MOTIVATION
=================
The
Congress
=================
The Congress on Evolutionary Computation, one of the leading international conferences in the field, will be held in Canberra, Australia, 8th - 12th December 2003. It covers all topics in evolutionary computation: from combinatorial to numerical optimization, from supervised to unsupervised learning, from co-evolution to collective behaviors, from evolutionary design to evolvable hardware, from molecular to quantum computing, from ant colony to artificial ecology, etc.
The Special Session
=================
Techniques taken from the field of Evolutionary Computation (specially Genetic Algorithms and Genetic Programming, but also others) are steadily becoming more and more present in the area of computer security, both in network/host security and in the very demanding area of cryptology. In recent years, algorithms which take advantage of approaches based on Evolutionary Computation have been proposed, for example, in the design and analysis of a number of new cryptographic primitives, ranging from pseudo-random number generators to block ciphers, in the cryptanalysis of state-of-the-art cryptosystems, and in the detection of network attacking patterns, to name a few.
There is a growing interest from the computer security community toward Evolutionary Computation techniques, as a result of these recent successes, but there still are a number of open problems in the field that should be addressed. This special session will try to do it by asking for submissions in all areas of evolutionary computation dealing with applications to computer security, and by giving the interested researchers an opportunity to review the current state-of-art of the topic, exchange recent ideas, and explore promising new directions. We would like to invite your participation in the special session Evolutionary Computation in Computer Security at the CEC-2003, an opportunity to meet leading researchers in the field, exchange ideas and initiate collaborations.
