*** CALL FOR PAPERS ***


As wireless and mobile networking becomes ubiquitous, security and privacy
become increasingly critical. The focus of the ACM Conference on Security and
Privacy in Wireless and Mobile Networks (ACM WiSec) is on exploring
vulnerabilities, threats, and attacks in wireless communications and the
techniques needed to address them. Settings of interest include cellular,
metropolitan, mesh, local-area, personal-area, home, vehicular, sensor,
ad hoc, satellite, cognitive radio, RFID, and underwater networks as well
as systems using non-RF wireless communication.

The conference is soliciting contributions to topics including
but not limited to:

* Key management in wireless/mobile environments
* Secure services (neighbor discovery, localization, etc.)
* Secure PHY and MAC protocols
* Trust establishment
* Intrusion, attack, and malicious behavior detection
* Denial of service
* User and location privacy
* Anonymity, unobservability, prevention of traffic analysis
* Identity theft and phishing in mobile networks
* Charging & secure payment
* Cooperation and mitigating non-cooperative behavior
* Economics of wireless security
* Vulnerability and attack modeling
* Incentive-aware secure protocol design
* Jamming/Anti-jamming communication
* Cross-layer design for security
* Monitoring and surveillance
* Cryptographic primitives for wireless communication
* Theoretical foundations and formal methods for wireless security and privacy
* Security and privacy of mobile OS and mobile applications
* Secure delay- and disruption-tolerant networking
* Secure non-RF wireless communication (e.g., ultrasound, vision, laser)
* Security/privacy in wireless smart grid and smart metering applications
* Security/privacy in wireless network coding
* Security/privacy in wireless/ephemeral social networking
* Security/privacy in mobile/wireless cloud services

The proceedings of ACM WiSec are published by the ACM.

Submissions to WiSec 2012 can be up to 12 pages in the ACM conference style
and must be thoroughly anonymized for double-blind reviewing. Detailed submission
instructions will appear on the conference website
(http://www.sigsac.org/wisec/WiSec2012/).

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is a policy of the ACM
(http://www.acm.org/pubs/rights.html) 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.
