The ICC 2011 Workshop on Physical-Layer Security will take place on June 5th, 2011 in Kyoto, Japan. The objective of the workshop is to stimulate interest for research in practical and theoretical aspects of physical-layer security, a new, groundbreaking approach to provide security for wireless communication networks by exploiting the unique characteristics of wireless communication channels. The workshop will include two keynote lectures and a panel discussion to foster discussions and cross-fertilization.

Previously unpublished contributions on advanced coding, communication and signal processing techniques to secure wireless communications are solicited, including (but not limited to):

* practical code design for wiretap channels and secret-key agreement;
* fundamental limits of secure communications over wireless channels;
* integration of physical-layer security paradigms in wireless systems;
* new applications of physical-layer security.

Submitted papers should be of sufficient length and detail for review by experts in the field. Final papers will be limited to 5 pages in standard IEEE conference format and will be published at IEEExplore. Author guidelines are available at
