For nearly two decades, CSFW has brought together a small group of researchers to examine foundational issues in information security. Many seminal papers and techniques were first presented at CSFW.

We are interested both in new theoretical results in computer security and also in more exploratory presentations that examine open questions and raise fundamental concerns about existing theories. Panel proposals are welcome as well as papers. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

Authentication Information flow Security protocols Anonymity and Privacy Electronic voting Network security

Access control Trust and trust management Security models Intrusion detection Data and system integrity Database security

Distributed systems security Security for mobile computing Executable content Decidability and complexity Formal methods for security Language-based security

For background information, see the CSFW home page. This year's workshop will be held in Aix-en-Provence, France. Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press will be available at the workshop. Selected papers will be invited for submission to the Journal of Computer Security.

Workshop Location

Aix (pronounced ecks) was founded as Aquae Sextia in the year 122 BC. In 1182, the Counts of Provence took Aix as their home, and the city was known for its refined and literate court. In 1409, a university was founded by Louis XI that counts nowadays 40000 students. The city still radiates the joie de vivre and gentle grace of a medieval town. The city offers a number of markets and small museums including Cézanne's Atelier. In July, the city hosts a major opera festival.

Aix is 30 minutes by shuttle from the Marseille-Provence Airport which offers direct connections to most European hubs. Fast trains (TGV) run from Paris to Aix in three and a half hours.

Instructions for Participants

Papers should be submitted using the two-column IEEE Proceedings style available for various document preparation systems at IEEE-CS Press. Papers in this style should be at most 12 pages long, not counting bibliography and well-marked appendices. Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and so the paper should be intelligible without them. Alternatively, papers can be in Springer LLNCS style. In LLNCS style papers must be at most 20 pages long excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices. The page limit will be strictly adhered to.

The paper submission website is now open. Click the URL http://continue.cs.brown.edu/servlets/csfw05/submit.ss to submit a paper. If for any reason you cannot conform to those submission guidelines, please contact the program chair. Papers should be submitted in Postscript or Portable Document Format (PDF). Papers submitted in a proprietary word-processor format such as Microsoft Word cannot be considered. At least one coauthor of each accepted paper is expected to attend CSFW-18 to present the paper.

Proposals for panels should be no more than five pages in length and should include possible panelists and an indication of which of those panelists have confirmed participation.
