Call for papers:

Internet-connected computers are constantly exposed to a variety of possible
attacks through exploits, social engineering, password cracking, and
malicious software. Networks allow intruders to reach a large number of
potential targets quickly and remotely with relatively low risk of
traceability. Public attention on cyber attacks has grown with post-9/11
concerns over vulnerabilities of critical infrastructures and new
regulations increasing accountability of organizations for loss of private
data. Concerns have also been heightened by the prevalence of hidden spyware
and bots among PC users.

Existing network-based intrusion detection methods depend on monitoring
traffic and detecting evidence of attacks through known signatures or
anomalous traffic behavior. However, intruders are continually changing
their techniques to try new attack vectors and new ways to evade defenses.
Network intrusion detection is challenged to adapt with new capabilities to
recognize and respond to current attack methods.

The goal of this special issue of IEEE Network is to share new research
developments in network intrusion detection. Papers should add to current
understanding of new attack vectors, advances in packet collection and
analysis, and state-of-the-art techniques for recognizing, tracing, and
responding to attacks. Papers should contain substantial tutorial content
and be understandable to a broad general audience, not only security
experts. Topics of interest include:
* novel attacks and exploits
* novel methods for traffic data collection and anomaly detection
* network forensic techniques and best practices
* intrusion prevention systems
* deep packet inspection and classification at very high speeds/throughputs
* event correlation
* attack traceback and router support
* automatic signature generation
* detection of low intensity stealthy intrusions

Manuscript Submissions:

Prospective contributors should refer to the IEEE Network author guidelines
at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/authors.html for information about
content and formatting of submissions. Submitted papers must be original
work and must not be under consideration for publication in other venues.
Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete papers via e-mail to
the guest editors.
