Call for paper

The Physical-layer Methods for Wireless Security Workshop will take place during IEEE CNS 2014 in San Francisco, CA, on October 29, 2014. The main goal of this workshop is twofold. First, this workshop will serve as a means of dissemination of physical layer security results that are often confined to the information theory community to a wider audience that IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (CNS) enjoys, e.g., researchers from communications, signal processing and networking communities. Second, this workshop will stimulate interest for research in practical aspects of physical-layer security. This cross-fertilization will benefit not only the physical-layer security research, by attracting a more diverse group of researchers who will come with their rich body of new ideas, but also the CNS community, by presenting a new body of open problems with significant theoretical and practical impact on the design of future wireless communication networks. Previously unpublished contributions in physical-layer security are solicited, including (but not limited to):

Jamming-resistant wireless communications
Practical code design for physical layer security
Secure cross-layer design techniques
Effects of channel state information on secure communications
Jamming-assisted secure wireless transmission
Cooperative secure communications
Secret key agreement and distillation
Secret key capacity of wireless channels
Integration of physical-layer security into wireless systems
Practical and implementation issues

Submitted papers should be of sufficient length and detail for review by experts in the field. Papers should be submitted for review through EDAS. Final papers will be limited to 6 pages in length in the standard IEEE conference paper format. Accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore. For more information, please contact the workshop organizers Lifeng Lai or Ashish Khisti.
