SeceS 2014 - The 2nd International Workshop on Security and Privacy Preserving in e-Societies (SeceS'14)

Information technologies have invaded almost every aspect of our modern life. The effects of the World Wide Web and more recently Web 2.0, computers, and telecommunications on societies have emerged to cover new form of social cyberspace as reference to digital society or e-Society. In fact, the e-Society is the result of an emerging era of digitalizing different forms of multimedia information making time and space compression a constant evolving task. E-Society represents a revolutionary change in the way people interact with each others’ beyond countries boundaries. It provides individuals, such as end-users and organizations, the ability to easily share and publish corporate data, visions, and strategies. Nonetheless, with this emerging social interaction and the wide range of shared data, several privacy and confidentiality concerns arise. Mechanisms used to harvest social information represent a privacy threat for users in many situations and such concerns fall beyond security administrators’ duties and target end-users in their daily tasks. Approaches proposed in the literature to provide safe data publishing have several drawbacks related, on one hand, to the heterogeneous types of data addressed, and, on the other hand, to complexity in specifying privacy and security rules.
The aim of this workshop is to pin down the latest techniques, studies, and approaches related to security and privacy preserving in the digital society. Papers submitted to this workshop should be related to the following topics:
Access control
Anonymity
Content protection
Data protection
Database security
Data association detection
Information hiding
Inference detection
Inference elimination
Knowledge discovery and privacy
Multimedia mining threats
Multimedia security
Multimedia privacy
Multimedia hiding
Network security
Network intrusion detection
Quantifying threat
Social networks security
Social networks privacy preserving
Security and privacy policies
Security metrics
Secure cloud computing
Watermarking and steganography

SeceS'14 is held in conjunction with the International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (MEDES’14) and sponsored by the French chapter SIGAPP.fr
