-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Liebe NETSEC-Mitglieder, Am 19. und 20. April 2016 findet an der Ruhr-Universität Bochum das interdisziplinäre Symposium der Arbeitsgruppe Identitätsschutz im Internet (a-i3) und des Bundesamts für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI) statt. Wie immer wird die aktuelle Angriffslage im Internet technisch und rechtlich diskutiert. Das Programm wurde jetzt um Beiträge zu aktuellen Themen erweitert! "Ransomware" bezeichnet Schadsoftware, mit der Nutzer zur Zahlung eines "Lösegelds" ("ransom") erpresst werden. Dazu werden persönliche Dateien verschlüsselt, versteckt oder gelöscht, verbunden mit dem Angebot, diese nach Zahlung des Lösegeldes wieder herzustellen. Ob dieses Versprechen aber eingehalten wird, ist fraglich. Eine neue Dimension erreichten Ransomware-Angriffe, als 2016 bekannt wurde, dass zwei deutsche und drei amerikanische Krankenhäuser ihre Tätigkeit teilweise einstellen mussten, da sie einem solchen Angriff zum Opfer gefallen waren.Das Thema wird durch den renommierten Experten Ralf Benzmüller, Leiter des G Data Security Labs, sowie durch Tilman Frosch, G Data, erörtert. Am gleichen Tag wird zudem der Gegenstand des aktuellen Streits zwischen Apple und dem FBI diskutiert: Was nützt Sicherheitstechnik mit Hintertüren? Weitere aktuelle Trends: ·Advanced Persistent Threads, referiert durch Frank Boldewin, IT-Security Architekt bei der GAD eG. ·Aktuelle Gesetzgebung: Umsetzung der eIDAS-Verordnung, ein Vortrag aus Sicht der Praxis von Dr. Kim Nguyen, Bundesdruckerei.

CfP: Annual Privacy Forum 2016
by Meiko Jensen 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ========================================================================== Call For Papers Annual Privacy Forum 2016 (http://privacyforum.eu/) bringing research & policy together,7-8 September, Frankfurt am Main Nowadays electronic communication networks and digital services are an essential part of an increasing number of everyday commodities. In the era of automated profiling and electronic surveillance, citizens face a serious threat against their right to privacy and informational self-determination, especially when using the internet and mobile services. The lack of transparency regarding the functionality and interconnection of such services increases the risk of uncontrollable processing of personal data. In this regard, the upcoming Data Protection Regulation will be a useful instrument to protect the privacy of individuals. However, for its successful implementation, this new framework needs to be enforced by proper technologies and encompassed with sustainable business models along with mechanisms to promote privacy awareness and help users to understand the value of their data. ENISA is organizing the 2016 edition of the annual privacy forum, in the light of the upcoming data protection regulation and the European digital agenda. We invite papers covering original work on the technological, economic, legal and societal aspects of the challenges that will come up with the implementation of the new framework. We particularly invite multidisciplinary papers that make it explicit how the presented work can contribute to bridging the gap between research and policy. Moreover, in order to also encourage contributions from policy makers, representatives of competent authorities (such as Data Protection Authorities), industry experts, NGOs and civil society associations, we invite opinion papers from all stakeholders on the above mentioned topics. Opinion papers will reflect the opinion/position of the author(s) on the selected privacy-related topic. Both research and opinion papers should deal with at least one of the following aspects: - Implementation aspects of 'by design' and 'by default' paradigms - Implementation and adoption of PETs in today's digital services - Modelling of data protection and privacy requirements, such as: machine readable representations and automatic evaluation of policies - Enabling transparency: technological and organizational challenges. - Technical solutions for the enforcement and the implications of the subject's right, e.g. right to erasure, access and correction. - Aspects of privacy impact and risk assessment - Technical solutions for data portability - Sustainable business models for privacy friendly online services - Information and consent in online environments: practical solutions and implementations - Privacy awareness, reliability and usability of PETs - Trust services for the protection of personal data - privacy aware trust services (i.e. electronic certificates, signatures, etc.) - Security measures for the protection of personal data - Economics of privacy and personal data Review and Publication All submissions will be thoroughly reviewed by our PC members. We aim at minimal 3 average 4 reviews per Paper. Furthermore, papers will be published in the proceedings of the conference with a publishing house soon to be selected and announced. Important dates Submission of full papers: March 15, 2016 23:59 AoE Notification to author: May 10, 2016 Camera-ready copies: May 31, 2016 APF 2016 taking place on: September 7-8, 2016 in Frankfurt am Main

CfP Workshop Cyberwarfare auf der INFORMATIK 2015
by Prof. Dr. Hannes Federrath 28 Mar '15

28 Mar '15

Workshop „Cyberwarfare“ 1. Oktober 2015 im Rahmen der INFORMATIK 2015 in Cottbus http://www.informatik2015.de Call for Papers --------------- Erstens sind inzwischen mehrere konkrete Fälle von staatlich organisierten Angriffen auf andere Staaten bekannt, zweitens haben spätestens die Snowden-Enthüllungen klar gemacht, dass neben der passiven und aktiven Informationsgewinnung insbesondere auch aktive Angriffe zur Beeinträchtigung von Informations- und Kommunikationssystemen geplant und durchgeführt wurden und werden. Doch nicht nur die Vereinigten Staaten greifen andere Länder an (wobei sie offenbar auch wenig Unterschied zwischen Verbündeten und Gegnern machen), sondern auch umgekehrt werden westliche Staaten und deren Wirtschaft angegriffen (z.B. der Nordkoreanische Angriff auf Sony Pictures Entertainment vom Jahreswechsel 2014/2015, der umgekehrt zu Wirtschaftssanktionen gegen Nordkorea) führte. Der Workshop „Cyberwarfare“ soll etwa Beiträge zu folgenden Fragen liefern: Inwieweit unterscheiden sich staatlich organisierte Cyberangriffe von denen krimineller Organisationen und/oder einzelnen Hackern? - Welche konkreten Gefahren gehen von zwischenstaatlichen Angriffen aus? - Was sind die technischen Mittel für derartige Angriffe? - Welche Kosten und welche Schäden werden durch die Angriffe verursacht? - Können Angriffe gegen nicht-demokratische Staaten ethisch gerechtfertigt sein? - Welche außenpolitische Dimension geht von den Angriffen aus? - Inwieweit tragen Cyberangriffe militärische Züge (Cyberwar)? - Gibt es für diese Form der Cyberwaffen ähnliche Regulierungsmechanismen wie beispielsweise für chemische, biologische oder nukleare Waffen? Die angenommenen Workshop-Beiträge werden im Tagungsband der INFORMATIK 2015 veröffentlicht. Die Autorenrichtlinien und Vorlagen zur Anfertigung von Beiträgen finden sich unter [1] auf der Webseite der INFORMATIK 2015. Termine und Fristen ------------------- 20.04.2015 Einreichungen von Beiträgen für den Workshop 18.05.2015 Entscheidung über die Annahme der Workshopbeiträge 20.06.2015 Einreichung der druckfähigen Workshopbeiträge für die Proceedings Geplanter Ablauf ---------------- Donnerstag, 1.

After the conference, extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in the journal Computers & Security. Those papers will undergo at least one other review round.
