Workshop on Cryptography and Security in Clouds

Description

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in cryptography and security, from academia and industry, who are interested in the security of current and future cloud computing technology. The workshop considers the viewpoint of cloud-service providers as well as the concerns of cloud users. The goal is to create a dialogue about common goals and to discuss solutions for security problems in cloud computing, with emphasis on cryptographic methods.

The workshop is organized and sponsored by ECRYPT II, the European Network of Excellence in Cryptology, and TClouds (Trustworthy Clouds - Privacy and Resilience for Internet-scale Critical Infrastructure), in collaboration with IBM Research - Zurich. Attendance is open to the public.

Scope

Topics include:

• Data privacy and integrity
• Proofs of storage
• Remote attestation and verification
• Secure outsourcing of computation
• Verification of outsourced computation
• Storage integrity
• Private remote storage
• Obfuscation of programs and data
• Identity management in cloud computing
• Robust generation of cryptographic random bits
• Cryptosystems with conditional decryption (such as searchable encryption or functional encryption)
• Trusted computing
• Virtualization security

Format

The workshop will consist of invited keynote presentations and contributed presentations. There will be no proceedings, but a handout with abstracts will be provided to all participants.

Keynote Speakers

Please consider the call for contributions and participate in the workshop.

Stipends
