Privacy, Intrusion Detection, and Response

CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS Proposal Submission Deadline: December 30, 2009 Privacy, Intrusion Detection, and Response: Technologies for Protecting Networks A book edited by Dr. Peyman Kabiri Iran University of Science and Technology, School of Computer Engineering, Iran To be published by IGI Global: http://www.igi-global.com/requests/details.asp?ID=743 Third CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS Introduction For a long time, network security has been known to be mainly about the encryption/decryption techniques. In the past decade, network security has gradually but surely moved towards securing the network environment rather than just the stored or transferred data. Increased interest on the intrusion detection together with prevention and response proves that protecting the data either in the storage or during the transfer is necessary, but not sufficient, for the security of a network. It is very important to secure network resources and to prevent attacks on the network. Correct and timely response is an important issue in this area of research that may help us to protect networks against intrusion attempts. Privacy of the users made use of the networks, especially the Internet, something to worry about. Many researchers have focused their research on improving the privacy on the net. Nevertheless, this issue is still unsolved and data collection from the network users, in particular Internet users, is still an unsolved problem. Objective of the Book This book aims to explore the latest practices and research works in the area of privacy, intrusion detection, and response. The intention is to prepare a collection of articles presenting new and unpublished works in this area. The book intends to provide a collection of novel ideas, theories, and solutions in the areas related to the aforementioned research area. Target Audience This book aims to satisfy the needs of researchers, academics, and practitioners working in the field of privacy, intrusion detection, and response. Technical people, such as network security officers, administrators, and application developers, who may need in depth knowledge of the concepts targeted in this book, may also need to read this book. Research institutes in the area of network security and educational institutes with graduate level courses on network security or school of computer science/engineering of the universities can use this book as a reference. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: - Intrusion Detection, Prevention, and Response Systems (IDPRS): Any parts of IDPRS in either host-based or network-based for different types of networks (e.g., Wired, Ad-hoc) are considered. - Honey pot Technology: Research works in the area of honey pots - Alert Aggregation and Correlation: Alert aggregation techniques and different types of alert correlation. - Security Operation Center (SOC): Different architectures for SOC, applicable components, and methods used in SOC. - Privacy: Privacy on the net and Internet-related privacy issues. - Network feature selection for intrusion detection - Response to intrusion attempts - Intrusion prevention Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before November 30, 2009, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by December 15, 2009 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by March 31, 2010. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project. Publisher This book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), publisher of the "Information Science Reference" (formerly Idea Group Reference), "Medical Information Science Reference," "Business Science Reference," and "Engineering Science Reference" imprints.
