The  Physical-layer Methods for Wireless Security Workshop  will take place during  IEEE CNS 2014  in San Francisco, CA, on  October 29, 2014 . The main goal of this workshop is twofold. First, this workshop will serve as a means of dissemination of physical layer security results that are often confined to the information theory community to a wider audience that IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (CNS) enjoys, e.g., researchers from communications, signal processing and networking communities. Second, this workshop will stimulate interest for research in practical aspects of physical-layer security. This cross-fertilization will benefit not only the physical-layer security research, by attracting a more diverse group of researchers who will come with their rich body of new ideas, but also the CNS community, by presenting a new body of open problems with significant theoretical and practical impact on the design of future wireless communication networks. Previously unpublished contributions in physical-layer security are solicited, including (but not limited to):

Jamming-resistant wireless communications

Practical code design for physical layer security

Secure cross-layer design techniques

Effects of channel state information on secure communications

Jamming-assisted secure wireless transmission

Cooperative secure communications

Secret key agreement and distillation

Secret key capacity of wireless channels

Integration of physical-layer security into wireless systems

Practical and implementation issues

Submitted papers should be of sufficient length and detail for review by experts in the field. Papers should be submitted for review through EDAS. Final papers will be limited to 6 pages in length in the standard IEEE conference paper format. Accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore.
