WoNEXT

The current network systems and protocols are becoming more complex by integrating many system and network-controlling technologies for achieving higher efficiency and security. As a result, their vulnerabilities and attack surfaces are also increasing in practice. One impediment to the development of the appropriate defenses results from the fact that many of the current networking system architectures and their implementations are still behind the veil, and some pragmatically important security requirements have never been widely explored. This workshop aims to explore the following questions: “What important networking system mechanisms are still behind the veil, and what are their security implications?”, “What pragmatically important security requirements should be considered, but have never (or little) been handled in the state-of-the-art offense or defense?”, “What should we do to make the next generation networking systems more secure and sustainable in the presence of large-scale and multi-attack vector adversaries?”.

WoNEXT provides a high-quality work forum for discussing such questions and techniques for computer network attacks and defenses. Submissions should reflect the state-of-the-art in the computer network security technology, exposing poorly understood mechanisms, presenting novel security problems and solutions. The goal for these submissions is to produce pioneering works that will guide future work in the field. The workshop topics include, but are not limited to:

Inter-domain network and cloud virtualization security

Quantum-secure network system

Side-channel attack and defense

Hardware-assisted network security (including RDMA)

Attack-resilient and green routing

Exploitation of hardware/software vulnerability

AI-based real-time network attack detection

Internet and web security

Distributed systems attack and defense (including Blockchain)

Papers being submitted to WoNEXT 2022 should be in ACM conference format (double column) and should be less than 6 pages in length. Accepted abstracts will appear in the ACM Digital Library.
