CALL FOR PAPERS AND TUTORIALS PASSWORDS’14 The 7th International Conference on Passwords 8-10 Dec 2014, Trondheim, Norway ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Passwords conference was launched in 2010 as a response to the lack of robustness and usability of current personal authentication practices and solutions. Annual participation has doubled over the past three years. Venue NTNU campus, Trondheim, Norway. Conference Aim The technical and practical problem addressed by the conference is illustrated by the fact that more than half a billion user passwords have been compromised over the last five years, including breaches at internet companies such as Adobe, Twitter, Forbes, LinkedIn, Yahoo, and LivingSocial. Yet passwords, PIN codes, and similar remain the most prevalent method of personal authentication. Clearly, we have a systemic problem. Passwords is the singular conference gathering researchers, password crackers, and enthusiastic experts from around the globe, aiming to better understand the challenges surrounding the methods personal authentication and passwords, and how to adequately solve these problems. The Passwords conference series seek to provide a friendly environment for participants with plenty opportunity to communicate with the speakers before, during, and after their presentations. (https://passwordscon.org/) Scope This call for papers seeks original contributions that present attacks, analyses, designs, applications, protocols, systems, practical experiences, and theory. Submitted papers may include, but are not limited to, the following topics, all related to passwords and personal authentication: Best practice reports Costs and economy Cryptanalytic attacks Cryptographic formal attack models Cryptographic protections Cryptographic protocols Dictionary attacks Digital forensics Gestures and graphical patterns Guessing attacks Hash functions Human factors and behavior Implementations and tests Incident and attack reports Key-stroke dynamics Languages, letters and symbols Management and authorization Markov models Memorability One-time passwords Passphrase techniques Password based encryption Password based key derivation Password based key exchange Password protection Password replacements Passwords and biometrics Performance and scalability Physical traces and smudges Rainbow tables and trade-offs Reset and recovery procedures Side-channel attacks Single sign-on Social engineering Statistical patterns and analyses Time-memory tradeoffs Tokens and devices Usability studies We seek submissions for review in the following three categories: (i) Research Papers (ii) Short papers (iii) Tutorials Instructions for paper submission Accepted papers presented at the workshop will be included in the event proceedings and published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
