Workshop on Trustworthy Clouds
Call for Contributions

Scope

The workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners working in cryptography, security, and distributed systems, from academia and industry, who are interested in the security and resilience of cloud computing. Security and resilience are widely regarded as a key concern for cloud-service providers, who want to protect their platforms and isolate tenants, as well as for cloud-customers, who want to minimize exposure of their data and computations. The goal is to create a dialogue about common goals and to discuss solutions for security problems in cloud computing, relying on operating system techniques, secure distributed protocols, cryptographic methods, and the trusted computing paradigm.

Topics

Practical cryptographic protocols for cloud security
Secure cloud-resource virtualization mechanisms
Verification of outsourced computation
Resilient distributed protocols
Foundations of cloud-centric threat models
Privacy and integrity mechanisms for outsourcing
Trusted computing and remote attestation in cloud computing
Hypervisor technology and sandboxing
Identity management and authorization for cloud computing
Trust and policy management in cloud computing
Regulations and compliance in cloud computing
Business and security risk models and clouds
Scalability and resilience of large-scale cloud systems
Network-security methods for cloud computing

Submission

To contribute a submission, please submit an extended abstract summarizing a technical contribution or a position paper summarizing a provoking idea. Contributions will be selected by the program committee according to the expected interest in the topic and the potential for stimulating exchange of ideas among the participants.

The workshop will have no proceedings, but abstracts will be provided to all participants and made available through the website.

A submission must be a PDF file that uses only the standard character sets. There recommended length of a submission is four pages in single-column letter- or A4-format, using at least 10pt fonts, but there is no sharp bound on the length.

All submissions must be sent as an attachment by email to

workshop13@tclouds-project.eu

until the submission deadline date. Every received submission will be acknowledged by email.
