DIMACS Workshop on Theft in E-Commerce: Content, Identity, and Service 
          
      April 14 - 15, 2005
      DIMACS Center, Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ

Organizers: 
       Drew Dean, SRI International, ddean at csl.sri.com  
       Markus Jakobsson, Indiana University, markus at indiana.edu 
     
Presented under the auspices of the Special Focus on Communication
Security and Information Privacy and is sponsored by RSA Security. 
    ************************************************

This workshop is focusing on Theft in E-Commerce (of content, identity
and service). While theft is an old problem, the automated nature of
e-commerce introduces new opportunities for traditional forms of
theft, as well as entirely new forms of theft. The centrality of
computation makes these threats a part of computer security. This is
an area of research where we are seeing a lot of activity, and where
we believe there is a great potential for valuable research
contributions. While our primary interest is in defenses against
theft, we are also interested in novel attacks and real data about
attacks, as the defenders need to know what to defend against. It is
our hope that we could stimulate such research by bringing together
the leaders in this area, which is the very intention of this
workshop.
