The working group WG 11.4 of IFIP ran an iNetSec conference a few times in the past, sometimes together with IFIP security conference, sometimes as a stand-alone workshop with a program selected from peer-reviewed submissions. When we were elected to chair WG 11.4 we asked ourselveswhether the security and also the computer science community at large bene?ts from this workshop. In particular,as there aremany (too many?) securityconferences, it has become di?cult to keep up with the ?eld. After having talked to many colleagues, far too many to list all of them here, we decided to try a di?erent kind of workshop: one where people would attend to discuss open research topics in our ?eld, as typically only happens during the co?ee breaks of ordinary conferences. Toenablethiswecalledforabstractsof2pageswheretheauthorsoutlinethe open problems that they would like to discuss at the workshop, the intent being that the author would be given 15 minutes to present the topic and another 15 minutes for discussion. These abstracts were then read by all members of the Program Committee and ranked by them according to whether they thought thiswouldleadtoaninterestingtalk and discussion. We then simply selected the abstracts that got the best rankings. We were happy to see this result in many really interesting talks and disc- sions in the courseof the workshop.Ofcourse,these lively anddirect discussions are almost impossible to achieve in a printed text. Still, we asked the authors to distill the essence of these discussions into full papers. The results are in your hands.

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the IFIP WG 11.4 International Workshop, iNetSec 2010, held in Sofia, Bulgaria, in March 2010. The 14 revised full papers presented together with an invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected during two rounds of refereeing. The papers are organized in topical sections on scheduling, adversaries, protecting resources, secure processes, and security for clouds.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the IFIP WG 11.4 International Workshop on Open Problems in Network Security, iNetSec 2015, held in Zurich, Switzerland, in October 2015. iNetSec is the main workshop of the IFIP working group WG 11.4; its objective is to present and discuss open problems and new research directions on all aspects related to network security. The 9 revised full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 13 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: network security; intrusion detection; anonymous communication; and cryptography.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the IFIP WG 11.4 International Workshop on Open Problems in Network Security, iNetSec 2011, held in Lucerne, Switzerland, in June 2011, co-located and under the auspices of IFIP SEC 2011, the 26th IFIP TC-11 International Information Security Conference. The 12 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 28 initial submissions; they are fully revised to incorporate reviewers' comments and discussions at the workshop. The volume is organized in topical sections on assisting users, malware detection, saving energy, policies, and problems in the cloud.

Supplying a comprehensive introduction to next-generation networks, Building Next-Generation Converged Networks: Theory and Practice strikes a balance between how and why things work and how to make them work. It compiles recent advancements along with basic issues from the wide range of fields related to next generation networks. Containing the contributions of 56 industry experts and researchers from 16 different countries, the book presents relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest research. It investigates new technologies such as IPv6 over Low Power Wireless Personal Area Network (6LoWPAN) architectures, standards, mobility, and security. Presenting the material in a manner that entry-level readers can easily grasp the fundamentals, the book is organized into five parts: Multimedia Streaming—deals with multimedia streaming in networks of the future—from basics to more in-depth information for the experts Safety and Security in Networks—addresses the issues related to security, including fundamental Internet and cyber-security concepts that will be relevant in any future network Network Management and Traffic Engineering—includes coverage of mathematical modeling-based works Information Infrastructure and Cloud Computing—integrates information about past achievements, present conditions, and future expectations in information infrastructure-related areas Wireless Networking—touches on the various aspects of wireless networks and technologies The text includes coverage of Internet architectures and protocols, embedded systems and sensor networks, web services, Cloud technologies, and next-generation wireless networking. Reporting on the latest advancements in the field, it provides you with the understanding required to contribute towards the materialization of future networks. This book is suitable for graduate students, researchers, academics, industry practitioners working in the area of wired or wireless networking, and basically anyone who wants to improve his or her understanding of the topics related to next-generation networks.
