Formal foundations for computer security have emerged in recent years, including the formal specification and analysis of security protocols, programming languages, access control systems, and their applications. A particular aspect of security is personal privacy, which may be threatened whenever users interact with services and devices which are not directly under their control. From a user's point of view, privacy is often seen as a part of security; but from a service provider's point of view, privacy and security are often opposites that have to be balanced with each other.

FCS-PrivMod aims to bring together international reserachers from industry and academia in formal methods, computer security, and privcay, to develop advances and new perspectives in security and privacy models and analysis. It comprises the FCS workshop (Foundations of Computer Security), a satellite of LICS since 2002, and PrivMod (Privacy: Models & Analysis), a new workshop specifically about privacy-supporting protocols and systems.

We are interested both in new results in theories of computer security and privacy and also in more exploratory presentations that examine open questions and raise fundamental concerns about existing theories, as well as in new results on developing and applying automated reasoning techniques and tools for the formal specification and analysis of security protocols. We thus solicit submissions of papers both on mature work and on work in progress. Because FCS-PrivMod is not published in archival form, we also welcome papers that overlap with papers recently or simultaneously submitted for publication. In such cases, overlaps should be clearly cited and the potential to generate interesting discussion at the workshop will be a factor in the selection process.


Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Submissions should be at most 15 pages (a4 paper, 11pt), including references in the Springer LNCS style available at the URL http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

The cover page should include title, names of authors, co-ordinates of the corresponding author, an abstract, and a list of keywords. Submissions that are clearly too long may be rejected immediately. Additional material intended for the referees but not for publication in the final version - for example details of proofs - may be placed in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page limit.

Authors are invited to submit their papers electronically, as portable document format (pdf) or postscript (ps); please, do not send files formatted for word processing packages (e.g., Microsoft Word or Wordperfect files). The only mechanism for paper submissions will be through the

Informal proceedings will be made available in electronic format and they will be distributed to all participants of the workshop.
 

Participation to the workshop will be open to anybody willing to register.
