CALL FOR PAPERS (Final) NPSec 2009 5th Workshop on Secure Network Protocols In conjunction with ICNP 2009 October 13, 2009 Princeton, New Jersey, USA http://www.gtisc.gatech.edu/npsec09/ Scope: The 5th workshop on Secure Network Protocols (NPSec) is a one-day event held in conjunction with with the 17th IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols (ICNP 2009). NPSec focuses on two general areas. The first focus is on the development and analysis of secure or hardened protocols for the operation (establishment and maintenance) of network infrastructure, including such targets as secure multidomain, ad hoc, sensor or overlay networks, or other related target areas. This can include new protocols, enhancements to existing protocols, protocol analysis, and new attacks on existing protocols. The second focus is on employing such secure network protocols to create or enhance network applications. Examples include collaborative firewalls, incentive strategies for multiparty networks, and deployment strategies to enable secure applications. NPSec 2009 particularly welcomes new ideas on security in the context of future Internet design, such as architectural considerations for future Internet security and new primitives for supporting secure network protocol and application design. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: 1. security in future Internet architectures - role of security in future architectures - integrating security into future protocols and applications 2. secure and/or resilient network protocols, e.g.: - internetworking/routing - MANETs - LANs and WLANs - mobile/cellular data networks - p2p and other overlay networks - federated trust systems - sensor networks 3. vulnerabilities of existing protocols and applications (both theoretical and case studies), including attacks 4. key distribution/management 5. intrusion detection and response 6. incentive systems for p2p systems and MANETs routing 7. secure protocol configuration and deployment Important Dates: Abstract submission: June 8, 2009 Paper submission: June 15, 2009 Notification of acceptance: July 15, 2009 Camera ready version: August 5, 2009 NPSEC Steering Committee: Sonia Fahmy, Purdue University (chair) George Kesidis, Penn State University Cristina Nita-Rotaru, Purdue University Gene Tsudik, UC Irvine Program Co-Chairs: Jelena Mirkovic, USC/ISI Xiaowei Yang, Duke University Web and Proceedings Chair: Vijay A.

I believe we are addressing it in section 6 where we talk about routing and data integrity, and then send sections 7.2.5 and 7.2.6 where we discuss integrity of location bindings and encrypting content. Do you think there's something missing or unclear in the above?

This ubiquity is an unstoppable market force placing computation in nearly every aspect of our lives, and more and more of these systems have Internet connectivity, and thus, the possibility of communicating with one another. We are standing on a threshold that, when crossed, will leave each of us at least virtually always connected to Internet services, be it our set top box or satellite receiver downloading videos; wearable computers; the alarm systems in our homes sending alerts and streaming video to our preferred hand- held device; an RFID scanner reading our passports, or a chip embedded beneath our skin, and comparing the read data to a global data base. The rapid deployment of ubiquitous systems will surely outpace a careful examination of the effect this deployment may have on nearly all aspects of our everyday lives. Central to these examinations is surely the "Pandora's Box" of an individual's privacy. Whether it's one of Howard Rheingold's smart mobs, a home security system, a sensor network, a RFID based shopping checkout system, city wide video surveillance, or each of us using our personal devices, this is potentially hundreds of millions of devices connected to the Internet. Taking this into account with the vulnerability of even the most secure systems to Internet hackers, and thus, the concomitant magnification of the potential loss of personal information, we can no longer say, deploy it because it is cool technology. Can we design our ubiquitous devices, the networks and the distributed systems that they use to address the above issues? Can, in fact, the Internet transport protocols of the 1970's and 1980's in spite of their evolution still be retrofitted to do the tasks ubiquitous computing will demand of them? How does one guarantee the Quality Assurance of these systems and services, as well as their Quality of Service? Will, in fact, user anonymity be possible, it is always desirable in some cultures, given this ubiquity? Such systems present a formidable challenge and this mini-track will be open to exploring both the research, design and deployment aspects of building systems to meet this challenge.

Summary and Topics: Thanks to technological advances, wired and wireless sensor networks are attracting an increasing attention that promotes their large-scale deployments in many applications, such as environmental monitoring, militar= y surveillance, and scientific exploration. Continuous improvements are motivating works in addressing specific sensor network issues spanning hardware, network protocols, architecture, operating systems, and applications. Furthermore, emergent needs to fulfill a variety of heterogeneous requirements are highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary networks that control their processing and manage their resources by means of self-organizing techniques. These techniques particularly require sharing the decision-making process over hundreds of low-power, short lifetimes sensors. The achievement of this goal is still facing an urgent and challenging question on how to provide these spatially distributed sensors with reasonable autonomy that help them in performing the right action, at the right time for the sake of fulfilling current requirements while increasing the lifetime of the entire sensor network and guaranteeing reliable and enduring pathway communications. Automating the sensor network activities is also an urgent and challenging issue especiall= y that commonly sensing devices are operating unattended in remote and hostil= e areas where manual maintenance is nearly impossible. Since predefined and late decisions do not help much in improving the efficiency of networked sensing devices, automation and autonomy are very important mechanisms in addressing upcoming developments that target multi-services, collaborating, or competing sensor networks. To reach these goals, the second Internationa= l Workshop on Automated and Autonomous Sensor Networks is seeking novel ideas in the following topics that include, but not limited to: - Heterogeneous sensor networks - Multi-service sensor networks - Sensor network control - Automated sensing activities - Competing sensors or sensor networks - Collaborating sensors and sensor networks - Semantic-based management of sensor networks - Resource management in sensor networks - Context awareness in sensor networks - Self-organization and self-adaptation in sensor networks - New architectures and protocols for sensor networks - Sensor network maintenance - Intelligent sensors and sensor networks - Data management in sensor networks - Data and resource sharing in sensor networks - Quality of Service in sensor networks - Sustainable sensor networks - Decision Support Systems for Sensor Networks - Virtual Environment for Supporting Sensor Networks - Sensor Networks on the Web - Sensor networks for a sustainable development - Autonomous/Intelligent social sensor networks - Autonomous/Intelligent sensor networks for supporting social networks - Sensor networks for an autonomous/intelligent management of spatial resources - Sensor networks for an autonomous/intelligent risk management - New sensor network applications Important Dates: Submission deadline: July 31st 2009 Acceptance notification: September 5th 2009 Camera ready papers: September 15th 2009 Submission Guidelines: (http://sigappfr.acm.org/MEDES/09/guidelines.php) Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF format.

These tech= niques particularly require sharing the decision-making process over hundre= ds of low-power, short lifetimes sensors. The achievement of this goal is s= till facing an urgent and challenging question on how to provide these spat= ially distributed sensors with reasonable autonomy that help them in perfor= ming the right action, at the right time for the sake of fulfilling current= requirements while increasing the lifetime of the entire sensor network an= d guaranteeing reliable and enduring pathway communications. Automating the= sensor network activities is also an urgent and challenging issue especial= ly that commonly sensing devices are operating unattended in remote and hos= tile areas where manual maintenance is nearly impossible. Since predefined = and late decisions do not help much in improving the efficiency of networke= d sensing devices, automation and autonomy are very important mechanisms in= addressing upcoming developments that target multi-services, collaborating= , or competing sensor networks. To reach these goals, the second Internatio= nal Workshop on Automated and Autonomous Sensor Networks is seeking novel i= deas in the following topics that include, but not limited to:

PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The rapid growth and popularity of networked virtual environments (NVEs) such as Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) in recent years have spawned a series of research interests in constructing large-scale virtual environments. For increasing scalability and decreasing the cost of management and deployment, more and more studies propose using peer-to-peer (P2P) architectures to construct large-scale NVEs for games, multimedia virtual worlds and other applications. The goal of such research is to support an Earth-scale virtual environment or to make hosting virtual worlds more affordable than existing client-server approaches. However, existing solutions for consistency control, persistent data storage, multimedia data dissemination, cheat-prevention, topology mismatching, and virtual world interoperability are not straightforwardly adapted to such new environments. Novel ideas and designs thus are needed to realize the potential of P2P-based NVEs.

It compares and contrasts the use of p2p DHTs used for file-serving applications with those used for realtime communications applications. As a research community, we have a lot of expertise and literature in the former usage of p2p networks, and are developing more expertise in the latter. The draft looks at how existing work in file-serving applications can help us address the issues with realtime communications p2p networks. The draft is in fairly good shape; detailed comments from the review are below. General comments: 1) In the References, please identify the name of the publication wherever appropriate. 2) There are many compound sentences, separated by commas, that can be broken down for readability (for instance, in S7, the second bullet item contains a rather long sentence that is hard to read. I have suggested some alternate text for this in the substantive comments section, but there are other places that the author/editor should pay attention to as well.) Substantive comments: 1) S1, page four: "Once the threat has been identified, admission control is the first step towards security." I do not quite understand this sentence. Is admission control an answer to all p2p security problems? I suspect that it is an answer to an awful lot of problems, but p2p networks can be attacked even after admissions control has granted admission to an attacking peer, no? 2) S1, page four, last paragaph does not read smoothly. There are many qualifiers that detract from comprehension of the paragraph. I would suggest a rewrite as follows (please feel free to edit as you see fit): In the remainder of this document, we outline the main security issues and proposed solutions for P2P systems. Following this, we focus on a particular P2P application: realtime communications. Realtime communications use the same DHTs used by file-sharing applications, however, the data that is saved in these DHTs is different. In realtime communications, the contents stored in the DHTs comprises of user location, the DHT being the substitute for a centralized registration server. From a technical point of view, it appears that realtime communication services are no different than file-sharing services, Table 1 demonstrates that there are sizeable differences related to privacy, availability, and a marked increase in the general security requirements. 3) In Table 1, first row, second column: "...often hundreds or thousands per user." Do you mean "per peer"? I do not know what you mean by "user" here. 4) In Table 1, first row, third column: "...rarely more than one per user." Same comment as above -- I am not sure what you mean by "user". 5) In Table 1, the row "Availability": I am not sure I follow the difference here. Yes, in file-sharing, a file can be replicated at many places in the DHT. This is also true of realtime communications, where a user's location can have many replicas in the DHT. Users are unique, but so are files. An instance of a file may not be unique, any more than an instance of an user is; but the underlying object (user or file) itself is unique. So, given this, I am trying to fathom what role availability plays here in the context of a difference between realtime communications and file-sharing applications. Maybe I am missing something that is not stated there (or it may be stated, but I just don't get it.) 6) S2.3: s/malcontent/malicious content/ 7) S3, last sentence: I think you should note that CAPTCHAs are not a panacea. Visual captchas have been vulnerable to machine learning techniques and have been broken quite easily [2,3]. Audio captchas have suffered the same fate -- 71% of them can be easily identified by an automata [1]. 8) S5.2, I am not sure I follow the sentence "Most reputation management systems proposed in the literature ... are for file-sharing applications." Indeed, that is true of the p2p literature in general, so I am unsure the intent of pointing this out now. That said, are there any novel dynamics that are only applicable to a realtime communication p2p service? If so, it may be worth pointing those out here. In the same paragraph, I am not sure that listing the five design considerations of [Kamvar] adds anything substantive to the discussion, unless, of course you were later to evaluate these with an eye towards realtime communication services in p2p. 9) S7, second bullet item as written is rather long and does not read easily. I would suggest the following rewrite: In file-sharing applications, eavesdropping and identity theft do not constitute real threats; after all, files are supposed to be made publicly available. This is not true in realtime communications, where the privacy and confidentiality of the participants is of paramount importance. Furthermore, the notion of identity plays an important role in realtime communications since it is the basis for starting a communication session. As such, it is essential to have mechanisms to unequivocally assert identities in realtime communication systems. 10) S7.1 is not so much about admission as it is about promotion; i.e., when does a client get promoted to a peer? In traditional file-serving p2p networks, this concept of promotion does not exist. As such, I would consider renaming that section to be something other than "Admission" -- "Peer Promotion" is a good start, for instance. 11) S7.2.1: The targeted denial of service attack described here is no different than it would be if this was a file-sharing p2p network, right? Just curious why you consider it germane to a realtime communications p2p network. Nits: General nit: in many places, the draft uses "et. al"; it should be "et al." 1) S1, break into a new paragraph on the sentence "P2P overlays can be ..." 2) S1, page four 3) S2.1, page six: "However, such attacks are ..." By "such attacks" you mean [D]DoS attacks, or "attacks for monetary gains"? I would suggest you spell out which type of attack you have in mind. 4) S2.1, page 6: s/as botnet),/as botnet)/ 5) S2.1, page 6: s/other incentives, only indirectly/other incentives indirectly/ 6) S2.1, page 6: s/known to attempt polluting/known to have polluted/ 7) S2.2, page 7: s/sybil/Sybil/g 8) S3, paragraph 2: s/The latter,/In the latter case,/ 9) S3, paragraph 2: s/Saxena et. al/Saxena et al./ 10) S4, page 10: s/Yu et al [Yu]./Yu et al. [Yu]/ 11) S6.2: s/log$N$/log(N)/ 12) S7, first sentence: s/boils down to/essentially implies/ 13) S7, last paragraph: s/issues, and security/issues and security/ 14) S7.1.1: s/make it the responsibility of/leave it to the/ 15) S7.2.1: The two instances of "which" in this section should be replaced by "that". The use here is that of a non- restrictive clause (see http://www.kentlaw.edu/academics/lrw/grinker/LwtaThat_Versus_Which.htm for a good writeup on when to which -- or is it when to use what ;-) ) 16) S7.2.4, title: I don't think there is such a word as "signalization". Maybe "signaling" will suffice here? References: [1] Jennifer Tam, Jiri Simsa, Sean Hyde, and Luis von Ahn. Breaking Audio CAPTCHAs. In Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS).

Overlays at IEEE Consumer Comunications and Networking Conference 2010 www.ieee-ccnc.org IEEE CCNC 2010 Jan 9-12 Las Vegas The emergence of peer-to-peer networking enables new applications that require efficient multicast communication. These applications include peercasting of multimedia streams, multi-party conferencing, multi-player games, and group chat. Many consumer applications of multicasting involve small groups of users, content streaming, mobility, hybrid transport and other requirements not considered in previous systems. Due to delayed deployment of native multicast, various end-system, application layer (ALM) and overlay multicast (OM) designs have been proposed. In the future, these protocols are expected to coexist and integrate with native IP multicast protocols while offering more flexible deployment options and scaling to support a greater number of simultaneous multicast groups. In addition these protocols need to adapt to device capabilities and mobility. The goal of this special session is to provide a forum for engineers, architects, and researchers to share knowledge and innovation in hybrid and adaptive P2P multicast techniques. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include (but are not limited to) the following: Peer-to-peer overlays with multicast support Small group multicast Application Layer Multicast (ALM) techniques Hybrid multicasting architectures Comparitive analysis of ALM and OM architectures Scalable integration of QoS mechanisms Adaptive content distribution over P2P overlay multicast Methods for large-scale group formation and discovery Support for highly dynamic group membership Support for mobility in P2P overlay multicast All accepted submissions will be published in the proceedings of IEEE CCNC 2010.

Special Session on Scalable Adaptive Multicast in= P2P Overlays
at IEEE Consumer Comunications and Networking Conference 2= 010
www.ieee-ccn= c.org
IEEE CCNC 2010 Jan=A09-12 Las Vegas

The emergence of peer-to-peer ne= tworking enables new
applications that require efficient multicast commu= nication.
These applications include peercasting of multimedia streams,<= br> multi-party conferencing, multi-player games, and group chat.
Many consu= mer applications of multicasting involve small
groups of users, content = streaming, mobility, hybrid transport
and other requirements not conside= red in previous systems.

Due to delayed deployment of native multicast, various
end-system, a= pplication layer (ALM) and overlay multicast
(OM) designs have been prop= osed. In the future, these protocols
are expected to coexist and integra= te with native IP multicast
protocols while offering more flexible deployment options
and scaling to= support a greater number of simultaneous
multicast groups. In addition = these protocols need to
adapt to device capabilities and mobility.

The goal of this special session is to provide a forum
for engineers= , architects, and researchers to share knowledge
and innovation in hybri= d and adaptive P2P multicast techniques.
We solicit papers covering vari= ous topics of interest that
include (but are not limited to) the following:

Peer-to-peer overlay= s with multicast support
Small group multicast
Application Layer Mult= icast (ALM) techniques
Hybrid multicasting architectures
Comparitive = analysis of ALM and OM architectures
Scalable integration of QoS mechanisms
Adaptive content distribution ove= r P2P overlay multicast
Methods for large-scale group formation and disc= overy
Support for highly dynamic group membership
Support for mobilit= y in P2P overlay multicast

With the increased use of mobile devices connected to the Internet, for example, the need for content and service delivery architectures that consider the unique challenges (e.g., bandwidth limitations and costs, mobility, limited battery life) posed by mobile devices has emerged. Similarly, with rapid advances in broadband at home technology, there is an increased emphasis on realizing IPTV, video-on-demand, and customized content delivery. These issues pose a number of challenging design and performance problems at various levels, including systems, networks, and protocols. This one-day workshop aims at providing a highly interactive forum where researchers, developers and practitioners from academia and industry have the opportunity to present and discuss recent research, developments and future directions regarding the design, implementation, and evaluation of Internet-based architectures and applications. AAA-IDEA 2009 will continue the tradition of the previous AAA-IDEA workshops, held at Orlando (2005) and Pisa (2006), that were successful in providing a forum to exchange ideas and experiences about the faced problems and to discuss innovative solutions. Topics of interest to the workshop include, but are not limited to, performance studies and novel approaches (architectures, algorithms, and protocols) that aim to improve the user experience in accessing emerging as well as traditional Internet-based services and applications. ******************* Topics of Interest ******************* AAA-IDEA 2009 topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Architectures and protocols for content and service delivery - Clean slate Internet architectures - Energy-aware protocols and architectures - Media streaming in wired and wireless systems - Novel Web-based applications - Online social networks and applications - Peer-to-peer systems - Performance measurement and monitoring tools - QoS provisioning and management in wired and wireless systems - Reliability and high availability - Scalable and autonomic Web-based systems - Security and privacy for content delivery - Support for mobile and wireless systems - Workload analysis and characterization ******************************* Submission and Publication ******************************* Authors are encouraged to submit full papers presenting well-developed research results. Short papers that are more speculative in nature, works-in-progress, and position papers are also solicited. All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. All submissions must be in printable PDF format and written in English. Papers must be no longer than 15 pages (9 pages for short papers) in Springer LNICST format, including all figures and references. All paper submissions will be handled electronically through the ASSYST system (http://assyst-online.org/). The program committee will referee all papers. The papers to be presented at the workshop will be selected on the basis of their originality, technical merit, quality of presentation, and topical relevance of their contents. All accepted papers will be published by Springer in the series of ICST Lecture Notes (LNICST). The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered for the workshop in order for that paper to appear in the proceedings and to be scheduled for presentation. More details on Submission/Publication instructions can be found at http://aaa-idea.org/. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Workshop Co-Chairs (cardellini@ing.uniroma2.it, anirban.mahanti@nicta.com.au). ************************* Organizing Committee ************************* Workshop Co-Chairs Valeria Cardellini, University of Roma "Tor Vergata", Italy Anirban Mahanti, NICTA, Australia Publicity Chair Simone Silvestri, University of Roma "La Sapienza", Italy ********************************** Technical Program Committee ********************************** Martin Arlitt, HP Labs, USA Amitabha Bagchi, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, India Niklas Carlsson, University of Calgary, Canada Emiliano Casalicchio, University of Roma "Tor Vergata", Italy Abhishek Chandra, University of Minnesota, USA Lucy Cherkasova, HP Labs, USA Michele Colajanni, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy Jeffrey Erman, AT&T Research, USA Luca Foschini, University of Bologna, Italy Pawel Garbacki, Google, Switzerland Jiangchuan (JC) Liu, Simon Fraser University, Canada Francesco Lo Presti, University of Roma "Tor Vergata", Italy Geyong Min, Bradford University, UK Colin Perkins, University of Glasgow, UK Henrik Petandar, NICTA, Australia Guillaume Pierre, Vrije Universiteit, The Netherlands Paolo Romano, INESC-ID, Portugal Matthew Roughan, University of Adelaide, Australia Bianca Schroeder, University of Toronto, Canada Craig Shue, Oak Ridge National Lab, USA Carey Williamson, University of Calgary, Canada From volkerh@bell-labs.com Fri Jun 26 07:12:11 2009 Return-Path: X-Original-To: p2prg@core3.amsl.com Delivered-To: p2prg@core3.amsl.com Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by core3.amsl.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id A2F533A6956 for ; Fri, 26 Jun 2009 07:12:11 -0700 (PDT) X-Virus-Scanned: amavisd-new at amsl.com X-Spam-Flag: NO X-Spam-Score: -3.147 X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-3.147 tagged_above=-999 required=5 tests=[AWL=-1.768, BAYES_00=-2.599, HELO_EQ_FR=0.35, SARE_MLH_Stock1=0.87] Received: from mail.ietf.org ([64.170.98.32]) by localhost (core3.amsl.com [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) with ESMTP id DB7PL-TO-D4J for ; Fri, 26 Jun 2009 07:12:11 -0700 (PDT) Received: from smail6.alcatel.fr (smail6.alcatel.fr [64.208.49.42]) by core3.amsl.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id AD1493A684F for ; Fri, 26 Jun 2009 07:12:10 -0700 (PDT) Received: from FRMRSSXCHHUB01.dc-m.alcatel-lucent.com (FRMRSSXCHHUB01.dc-m.alcatel-lucent.com [135.120.45.61]) by smail6.alcatel.fr (8.13.8/8.13.8/ICT) with ESMTP id n5QEBv3N007815 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=RC4-MD5 bits=128 verify=NOT); Fri, 26 Jun 2009 16:11:58 +0200 Received: from [149.204.61.29] (135.120.57.7) by FRMRSSXCHHUB01.dc-m.alcatel-lucent.com (135.120.45.61) with Microsoft SMTP Server (TLS) id 8.1.340.0; Fri, 26 Jun 2009 16:11:58 +0200 Message-ID: <4A44D7EE.3050005@bell-labs.com> Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2009 16:15:10 +0200 From: Volker Hilt User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.22 (Windows/20090605) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.57 on 155.132.188.84 Subject: [p2prg] P2P RG Session in Stockholm X-BeenThere: p2prg@irtf.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.9 Precedence: list List-Id: Peer-to-Peer Research Group List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2009 14:12:11 -0000 All, we will have a P2P RG session at the next IETF meeting in Stockholm: https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/75/agenda.html We are currently preparing the agenda for this session.

These techniques particularly require sharing the decision-making process over hundreds of low-power, short lifetimes sensors.

Thanks to t= echnological advances, wired and wireless sensor networks are attracting an= increasing attention that promotes their large-scale deployments in many a= pplications, such as environmental monitoring, military surveillance, and s= cientific exploration. Continuous improvements are motivating works in addr= essing specific sensor network issues spanning hardware, network protocols,= architecture, operating systems, and applications. Furthermore, emergent n= eeds to fulfill a variety of heterogeneous requirements are highlighting th= e importance of multidisciplinary networks that control their processing an= d manage their resources by means of self-organizing techniques. These tech= niques particularly require sharing the decision-making process over hundre= ds of low-power, short lifetimes sensors. The achievement of this goal is s= till facing an urgent and challenging question on how to provide these spat= ially distributed sensors with reasonable autonomy that help them in perfor= ming the right action, at the right time for the sake of fulfilling current= requirements while increasing the lifetime of the entire sensor network an= d guaranteeing reliable and enduring pathway communications. Automating the= sensor network activities is also an urgent and challenging issue especial= ly that commonly sensing devices are operating unattended in remote and hos= tile areas where manual maintenance is nearly impossible.
