[VOIPSEC] 1st IEEE workshop on VoIP Management and Security (VoIP MaSe) - CFP

[Saverio Niccolini]

[apologize if you receive multiple copies]

Hi all,

since I think this could be of interest to the list I am forwarding it
here. We are organizing a workshop (together with Henning Schulzrinne
and Radu
State) on VoIP Management and Security (VoIP MaSe).

The workshop is going to be in Vancouver, Canada next year just before
the NOMS 2006 conference (April 2006).

If you want to submit something check the CFP.

Feel free to distibute it to your colleagues working in this area.

 Call for papers

 The recent wave of VoIP deployment and its take-off as a pragmatic
solution
 for cost effective communication alternative is challenged by major
security
 and management requirements.  VOIP networks are potential targets for
 multiple attack vectors - SPAM over Internet telephony, denial of
service,
 call hijacking, and fraudulent usage - for which  the current defense
 solutions are still incumbent .
 New conceptual paradigms and practical short term solutions for
assuring and
 managing VOIP are demanded from both the research community and the
 operational actors.
 The VOIP workshop, to be held in conjunction with NOMS 2006, covers the
 security and management issues in VOIP networks.  Research papers on
VOIP
 security, management, state of the art introduction to VOIP security
and
 management, operational experience and ongoing research activities are
 encouraged to be submitted.  Papers covering the following list of
topics as
 well as related issues are encouraged for submission to the workshop.
 
 Topics:
 - Management and security issues in VoIP systems
 - Intrusion prevention and detection techniques and algorithms for VoIP
networks
 - Active response mechanisms for defending VoIP networks
 - Security assessment and vulnerability discovery for VoIP
 - Security management for VoIP deployments
 - Issues and challenges in VOIP management and operations
 - Peer-to-peer management and configuration for VoIP
 - Peer-to-peer security issues for VoIP deployments
 - SPAM over Internet telephony (SPIT) detection and prevention in VoIP
networks
 - Experience and position papers on VoIP operations and deployment
 - Enterprise security policies for VoIP
 - Enterprise and carrier network architectures for managing secure VoIP
 - Session Border Control management and security features
 - Security issues with NAT traversal mechanisms
 - Management of NAT traversal techniques for VoIP
 - Management and security issues for IMS architectures
 - Management and security issues for NGN architectures
