Constraint Satisfaction and Programming is emerging as an effective 
practical approach for solving large complex problems. It offers a 
significant body of
successful techniques for verifying system properties. Recently, researchers
have begun using advances in constraint programming and solving to solve 
security problems, with success. This workshop seeks to act as a catalyst 
for this emerging area by exploring the challenges and the potential that 
these techniques may offer when applied to security problems.

The use of Constraint Satisfaction and Programming to address security 
problems is recent, and it has already produced a number of novel solutions 
and insights. For example, constraints have been successfully used in the 
the analysis of security protocols, the development of access control models 
and mechanisms, firewall configuration and secure system configuration in 
general.

Workshop topics include (but are not limited to):

* security models
* information flow
* trust management
* database security
* data and system integrity
* security protocols
* security configuration
* access control
* secure applications
* security trade-offs



Submissions

The workshop aim is to provide a forum where researchers currently working 
in the area of security and constraints can discuss their most recent ideas 
and
developments and think together about the most promising new directions.
Therefore we encourage the presentation of work in progress or on 
specialized aspects of the area. Papers that bridge the gap between theory 
and practice are especially welcome.

Prospective attendees can submit a paper, which can be up to 15 pages in 
length.
We encourage authors to submit papers electronically in postscript or pdf 
format.
Papers should be formatted using the Lecture Notes in Computer Science 
(LNCS) style.
Please send your submissions by email to stefano.bistarelli at iit.cnr.it using 
the subject line "cpsec-2005 Workshop Submission".
