New this year: SENT and USEC Workshops
NDSS 2014 will offer two optional full-day workshops on Sunday, 23 February. Security of Emerging Network Technologies (SENT) will bring together academic and industry researchers to discuss security problems, challenges, and potential solutions of emerging networking technologies including Software Defined Networks (SDN), cellular networks, Named-Data-Networking (NDN), and future Internet architecture.
Usable Security (USEC 2014) will examine aspects of human factors and usability in the context of security, bringing together researchers already engaged in this interdisciplinary effort with other computer science researchers in areas such as visualization, artificial intelligence and theoretical computer science, as well as researchers from other domains such as economics or psychology. More information on both workshops is at: http://www.internetsociety.org/events/ndss-2014-workshops
