BACKGROUND AND SCOPE
====================

In connection with 

	       The Second Workshop on Automated Reasoning
		     for Security Protocol Analysis
			       (ARSPA'05)

which took place as a satellite event of ICALP'05, we are guest-editing
a Special Issue of Theoretical Computer Science devoted to original
papers on formal security protocol specification, analysis and
verification.

Contributions are welcomed on the following topics and related ones:

- Automated analysis and verification of security protocols.
- Languages, logics, and calculi for the design and specification of
  security protocols.
- Verification methods: accuracy, efficiency.
- Decidability and complexity of cryptographic verification problems.
- Synthesis and composition of security protocols.
- Integration of formal security specification, refinement and
  validation techniques in development methods and tools.



SUBMISSION
==========

Authors should submit their papers electronically, in portable
document format (pdf) or postscript (ps), by sending an email with
subject "TCS submission" to the address
                        arspa -at- avispa-project.org
with the file of the paper as an attachment, by November 13, 2005.
The following information should be included in the body of the email,
in plain text:
  - paper title
  - author names
  - coordinates of the corresponding author
  - abstract of the paper
The cover page of the submission should also include this information.
