Network and Internet security has become a crucial requirement for both users and service providers. The Internet is a commercial infrastructure where sensitive and confidential personal and business data are carried over public networks. Although security is often treated as an afterthought, this attitude is changing. Security within an application needs to be considered as a fundamental element of the application. Security is often viewed as a one-size-fits-all paradigm, but this is difficult to sustain due to the eclectic collection of communications mediums that compose the Internet infrastructure. The danger of a cookie-cutter strategy is that security will contend with performance since it is not suited to the environment. As the QoS requirements of applications and the physical layer properties internetworking become more diverse, agile but robust and consistent security solutions are needed. This is difficult, since custom solutions typically have difficulty surviving in a mass market, yet flexibility is needed for security use to become ubiquitous.
We are interested in tutorial-oriented research papers that describe real services, software systems and experiments. Work-in-progress papers describing the state of on-going research projects in Internet security are encouraged. Research papers should demonstrate the feasibility of the approach and describe the state of realization. Case studies and applied papers should discuss the key factors that made the system work and should also mention the pitfalls and problems encountered and how they may be overcome. 
Topics of interest include:
* Intrusion detection			- Data integrity
* Authentication 				- Security verification
* Mobile code and agent security		- Security protocols
* Privacy and anonymity			- Policy modeling
* Key management				- Commercial security
* Access control and Firewalls		- Electronic commerce
* Wireless, mobile network security	- Security management
* Secure multicasting
