Submissions must not be concurrently under review by a conference, journal or any other venue that has proceedings. All submissions will be refereed by the program committee.  Papers that have a student as the primary author or first co-author will be considered for a best student paper award.  Accepted papers of particular merit will be considered for a special issue of Springer International Journal of Information Security. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Authors should prepare a PostScript or PDF version of their full paper. All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers.  Authors’ names must not appear in the paper or in the PostScript or PDF file.  Complete paper submission instructions will be available at the conference website.  The paper submission deadline is February 21, 2005.

Workshop proposals should not exceed 3 pages, including biographical sketches of the main organizers. Potential workshop organizers should submit proposals to the Workshops Co-Chairs by January 22, 2005.

RESEARCH DEMOS: Informal proposals for research demos are solicited. Proposals will be reviewed and selection will be made based on the perceived value to the research community and interest level for the conference attendees. Proposals should not exceed 3 pages and should include: the focus area, technologies involved, specific equipment to be used, demo layout and space required. Please submit proposals to the Research Demos Chair(s) by February 21, 2005.  Travel grants, sponsored by NSF, are available to partially support travel expenses for demo teams from US-based institutions.

Student Travel Grants: Student Travel Grants, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, are available for graduate students studying at US universities. Details will be made available shortly.
