NASSUE 2010 is focused on network assurance and security (NAS) measure, which has become an important research issue in ubiquitous environments (UE). The objective of this workshop is to provide an effective forum for original scientific and engineering advances in NAS issues in UE. It will highlight the various aspects of NAS - especially on the crucial linkage between availability, compliance, and security. NASSUE 2010 aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, developers, and policy makers to share and exchange ideas and to learn about latest developments, problems and solutions related to NAS issues in UE.

Topics (include but are not limited to the following)

- Availability, dependability, survivability, & resilience issues in UE
- Authentication, Authorization, Access control & ID management in UE
- Redundancy, fault-tolerant models, and failure prevention of UCS
- Trust modeling and management in UE
- Risk assessment and management in UE
- Network security issues and protocols in UCS
- Cryptographic protocols and key management in UCS
- Cross-layer design for security mechanisms
- Network control technologies for NA.
- Novel threat, attacks, vulnerabilities, countermeasures
- Reverse engineering of malicious code
- Intrusion detection, IDS / IPS in UE
- Anonymity, user privacy, and location privacy in UE
- Content protection and DRM for UCS
- System/network management techniques and strategies in UE.
- Network forensics and fraud detection
- Surveillance and Privacy-enhancing technologies in UE
- Adaptive and Autonomic security for UCS
- Role of biometrics in UE
- NAS issues in e-commerce, e-government, e-health
- NAS business models and NAS implementations in UE
- Specification, design, development, and deployment of NAS mechanisms
- Models, architectures, protocols for NAS
- Standards, guidelines and certification for NAS in UE
- Formal methods and software engineering for NAS
- Legal, ethical and policy issues related to NAS in UE
- Proactive approaches to NAS
- New ideas and paradigms for NAS in UE
