The vision of ubiquitous computing has generated a lot of interest in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. However, besides their potential advantages, these new generations of networks also raise some challenging problems with respect to security and privacy. The aim of this workshop is to bring together the network security, cryptography, and wireless networking communities in order to discuss these problems and to propose new solutions. The fourth ESAS workshop seeks submissions that present original research on all aspects of security and privacy in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks.
Submission of papers based on work-in-progress is encouraged. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

• Privacy and anonymity
• Cooperation and fairness
• Secure topology control
• Secure localization
• Secure in-network processing
• Security for embedded systems
• Prevention of traffic analysis
• Key management
• Secure routing
• Secure MAC protocols
• Secure time synchronization
• Distributed intrusion detection
• Location privacy
• Trust establishment
• Secure context aware computing

Instructions for Authors and Workshop Proceedings

Authors are invited to submit a complete paper of their original work. Maximum length for submissions is 15 pages in LNCS format. The preferred submission format is PDF and for the final version the sources of the contribution in LaTeX will also be required. Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors have published elsewhere or have submitted in parallel. All submissions will be refereed. Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop. Further information on how to submit papers will be available on the web site of the workshop.
As in previous years, we will publish the proceedings in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series. Note that this year the final proceedings volume will be distributed at the workshop.
