CFP: First International Workshop on Security and Privacy in Cloud
Computing

http://www.ece.iit.edu/~ubisec/workshop.htm

To be held in conjuction with IEEE International Conference on
Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2010)

Cloud computing has recently emerged as a new information technology
infrastructure. In cloud computing, information is permanently stored
in large data centers on the Internet and temporarily accessed and
cached on clients that include desktops and portable PCs, sensors,
etc. With the "cloud" as a metaphor for the Internet, cloud computing
promises to deliver massively scalable IT-enabled data, software, and
hardware capabilities as a service to external clients using Internet
technologies. Cloud computing has been envisioned as the key
technology to achieve economies of scale in the deployment and
operation of IT solutions.

Cloud computing has unique attributes that raise many security and
privacy challenges in areas such as data security, recovery, and
privacy, as well as legal issues in areas such as regulatory
compliance and auditing. In contrast to traditional enterprise IT
solutions, where the IT services are under proper physical, logical
and personnel controls, cloud computing moves the application software
and databases to the servers in large data centers on the Internet,
where the management of the data and services are not fully
trustworthy. When clients store their data on the server without
themselves possessing a copy of it, how the integrity of the data can
be ensured if the server is not fully trustworthy? Will encryption
solve the data confidentiality problem of sensitive data? How will
encryption affect dynamic data operations such as query, insertion,
modification, and deletion? Data in the cloud is typically in a shared
environment alongside data from other clients. How the data
segregation should be done, while data are stored, executed, and
transmitted? How the virtulized resources is being managed and secured
in the cloud? Due to the fundamental paradigm shift in cloud
computing, many security concerns have to be better understood,
unanticipated vulnerabilities identified, and viable solutions to
critical threats devised, before the wide deployment of cloud
computing techniques can take place. Topics of interests include (but
are not limited to) the following subject categories:

Secure management of virtualized cloud resources
Secure network architecture for cloud computing
Joint security and privacy aware cloud protocol design
Access control and key management
Trust and policy management in clouds
Identification and privacy in cloud
Remote data integrity protection
Secure computation outsourcing
Dynamic data operation security
Software and data segregation security
Failure detection and prediction
Secure data management within and across data centers
Availability, recovery and auditing
Secure wireless cloud
Both regular research papers and position papers that define new
problems in cloud computing security or provide visions and
clarifications of cloud computing security are solicited.
Additionally, short papers that describe work-in-progress ideas are
also welcome.

Time Table

Manuscript submission: January 22, 2010
Acceptance notification: Feburary 28, 2010
Final Manuscript due: March 15, 2010

Paper Submission

Form of Manucript: All paper submissions should follow the IEEE 8.5" x
11" Two-Column Format. Each submission can have 10 pages plus up to 2
over-length pages. If the paper is accepted for publication, an over-
