The twenty-second International Workshop on Security Protocols will take place from Wednesday March 19th to Friday March 21st, 2014 at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, England.

As with previous years, attendance at the International Workshop on Security Protocols is by invitation only, and in order to be invited you must submit a position paper. You are therefore encouraged to consider submitting such a paper!

The theme of this year’s workshop is "Collaborating with the Enemy".

Now that all our paranoid dreams of the last twenty years have come true, what shall we wish for next?

It's clear that "attackers'' now control so much of our infrastructure that we cannot achieve any serious distributed service without their cooperation.

Conversely, from their point of view, the same could become the case, but with us cast as the spoilsports.

Is this a zero-sum game, resulting in a straightforward shoving match, or are there security innovations that both parties would have a positive incentive to support?

Additional details of costs and benefits of attending are at: http://spw.feis.herts.ac.uk/.

To be considered for invitation, you must send a first draft of a position paper to James Malcolm (j.a.malcolm@herts.ac.uk, telephone: +44-1707-284-310) by the deadline noted above.

Thank you!
