Overview
The complexity and sophistication of security threats are expected to increase further in the near future. Existing security solutions might soon become useless in the face of attacks that will most likely be launched from many computers at once (for example, the use of large botnets). An appropriate answer to such threats should rely on collaborative methods that harness the collective strength of many independent units. When it comes to defending against a given threat, different end-units as well as entire networks are essentially performing the same work redundantly. As a result, the need to share knowledge (for accelerating detection and response to new attacks and threats) and resources (increasing efficiency and reducing resources consumption) becomes clear. The workshop aims to bring to the forefront innovative approaches that involve the use of collaborative methods for privacy and security. While the workshop will touch on themes that are at the heart of the USENIX Security Symposium, discussion will focus on the boundary between collaborative algorithms and swarm intelligence and the implementation domains of networking, privacy, and security. Co-located with the 19th USENIX Security Symposium in Washington, DC, CollSec '10 will be a one-day event on Tuesday, August 10, 2010. Accepted papers will be published electronically. Attendance at the workshop will be open to the public. The workshop will feature an award for the best paper. Workshop Topics Proposed topics for the workshop include but are not limited to the following: Collaborative detection of distributed network attacks Peer-to-peer–based security mechanisms Adversarial abuse of collaborative security mechanisms Anti-epidemic network vaccination Efficient implementation of security and privacy algorithms through sharing knowledge and resources Increasing energy efficiency through collaboration in network security Use of low complexity property testing methods by decentralized security agents Collaboration in future Internet security and privacy layers Novel collaborative network architectures for increased security and privacy Trust and authentication in collaborative environments Collaboration-aware network protocols: security and privacy aspects Collaborative privacy management: access controls and permissions Decentralized, trusted third-party approaches and methods Intrusion detection in collaborative and cloud computing environments Security configuration based on social context groups (social firewall, authentication protocols, etc.) Security algorithms inspired by human social-cooperation interactions Providing security and privacy for social overlay networks Configuring security protocol parameters based on social and cooperative information |
