Welcome to D-SPAN 2010, the First International Workshop on Data Security and PrivAcy in wireless Networks (D-SPAN). The workshop focuses on defining novel problems and developing novel techniques for data security and privacy issues in wireless and mobile networks. With the emergence of data-intensive wireless networks such as wireless sensor networks and data-centric mobile applications such as location-based services, the traditional boundaries between these three disciplines are blurring. This workshop solicits papers from two main categories: (1) papers that consider the security and privacy of data collection, transmission, storage, publishing, and sharing in wireless networks broadly defined, e.g., MANET, cellular, vehicular, ad hoc, cognitive, as well as sensor networks, and (2) papers that use data analytics techniques to address security and privacy problems in wireless networks. The workshop provides a venue for researchers to present new ideas with impact on three communities –wireless networks, databases, and security.

The list of topics includes, but not limited to,

• Fundamental theory of a security network science

• Key exchange, distribution and management in wireless networks

• Location privacy in wireless networks

• Secure data collection and aggregation for wireless sensor networks

• Secure data collection in body-area networks

• Secure data processing in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET)

• Secure query processing over wireless sensor networks

• Security and privacy of RFID systems

• Security and privacy for data streaming

• Security for cognitive radio networks

• Tradeoffs between Security and Communication Performance


Submission

We welcome original, unpublished manuscripts for 6-pages papers inclusive of all references and figures. Papers should report completed results. Vision papers and descriptions of work-in-progress are also welcomed as short paper submissions (4 pages). Papers must be written in English, and formatted according to the WoWMoM proceeding format. All accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Consequently, each accepted paper needs to have a registration to the conference (no-show will result in exclusion of the paper from the IEEE Digital Library).
