SNDS05 Reviewers

Objectives: Security is an important issue in the research of networks and distributed systems , ranging from the traditional computer networks to newly proliferated areas like sensor networks, P2P systems, and ubiquitous computing. The security threats exploited the weakness of protocols as well as operating systems, and also extended to attack Internet applications such as database systems and web servers. The attacks, including Distributed Deny of Service, Virus, Buffer Overflows and Worms, are causing more economic damages and arouse more attentions. To achieve a secured distributed system, the cybersecurity aspects, namely, data confidentiality, authentication, nonrepudiation, data integrity, privacy, access control and availability, should be fully attained.
