The second IEEE International Workshop on Security, Privacy and Authentication in Wireless Networks in conjunction with IEEE WOWMOM 2009 will take place 15 June 2009, on the island of Kos, Greece.

Recent years have seen an increase in the number of wireless devices as well as number of applications that run on these devices.  It is fairly common to expect to use these devices to check e-mails and stock quotes as well as pay bills on line. Given the sensitive nature of the information that is currently being exchanged over these networks, it is essential to make sure that high levels of security and privacy be maintained.

This workshop aims to bring together research work in the areas of security and privacy in wireless networks. The workshop aims to attract research work that not only address the major research issues involved in achieving a high level of security and privacy for existing applications, but also research work that envisages new applications for wireless networks and the security and privacy challenges unique to these applications.
