invitation to present a paper, is expected to be present at the meeting to deliver the paper. In the event that circumstances unknown at the time of submission of a paper preclude its presentation by an author, the program chair should be informed on time, and appropriate substitute arrangements should be made. In some cases it may help reduce no-shows for the Conference to require advance registration together with the submission of the final manuscript. *****ABOUT IEEE***** IEEE is the world’s largest professional association advancing innovation and technological excellence for the benefit of humanity.

In addition to the traditional ACM WiSec topics of physical, link, and network layer security, we welcome papers focusing on the increasingly diverse range of mobile or wireless applications such as Internet of Things, and Cyber-Physical Systems, as well as the security and privacy of mobile software platforms, usable security and privacy, biometrics, and cryptography. The conference welcomes both theoretical as well as systems contributions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Security protocols for wireless networking * Security & privacy for smart devices (e.g., smartphones) * Security of mobile applications for smartphones and wearables * Wireless and mobile privacy and anonymity * Secure localization and location privacy * Cellular network fraud and security * Jamming attacks and defenses * Key management (agreement or distribution) for wireless or mobile systems * Theoretical and formal approaches for wireless and mobile security * Physical layer and Information-theoretic security schemes for wireless systems * Cryptographic primitives for wireless and mobile security * NFC and smart payment applications * Security and privacy for mobile sensing systems * Wireless or mobile security for Cyber-Physical Systems (e.g, healthcare, smart grid, or IoT applications) * Vehicular networks security (e.g., drones, automotive, avionics, autonomous driving) * Physical tracking security and privacy * Usable mobile security and privacy * Economics of mobile security and privacy * Mobile malware and platform security * Security for cognitive radio and dynamic spectrum access systems The proceedings of ACM WiSec, sponsored by SIGSAC, will be published by the ACM. Full and short papers ===================== Full paper submissions to ACM WiSec 2019 can be up to 10 pages in the ACM conference style excluding the bibliography and well marked appendices, and up to 12 pages in total. ACM WiSec also encourages the submission of short papers with a length of up to 6 pages, which describe mature work of a more succinct nature. All papers must be thoroughly anonymized for double-blind reviewing. Detailed submission instructions will appear on the conference website. Opinion papers ============== ACM WiSec 2019 invites papers (ACM conference style, up to 3 pages excluding references) that present personal perspectives on all aspects of security and privacy in wireless and mobile networks. Opinion papers could also criticize previous research or research directions, as well as highlight possible promising research directions. The opinions expressed in these papers are expected to be anyway corroborated by theoretical foundations, experiments, or experiences. Like the regular papers, the opinion papers will be reviewed by the WiSec Technical Program Committee. The selected opinion papers will be a part of the WiSec technical program and will be published in the conference proceedings. Opinion papers should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must have the prefix "Opinion:". Replicability label =================== The goal of the replicability label is to support replicability in mobile and wireless security experimental research process and to increase the impact of mobile and wireless research, enable dissemination of research results, sharing of code and experiments setups, and to enable the research community to build on prior experimental results. WiSec will follow the ACM policy on artifact review and badging. Towards this goal, the WiSec replicability label recognizes papers whose results were replicated by an independent group of researchers. Authors of accepted papers can participate in this voluntary process by submitting their experiments according to the replicability evaluation instructions. Authors are encouraged to plan ahead when running their experiments to minimize the overhead of applying for this label. Posters and Demos ================= WiSec also solicits submission of posters and demos. The instructions to submit posters/demos will be made available later on WiSec 2019 website. Double submissions ================== It is a policy of the ACM to disallow double submissions, where the same (or substantially similar) paper is concurrently submitted to multiple conferences/journals. Any double submissions detected will be immediately rejected from all conferences/journals involved.

JPDC Special Issue CFP: Security & Privacy in Social Big Data-Extended Deadline Jan. 20, 2019
by Qin Liu 15 Jan '19

15 Jan '19

[Apologies for multiple postings] https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-parallel-and-distributed-compu… ******************************************************************************************************************** Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing Security & Privacy in Social Big Data ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SCOPE of the SI The rapid development of social networks dramatically changes the way people think, work, and interact. As more and more individual users proactively generate, share, and exchange digital contents through social media, social networks have become a key source of big data. However, with such vast interconnectivity, convergence of relationships, and shared user information comes increased security and privacy concerns in social big data. On one hand, users carelessly posting their personal information on social media which can easily have their privacy breached. On the other hand, malicious attackers may manipulate such information to make a profit. There are two important security and privacy issues in social networks. The first is how to effectively utilize social data while protecting user privacy. The second is how to guarantee the authenticity of social data for an in-depth data analysis. Traditional security mechanisms and models tailored to small-scale or isomorphic data are inadequate to securing social big data which exhibit enormous volume and diverse formats. Therefore, how to develop scalable cryptographic algorithms/protocols and lightweight data mining/organization/optimization models to solve the security and privacy challenges becomes crucial for the successful application of social big data.

by Francesca Righetti 14 Jan '19

14 Jan '19

[CALL FOR PAPERS] IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering Special Issue on Edge computing for Internet of Things GUEST EDITORS: Qiang Ye (Lead), Dalhousie University, Canada. Email: qye(a)cs.dal.ca <mailto:qye@cs.dal.ca> M. Jamal Deen, McMaster University, Canada. Email: jamal(a)mcmaster.ca <mailto:jamal@mcmaster.ca> Antonio Puliafito, University of Messina, Italy. Email: apuliafito(a)unime.it <mailto:apuliafito@unime.it> Lin Zhang, Beihang University, China. Email: zhanglin(a)buaa.edu.cn <mailto:zhanglin@buaa.edu.cn> TOPIC SUMMARY: The Internet of Things (IoT) are expected to improve the quality of human lives through billions of Internet-based devices. To satisfy the computation and storage requirements of IoT, cloud computing has served as the most important computing infrastructure. However, with the explosion of the number of devices in IoT (expected to reach 50 billion by 2020), a large volume of raw data will be continuously generated by IoT devices, consequently making cloud computing inadequate to efficiently and securely handle the data. In particular, cloud computing will be highly limited in terms of network bandwidth and privacy protection in IoT. To solve this problem, many researchers have attempted to move data computation and service provisioning from the cloud to the edge, which results in the area of edge computing and the related fog computing. Early-stage research has indicated that edge computing could potentially enable IoT applications to meet their latency/delay requirements, improve the scalability and energy efficiency of IoT systems, and facilitate contextual information processing. Nevertheless, a series of challenging problems need to be addressed in order to fully utilize edge computing for IoT. For instance, most of the computation resources in edge computing are heterogeneous mobile devices that are highly energy-hungry, which means that edge computing tends to be unreliable. Moreover, how to efficiently distribute computation/data storage and how to combine edge computing with cloud computing in order to provide scalable services need to be further studied. In addition, how to support services without compromising privacy and security is a challenging problem in edge computing. This special issue aims to provide a prime venue for researchers from both academia and industry to discuss the key problems and present the innovative solutions in the area of edge computing for IoT. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · Edge/Fog computing architecture for IoT · Modeling and performance analysis of edge computing for IoT · Communication and networking technologies in edge computing for IoT · Mobile computing resource management in edge computing for IoT · Machine learning and deep learning in edge computing for IoT · QoS and QoE provisioning in edge computing for IoT · Trust, security and privacy in edge computing for IoT · Energy management in edge computing for IoT · Collaboration of edge computing and cloud computing for IoT · Experiences in delivering edge/fog-based services · Open issues and challenges in edge computing for IoT IMPORTANT DATES: · Manuscripts due: Apr/01/2019 · Peer reviews to authors: July/01/2019 · Revised manuscripts due: Aug/01/2019 · Second-round reviews to authors: Oct/01/2019 · Final accepted manuscript due: Oct/31/2019 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Prospective authors are invited to submit their manuscripts electronically after the “open for submissions” date, adhering to the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering guidelines (http://www.computer.org/portal/web/TNSE/author <http://www.computer.org/portal/web/TNSE/author>). Please submit your papers through the online system (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/TNSE-cs <https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/TNSE-cs>) and be sure to select the special issue or special section name. Manuscripts should not be published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. Please submit only full papers intended for review, not abstracts, to the ScholarOne portal. If requested, abstracts should be sent by e-mail to the Guest Editors directly.
