The 1st International Workshop on Information Assurance in Wireless Sensor Networks (IAWSN-09) will take place in conjunction with the 3rd International Conference on Information Security and Assurance, Seoul, Korea http://www.sersc.org/ISA2009.

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is an emerging research field with several interesting application domains ranging from battlefield monitoring to environmental observation. The primary domains for sensor deployment are: military, ecological, health related, and some miscellaneous applications like car theft detection, inventory control, habitat monitoring, home applications. Secure communication in sensor networks is the biggest constraint in the successful deployment of sensors. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Authentication and access control
Secure coding for WSNs
MAC and link layer security protocol
Primitives for cryptographic protocols
Secure system engineering
Secure routing and transport protocols
Secure data aggregation
Secure information processing
Key management
Secure bootstrapping
Secure group communication
Trust Management
Intrusion detection
Threat Models & countermeasures
Secure real-world applications
Secure localization & synchronization
Security policy & enforcement issues
Incentive-aware secure protocol design
Jamming/anti-jamming communication
Cross-layer design for security
Formal methods for WSN security
Resilient revocation mechanism
Mobile platform and systems security

Paper Submission

Every submitted paper will be carefully reviewed by at least two members of the International Program Committee. Authors should submit paper with no more than 6 pages length as an attachment (in PDF or doc format) by email to the workshop chair at firdouskausar@mcs.edu.pk and ayeshanaureen@mcs.edu.pk.

Authors should use IEEE double column format. The suggested instructions to follow for the IEEE format are available at http://www.ieee.org/portal/pages/pubs/transactions/stylesheets.html

All accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings published by IEEE CS (indexed by EI). Distinguished papers that have been presented at IAWSN-09 will be selected for publication in Special Issue of the International Journals http://www.sersc.org/ISA2009/issues.php
