The international workshop iNetSec 2011 – Open Problems in Network Security—
is dedicated to open problem and research directions on all aspects related to
network security. It is the main workshop of working group WG 11.4 of the
IFIP. This year, iNetSec was co-located with IFIP SEC 2011 in Lucerne on June
9 and shared with it the keynote talk by the Kristian Beckman award-winner
Ann Cavoukian.
Originally, iNetSec was run in the traditional format where research papers
get submitted, peer-reviewed, and then presented at the workshop. Since 2009,
the format was changed to discuss open research problems and directions in
network security. To enable this open workshop style yet remain focused on
particular topics, we called for two page abstracts in which the authors were
asked to outline an open research problem or direction. This year, we received
28 short submissions. Each of them was independently reviewed by six Program
Committee members with a focus on the relevance and suitability for discussion.
After a round of discussion in the Program Committee, 12 papers were selected
for presentation at the workshop. For these presentations almost the same time
was given to discussions as for presentations. After the workshop, the authors
submitted a full paper that also takes the discussion into account. These papers
are in the proceedings you are now holding in your hands. We hope that they
will serve as a source of inspiration for new research.
We thank the authors of all submissions for enabling the workshop and the
presenters and all participants for making it a success with their lively contributions!
We also thank the local organizers Carlos Rieder, Colette Hofer-
Sch¨urmann, and Fabia Bommes for making our stay in Lucerne such a pleasure. |
