Call for Papers
Pervasive Security, Privacy and Trust
August 26, 2004 - Boston, Massachusetts, USA
in Conjunction with MobiQuitous
2004
Scope
Information assurance, security and privacy have moved from narrow topics of interest
to information system designers to become critical issues of fundamental importance
to society. As part of this shift, the scope of associated problems, applications,
and technical issues is broadening, opening up new requirements and approaches.
Challenges arise as information systems evolve toward dynamic, open and heterogeneous
distributed systems, as seen in pervasive computing environments. A "grand
challenge" is to create environments in which pervasive computing technology
allows people, agents, services and devices to seamlessly interact while preserving
appropriate security and privacy policies. To realize this grand challenge, the
research community must vigorously explore new ideas from a variety of domains,
which include but are not limited to:
- Impact of pervasive technologies on privacy (RFID, Bluetooth, cellular networks,
WiFi)
- Techniques for authentication and authorization
- Case studies, prototypes and experiences
- Metrics for trust, privacy and security
- Specifications for security and privacy
- Trust establishment and trust negotiation
- Protocols for security, privacy and trust management
- Role of policies in pervasive computing
- Effect of context-awareness in privacy, security and trust
- Challenges in wearable computing
- Adaptation and machine learning
- Role of biometrics
