CALL FOR PAPERS
WORKSHOP ON SECURITY AND PRIVACY IN DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT 2001
November 5, 2001
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
held as part of the Eighth ACM Conference on Computer and
Communications Security (CCS-8)
Workshop web site: http://www.star-lab.com/sander/spdrm/
Increasingly the Internet is used for the distribution of digital
goods, including digital versions of books, articles, music and
images. The ease with which digital goods can be copied and
redistributed make the Internet well suited for unauthorized copying,
modification and redistribution. The rapid adoption of new
technologies such as high bandwidth connections and peer-to-peer
networks is accelerating this process.
This workshop will consider technical problems faced by rights holders
(who seek to protect their intellectual property rights) and end
consumers (who seek to protect their privacy and to preserve access
they now enjoy in traditional media under existing copyright law).
Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems are supposed to serve mass
markets, in which the participants have conflicting goals and cannot
be fully trusted. This adversarial situation introduces interesting
new twists on classical problems studied in cryptology and security
research, such as key management and access control. Furthermore,
novel business models and applications often require novel security
mechanisms. Recent research has also proposed new primitives for DRM,
such as hash functions that make it possible to identify content in an
adversarial setting.
The workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting
novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of DRM, as
well as experimental studies of fielded systems. We encourage
submissions from other communities such as law and business that
present these communities' perspectives on technological issues. It is
planned to publish accepted papers in proceedings in the Springer
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following, as
they relate to digital rights management:
access control mechanisms for digital rights
anonymous publishing
architectures for DRM systems
auditing and piracy
broadcast encryption and traitor tracing
business models and their security requirements
electronic commerce protocols
encryption and authentication for multimedia data
fair use
key management in DRM systems
payment mechanisms
peer-to-peer networks
portability of digital rights
privacy and anonymity
privacy-preserving data mining
risk management
robust identification of digital content
security for auctions and other emerging business models for
digital goods
security models
software tamper resistance
tamper resistant hardware and consumer devices
threat and vulnerability assessment
trust management
usability aspects of client software, consumer devices
watermarking and fingerprinting for media and software

PAPER SUBMISSIONS
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have
been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with proceedings. Papers should be at most 18 pages
excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices (using 11-point
font and reasonable margins), and at most 22 pages total. Committee
members are not required to read the appendices and the paper should
be intelligible without them. The paper should start with the title,
names of authors and an abstract. The introduction should give some
background and summarize the contributions of the paper at a level
appropriate for a non-specialist reader. It is planned to publish
accepted papers in proceedings in the Springer Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) series after the workshop. During the
workshop preproceedings will be made available. Final versions are not
due until after the workshop, giving the authors the opportunity to
revise their papers based on discussions during the meeting.
Submissions can be made in Postscript, PDF or MS Word format. To
submit a paper, send a plain ASCII text email to the program chair
(email: sander@intertrust.com) containing the title and abstract of
the paper, the authors' names, email and postal addresses, phone and
fax numbers, and identification of the contact author. To the same
message, attach your submission (as a MIME attachment). Papers must be
received by August 3, 2001. Notification of acceptance or rejection
will be sent to authors no later than September 7, 2001. Authors of
accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at
the workshop. Final versions (due after the workshop) need to comply
with the instructions for authors made available by Springer.
