                            Call for Papers


	      The Privacy and Security Research Group Workshop on
                   Network and  Distributed System Security

                             Cosponsored by

            		 The Internet Society
                                   and
	            Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

Goal

The goal of this workshop is to bring together individuals who have built, are
building, or will soon build software and hardware concerned with the provision
of network or distributed system security services. It is intended to be a
forum for those interested mainly in practical aspects of network and
distributed system security, rather than in theory. Topics for the workshop
include, but are not limited to :

  o  Authentication in distributed systems.
  o  Authorization in distributed systems.
  o  Accountability in distributed systems.
  o  Compromise containment in distributed systems.
  o  Security requirements and mechanisms of distributed applications such as
     email, file transport, remote file access, directory services,
     time synchronization, interactive terminal sessions, remote data base
     management and access, routing, teleconferencing, network management,
     boot services, mobile computing, and remote I/O.
  o  The use of cryptography to provide distributed system security services.
  o  Tradeoffs in locating security services at particular levels in a protocol
     hierarchy.
  o  Implementation of discretionary and mandatory access control services
     in distributed systems.
  o  Interaction between physical, operational, personnel and computational
     procedures and mechanisms to ensure security in a distributed system .
  o  The provision of security in large global-scale distributed systems.
  o  The interplay between distributed system security mechanisms
     and other goals, such as efficiency, availability, interoperability,
     resource sharing, fault tolerance, and cost-effectiveness.

Please submit extended abstracts approximately 1000 words in length describing
original work by September 15, 1992. Authors are requested to make abstract
submissions via email, unless this is absolutely impossible, in which case
submissions should be sent via surface mail.  Receipt of email submissions
will be acknowledged by email. PLEASE INCLUDE AN EMAIL AND SURFACE MAIL ADDRESS
