Call for Papers

CMS 2014 is the 15th Conference in the "Communications and Multimedia Security" series. The series is a joint effort of the IFIP Technical Committees TC6 (Communication Systems) and TC11 (Security and Privacy Protection in Information Processing Systems).

The conference provides a forum for engineers and scientists in information security. Both state-of-the-art issues and practical experiences as well as new trends in these areas will be once more the focus of interest just like at preceding conferences.

Continuing the last years’ trend, this year the conference will maintain the focus in security and privacy issues in mobile contexts, web services (including social networking) and ubiquitous environments. We solicit papers describing original ideas and research results on topics that include, but are not limited to:

• applied cryptography
• biometrics
• forensics
• secure documents and archives
• multimedia systems security
• digital watermarking
• distributed DRM policies
• attack resistant rendering engines
• adaptive anomaly detection
• censorship resistance
• risk management
• mobility and security/privacy
• mobile identities
• privacy enhanced identity management
• security/privacy policies and preferences
• social networks security/privacy
• security/privacy in geo-localized applications
• security/privacy in VoIP
• security policies (including usage control)
• web services security
• economics of network and information security (NIS)
• SOA security
• ubiquitous and ambient computing security
• cloud computing security/privacy
• wireless and ad hoc network security
• RFID tags and (multimedia) sensor nodes security
• security technology effectiveness
• incentivizing security
• eID exploitation
• e-Government security

All accepted papers will be published by LNCS Series of Springer Verlag.

The most outstanding full paper, presented at the conference, will receive a “Best Paper Award”.

The conference will also host a poster session. Posters will be refereed by the PC and will be published in the proceedings as extended abstracts.
