SECPID 2016 - Call For Papers

SECPID 2016 - Workshop on Security, Privacy, and Identity Management in the Cloud,
August 31 - September 2, 2016, Salzburg, Austria

Over the last years, the computing paradigm has experienced a massive shift from local to cloud-based applications. As a result, users and organizations do no longer have full control over their data and services, but they rely on third-party cloud Providers.

This development poses various challenges concerning the integrity and confidentiality of data as well as the privacy of users of such systems. Currently, no satisfactory solutions to these challenges exist, which is a roadblock for the large-scale deployment of cloud-based applications handling sensitive data such as electronic health records.

 A Workshop on Security, Privacy, and Identity Management in the Cloud (SECPID 2016) will be held in conjunction with the ARES EU Projects Symposium 2016, held at the 11th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2016 – http://www.ares-conference.eu)

 The SECPID 2016 workshop will provide a platform to discuss topics related to the following questions:
 * How can cloud services be made more trustworthy?
 * How can we build distributed systems without single point of failure or trust?
 * How to design end-to-end secure services in an untrusted Environment?
 * And is it possible to give back users full control over their data, i.e., let them decide when and to whom they are revealed?

 TOPICS OF INTEREST 
* (Publicly) verifiable computing
 * Malleable signatures
 * Privacy-preserving authentication
 * Proxy cryptography
 * Format preserving encryption
 * Order preserving encryption
 * Secret sharing
 * Security and privacy in web Services
 * Security and privacy in cloud Scenarios
 * Secure distributed Systems
 * Fault tolerance in distributed Systems
 * Auditing of cloud based Systems
 * Transparency-enhancing Technologies
