Workshop Abstracts

Post-Conference Workshops on Friday, November 8, 2013

• Cloud Computing Security Workshop (CCSW)

  Notwithstanding the latest buzzword (grid, cloud, utility computing, SaaS, etc.), large-scale computing and cloud-like infrastructures are here to stay. How exactly they will look like tomorrow is still for the markets to decide, yet one thing is certain: clouds bring with them new untested deployment and associated adversarial models and vulnerabilities. It is essential that our community becomes involved at this early stage. The CCSW workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in all security aspects of cloud-centric and outsourced computing.

• Security and Privacy in Smartphones and Mobile Devices (SPSM)

  Mobile devices such as smartphones and Internet tablets have achieved computing and networking capabilities comparable to traditional personal computers. The operating systems supporting these new devices have both advantages and disadvantages with respect to security. On one hand, they use application sandboxing to contain exploits and limit privileges given to malware. On the other hand, they routinely collect and organize many forms of security- and privacy-sensitive information and make that information easily accessible to third-party applications.This workshop intends to provide a venue for interested researchers and practitioners to get together and exchange ideas. The workshop will deepen our understanding of various security and privacy issues on smartphones.

• Smart Energy Grid Security Workshop (SEGS)

  The Smart Energy Grid Security (SEGS) Workshop aims to foster innovative research and discussion about smart energy grid security and privacy challenges, issues, approaches, and solutions. The scope of the workshop encompasses all aspects of the smart grid, including distribution, transmission, generation, metering, e-mobility, and integration of distributed energy resources.

• Digital Identity Management (DIM)

  This workshop will explore crucial issues concerning interoperable identity management technologies for the information society.
