TRUST 2012 - 5th International Conference on Trust and Trustworthy Computing

TRUST 2012 is an international conference on the technical and soci-economic aspects of trustworthy infrastructures. It provides an excellent interdisciplinary forum for researchers, practitioners, and decision makers to explore new ideas and discuss experiences in building, designing, using and understanding trustworthy computing systems.

Building on the success of TRUST 2011 (held in Pittsburgh, USA) and TRUST 2010 (held in Berlin, Germany) TRUST 2009 (held in Oxford, UK), this conference focuses on trusted and trustworthy computing, both from the technical and social perspectives. The conference itself has two main strands, one devoted to technical aspects and one devoted to the socio-economic aspects of trusted computing.

Important dates:

Submission due: 22 February 2012, 23:59 UTC

Notification: 25 March 2012

Camera ready: 09 April 2012
Conference: 13-15 June 2012

The conference solicits original papers on any aspect (technical or social and economic) of the design, application and usage of trusted and trustworthy computing, which concerns a broad range of concepts including trustworthy infrastructures, cloud computing, services, hardware, software and protocols. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Technical Strand:
Architecture and implementation technologies for trusted platforms and trustworthy infrastructures
Trust, Security and Privacy in embedded systems
Trust, Security and Privacy in social networks
Trusted mobile platforms and mobile phone security
Implementations of trusted computing (hardware and software)
Applications of trusted computing
Trustworthy infrastructures and services for cloud computing (including resilience)
Attestation and integrity verification
Cryptographic aspects of trusted and trustworthy computing
Design, implementation and analysis of security hardware, i.e., hardware with cryptographic and security functions, physically unclonable functions (PUFs)
Intrusion resilience in trusted computing
Virtualization for trusted platforms
Secure storage
Security policy and management of trusted computing
Access control for trusted platforms
Privacy aspects of trusted computing
Verification of trusted computing architectures
Usability and end-user interactions with trusted platforms
Limitations of trusted computing

Socio-economic Strand:
Usability and user perceptions of trustworthy systems and risks
Effects of trustworthy systems upon user, corporate, and governmental behavior
Economic drivers for trustworthy systems in corporate environment
The impact of trustworthy systems in enhancing trust in cloud-like infrastructures
The adequacy of guarantees provided by trustworthy systems for systems critically dependent upon trust, such as elections and government oversight
The impact of trustworthy systems upon digital forensics, police investigations and court proceedings
Game theoretical approaches to modeling or designing trustworthy systems
Approaches to model and simulate scenarios of how trustworthy systems would be used in corporate environments and in personal space
Experimental economics studies of trustworthiness
The interplay between privacy, privacy enhancing technologies and trustworthy systems
Critiques of trustworthy systems

Submissions must be at most 18 pages in LNCS format. No changes to margins, spacing, or font sizes (or anything else) are allowed from those specified. We reserve the right to request the source files for a submission to verify compliance with this requirement. Only PDF files will be accepted. Papers must be written in English.

All submissions must be anonymized. An author's name should occur only in references to that author's related work, which should be referenced in the third person and not overtly distinguishable from the referenced work of others.

Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference or workshop. Simultaneous submission of the same work is not allowed. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be presented at the conference.
