Twan says of WEIS: "Darn, why did I miss this workshop!? ... interesting stuff" Me too. Here's another one:
20th IEEE Computer Security Foundations Workshop (CSF)
Venice, Italy, July 6 - 8, 2007
Sponsored by the Technical Committee on Security and Privacy
of the IEEE Computer Society

The IEEE Computer Security Foundations Workshop (CSF) series brings together researchers in computer science to examine foundational issues in computer security. Over the past two decades, many seminal papers and techniques have been presented first at CSF. The CiteSeer Impact page lists CSF as 38th out of more than 1200 computer science venues in impact (top 3.11%) based on citation frequency. There is a possibility of upgrading CSF to an IEEE symposium already in 2007.
New theoretical results in computer security are welcome. Also welcome are more exploratory presentations, which may examine open questions and raise fundamental concerns about existing theories. Panel proposals are welcome as well as papers. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
Authentication Access control Distributed systems
Information flow Trust and trust security
Security management Security for mobile
protocols Security models computing
Anonymity and Intrusion Executable content
Privacy detection Decidability and
Electronic voting Data and system complexity
Network security integrity Formal methods for
Resource usage Database security security
control Language-based
security
Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press will be available at the workshop, and selected papers will be invited for submission to the Journal of Computer Security.
