Welcome to the IFIP WG 1.7
home page on Theoretical Foundations of
Security Analysis and Design. The Working Group has
been founded in 1999 with the main aims of investigating the theoretical foundations of security,
discovering and promoting new areas of
application of theoretical techniques in computer security and
supporting the systematic use of formal techniques in the
development of security related applications.
IFIP WG 1.7
is a working group of the Technical
Committee 1 (TC1)
of IFIP,
which promotes activities in the area of Foundations
of Computer Science.
The main research topics relevant for the Working Group
include:
- formal definition and verification of the various aspects of
security:confidentiality, integrity, authentication and
availability;
-
new theoretically-based techniques for the formal analysis and
design of cryptographic protocols and their manifold applications
(e.g., electronic commerce);
-
information flow modelling and its application to the theory of
confidentiality policies, composition of systems, and covert channel
analysis;
-
formal techniques for the analysis and verification of mobile code;
-
formal analysis and design for prevention of denial of service.

the text of the proposal.
Meetings
- The first
meeting of the IFIP
WG 1.7 has been held in Royal
Halloway on 3 December 1999.
-
The second
meeting of the IFIP
WG 1.7 has been held in Geneva
(CH), UniDufour, on 8 July 2000 during the first
WITS workshop.
-
Subsequent meetings have been held in conjunction with WITS, HotSpot
workshops and POST conferences (see below)
Events
The Workshop on Issues in the Theory of
Security (WITS) is the annual open
event of IFIP WG 1.7.
Traditionally, it has been located for two consecutive years in
Europe and one in the United States. Submissions are open to anyone
working on the theory of computer security. The program will
encourage discussion among all attendees, both during and after the
scheduled presentations. During the years, WITS has been federated
with other events (FCS and ARSPA). In 2011 it has been promoted to
TOSCA: Theory of Security and Applications,
affiliated
with ETAPS 2011.
