Scope

    The Workshop on Secure Network Protocols (NPSec) is a top workshop 
    focusing on cutting-edge research with a broad range of topics 
    related to secure network protocols.  NPSec 2013 is a one-day event 
    held in conjunction with the 21st IEEE International Conference on Network 
    Protocols (ICNP 2013).  NPSec 2013 focuses on two exciting areas related to 
    secure network protocols.  The first focus is on the development and analysis 
    of networking protocols for the secure operation of various network infrastructures,
    including both today's Internet and future Internet architectures, wireless and 
    mobile networking, cloud-based networking, and p2p and overlay networks.
    Papers about new secure protocols, security enhancements to existing protocols, or 
    protocol analysis (such as new attacks on existing protocols) are welcome. 
    The second focus is on employing such secure network protocols to create or 
    enhance network applications, such as those related to online social networking, 
    online gaming, or cloud-based applications.  

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

    Vulnerabilities of existing protocols and applications (both theoretical and case studies), including attacks
    Design of new secure or resilient network protocols 
    Security enhancements to existing networking protocols 
    Deployment study of secure protocols on the Internet (e.g., BGPSEC, DNSSEC, IPSEC)
    Security in future Internet architectures (e.g. Information-centric networking, software-defined networks)
    Secure network protocols for network applications (e.g., online social networking, gaming)
