Proceedings of the 2009 workshop on New security paradigms workshop

Since 1992, the New Security Paradigms Workshop (NSPW) has published innovative, diverse, and sometimes controversial work that challenges current paradigms in computer security. This year's papers continue this tradition, with work that touches on many of the major challenges facing computer security today. We had papers on usable authentication, malware detection, filesystem access control, and secure routing. We had papers that challenged the foundations of security practice by questioning how we analyze and evaluate security problems. We even had a paper that argued that users were potentially right to ignore standard security advice. Again this year we had a strong group of submissions from which to build our program. We received 36 submissions; almost three-quarters of these came from academia, with the rest coming from industry (10). We accepted 12 submissions: 11 papers and one panel. The breakdown of the submissions (and acceptances) by geographical region was as follows: 17 submissions had authors from North America (6 accepted), 16 from Europe and the UK (5 accepted), and 3 submissions had authors from other countries (one accepted). To choose our program, first the 13 program committee members reviewed roughly eight submissions each. Once reviews were uploaded to the excellent yet free review system, EasyChair, we had a vigorous online discussion for two weeks. This discussion led to a consensus opinion on almost all of the papers, resulting in the selected papers you see here. As has been a tradition with NSPW from the beginning, all of the papers were discussed extensively at the workshop with all attendees participating. Following upon its success last year, we also divided into small groups to give the authors feedback before they presented their work in front of the entire workshop. In addition, to help improve the quality of the proceedings and provide ongoing support to authors throughout the revision process, all accepted papers were shepherded both before and after the workshop. As should be clear, NSPW thus required a significantly larger time and energy commitment from program committee members, authors, and participants than is the norm for security venues. We believe their effort was worthwhile; after reading this proceedings, we hope you will agree.
