DIM 2010 - Workshop on Digital Identity Management (DIM 2010)

The Digital Identity Management Workshop brings together academia and industry to explore all aspects of identity management. Identity management is an endeavor to make identities available to humans, services, and systems in a secure and privacy-protecting manner. Currently we are facing grand challenges, such as financial and ecological crises, which require global collaboration. Best exemplified in the cloud computing and smart grid movement, ICT-enabled infrastructures are playing a crucial role in facilitating global collaboration for economic and ecological advancement. Such infrastructures must incorporate identity management capabilities that allow individuals and organizations to identify and trust each other over networks in a scalable and reliable manner, while striking the best balance between usability, security, and privacy.

The workshop seeks submissions from diverse communities, such as open source projects, standardization fora, government organizations, security and privacy experts, software engineers, and corporate & academic researchers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Identity management for cloud computing
Identity management for critical infrastructure (e.g., smart grid)
Identity assurance
Identity governance
Attribute aggregation
Identity in service-oriented architecture (SOA)
Anonymity and pseudonymity
Accountability in identity management
Identity management APIs
Identity management in ubiquitous and mobile computing
Reputation and incentive systems, and reputation management
Privacy-enhanced identity management
Identity solutions for specific areas (e.g., healthcare, government, education, and telecommunications)
Identity-based access control
Identity discovery
Identity theft prevention
User-centric identity management
User experience models and integrity
Standardization of IDM and policies thereof, standards harmonization
Case studies and lessons from large scale deployment
Vulnerabilities, threat analysis and risk assessment of IDM solutions (e.g., threat of malware affecting identity theft)
Analysis of differences between requirements for consumer and enterprise IDM
The goal of this workshop is to share new findings and ideas, discover key issues, and seek opportunities for active collaboration between industry and academia.

Submission Instructions:
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers should be at most 10 pages, using at least 10.5-point font and reasonable margins on A4 or US letter-size paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch). Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and so submissions should be intelligible without them. Each submission should start with the title, abstract, and names and contact information of authors. The introduction should give background and summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop.
Papers must be submitted in PDF format using the electronic submission page: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dim2010 and must be received by the deadline of June 28, 2010.
