Wireless technologies have a great impact on communication technologies. Besides the very obvious benefits, such as portability, availability and flexibility, the wireless technologies encompass many security threats.

The objective of the WiNetSec2009 Workshop, held in conjunction with the International Conference on Ultra Modern Telecommunications - ICUMT 2009, is to discuss and exchange cutting-edge research results regarding new attack methods on wireless networks, techniques to thwart them, as well as the privacy issues which arise from the implementation and operation of specific wireless technologies.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Approaching for addressing vulnerabilities and modeling attacks
  • Key management in wireless systems
  • Secure neighbor discovery and localization
  • Trust management in wireless networks
  • Intrusion detection, intrusion prevention
  • DoS (Denial of Service)
  • Secure mobile PHY/MAC protocols
  • Protection against malicious parties
  • Cryptography requirements for wireless security
  • Anonymity and untraceability
  • User privacy and location privacy
  • Wireless availability and quality of service
  • Phishing in wireless networks
  • Wireless devices monitoring
  • Platforms for Wireless security management
  • Jamming/anti
  • jamming communication
  • Cross
  • layer design for security in wireless networks

ICUMT is an IEEE sponsored annual international conference providing an open forum for researchers, engineers, network planners and service providers in telecommunications targeted on newly emerging systems, standards, services, and applications. ICUMT is positioned as a premier international annual conference for the presentation of original and fundamental research and engineering results.

The aim of ICUMT is to bring together Russian and international players in telecommunications. The conference will consist of open call sessions, workshops and industrial panels.

The ICUMT 2009 is supported by the Popov Society and Government of St.Petersburg and regarded as very important part of scientific life of Russia. The conference has strong industrial support from worldwide leading telecommunication vendors as well as national companies and SMEs.
