Light Blue Touchpaper

If you need an incentive for writing up some cool security stuff you did recently, note that the deadline for paper submissions to PerSec 2007 is in just over a week, 2006-09-24.

PerSec 2007 is the Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Pervasive Computing and Communication Security, to be held in conjunction with IEEE PerCom in March 2007 in New York City.

I am on the program committee for the Workshop on Privacy in the Electronic Society (WPES), held in Alexandria, VA, USA on October 30, 2006. It is co-located with ACM Computer and Communication Security (CCS).

WPES discusses the problems of privacy in the global interconnected societies and possible solutions. We are looking for submissions from academia and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of electronic privacy, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems.

We encourage submissions from other communities such as law and business that present these communities’ perspectives on technological issues.

The deadline for submissions is June 2, 2006.

Further details can be found in the call for participation [PDF].
