We thank all attendees for making DISSECT 2017 a great success! We look forward to seeing you all next year!

 

Latest Updates

  • The best paper and poster were awarded to Towards Optimally Resilient Topologies against Optimal Attacks and Privacy-preserving data aggregation in Intelligent Transportation Systems, respectively. Congratulations!

Older News

  • We are pleased to announce that Fernando Ramos, Assistant Professor at University of Lisbon, will deliver a keynote during DISSECT 2017! Dr. Ramos will talk about Sirius, a network virtualization platform that addresses security and dependability limitations of multi-tenant network virtualization platforms, by creating the abstraction of user-centric clouds. During the talk, Dr. Ramos will focus on two technical challenges related to Sirius design, namely isolation and virtual network embedding (VNE). For further information, please click here!
  • We are also pleased to announce that SIDN Labs' Data Scientist Giovane Moura will deliver a keynote during DISSECT 2017! On his keynote, Dr. Moura will discuss about DDoS attacks, why they are becoming bigger, easier to carry out and, consequently, more frequent. For further information, please click here!
  • Authors of the best papers in DISSECT 2017 will be invited to submit an extended version of their papers to a Special Issue of the International Journal on Network Management (IJNM) on Security for Emerging Open Networking Technologies.
  • The paper registration and submission deadlines were extended to January 10th and January 15th, respectively!
  • DISSECT 2017 website is online!

Emerging open networking technologies and paradigms, such as Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), and Programmable Networks, are reshaping the way networks are designed, deployed, and managed. The benefits are manifold, including an unprecedented flexibility for network operation and management, and a favorable environment for delivering innovative network applications and services. However, this paradigm shift brings a multitude of security challenges that have to be addressed in order to provide secure, trustworthy, and privacy-preserving data communication and network services. Addressing these challenges may require not only revisiting existing solutions (e.g., for intrusion detection, privacy preserving, and resilience against attacks), but also designing novel security and resilience schemes tailored to the specific design of open networking technologies and infrastructures.

DISSECT 2017 follows the track of its two previous editions, and will put focus on security issues and challenges arising with the emergence of novel networking technologies and paradigms, towards a secure and integrated management in the cloud and 5G era. The workshop will shed light on new challenges and present state-of-the-art research on the various security aspects of next-generation networking technologies and service management frameworks.

DISSECT will offer a venue for bringing together students, researchers, and professionals from academia and industry sharing common interest on security challenges related to the design and management of the distributed networks and infrastructures. DISSECT is intended to (1) discussing these challenges as well as future trends on security management, (2) present and discuss work-in-progress security-related research on cutting-edge technologies, and (3) strengthening collaboration and research ties among peers.

Topics of Interest

The industry and academia research community will be invited to contribute with manuscripts describing novel, work-in-progress research on the design of solutions to relevant security issues on a wide variety of next generation networking technologies. The topics of interest of the workshop include, but are not limited to

  • Secure and resilient design and deployment of open networking technologies
  • Privacy-preserving solutions
  • Security models and threats
  • Security and privacy properties and policies
  • Verification and enforcement of security properties
  • Trust and identity management
  • NFV-based security functions and services
  • Security of software-defined infrastructures, protocols and interfaces
  • Threat modeling
  • Security and availability management
  • Security for Internet of Things
  • Intrusion detection, tolerance, and prevention
  • Network forensics and auditing
  • Detection and resilience against large-scale distributed attacks
  • Security of programmable components
  • Security-related business and legal aspects
  • Security challenges and trends for open networking technologies
  • Secure programmable data plane
