3rd Workshop on Ethics in Computer
Security Research 2012
March 2, 2012
Divi Flamingo Beach Resort, Bonaire
Computer security often leads to discovering interesting new problems and challenges. The challenge still remains to follow a path acceptable for Institutional Review Boards at academic institutions, as well as compatible with ethical guidelines for professional societies or government institutions. However, no exact guidelines exist for computer security research yet. This workshop will bring together computer security researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and legal experts.
This workshop solicits submissions describing or suggesting ethical and responsible conduct in computer security research. While we focus on setting standards and sharing prior experiences and experiments in computer security research, successful or not, we tap into research behavior in network security, computer security, applied cryptography, privacy, anonymity, and security economics.
This workshop will favor discussions among participants, in order to shape the future of ethical standards in the field. It will be co-located with the Sixteenth International Conference on Financial Cryptography and Data Security 2012.

Position paper submission should not exceed 6 pages in length, excluding bibliography and well-marked appendices. 2. Case studies. Submitted case studies must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or conference with proceedings. Submitted case studies should not exceed 12 pages in length, excluding bibliography and well-marked appendices. 3. Panel proposals. Submitted panel proposals should list the panel topic, a moderator, and a list of confirmed panelists, along with a short biography of the participants. The composition should be adequately selected as to generate copious discussion. Panelists will be given an opportunity to submit a position statement for the final proceedings.
