                     The Workshop on the Economics of
                  Securing the Information Infrastructure

                      http://wesii.econinfosec.org/

                           October 23-24, 2006
                              Washington, DC

                                 SECOND
                             CALL FOR PAPERS

Our information infrastructure suffers from decades-old vulnerabilities,
> from the low-level algorithms that select communications routes to the
application-level services on which we are becoming increasingly
dependent. Are we investing enough to protect our infrastructure? How can 
we best overcome the inevitable bootstrapping problems that impede efforts 
to add security to this infrastructure? Who stands to benefit and who 
stands to lose as security features are integrated into these basic 
services? How can technology investment decisions best be
presented to policymakers?

We invite infrastructure providers, developers, social scientists,
computer scientists, legal scholars, security engineers, and especially
policymakers to help address these and other related questions. Authors of 
accepted papers will have the opportunity to present their work to 
government and corporate policymakers. We encourage collaborative
research from authors in multiple fields and multiple institutions.

Submissions Due: August 6, 2006 (11:59PM PST)
