The First International Workshop on Security for Mobile Wireless Communications

In conjunction with COMSWARE 2008, Bangalore, India
January 6th, 2008

Mobile Wireless Communications enable the exchange of information in a real, or near real-time manner, without the constraint of a fixed point of access. Reliable and secure communications combined with constant and universal network availability, are key elements for the successful commercialization of the applications that utilize wireless technology. However, new security challenges emerge due to the dynamic network topology, the open nature of the wireless medium, the resource constraints of the mobile devices, and possibly, the lack of a pre-deployed infrastructure.

The workshop on Security for Mobile Wireless Communication (SeMIC), held in conjunction with COMSWARE 2008, seeks submissions from academia and industry, that present novel approaches on addressing security issues for mobile wireless communications.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Authentication and access control
Secure MAC/PHY protocols for mobile networks
Cooperation, fairness and incentive-based security
Key management for wireless/mobile environments
Trust establishment
Intrusion detection in mobile networks
Accountability for malicious behavior and resource misuse
Revocation of malicious parties
Secure location services
Privacy, anonymity and prevention of traffic analysis
Security in cognitive radios
Security in vehicular networks
Anti-Jamming techniques, and DoS Countermeasures
Vulnerability modeling and threat analysis
Security & privacy in RFID systems
Secure routing
