SIMICE 2016 - 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Secure Identity Management in the Cloud Environment

While identity management solutions are increasingly migrating to cloud, conventional identity management approaches are facing challenges in trust, security, privacy, computational efficiency, interoperability, and service reliability in the cloud environment. Security concerns are reportedly among the biggest inhibitors holding back the wider adoption of cloud computing. Secure identity management, required by emerging cloud services, is receiving increasing attention from both service providers' and end user's perspectives, in terms of protection of enterprise assets and customers' privacy in the cloud, respectively. This workshop solicits contributions describing state-of-the-art methodology and technology innovations in the field of secure identity management in the cloud computing environment, encourages experience sharing (both positive and negative ones), and also welcomes disruptive work-in-progress ideas towards future concepts.
Workshop Theme
The workshop is dedicated to the security and privacy aspects of identity management (IDM) in the cloud. Two tracks, namely "Concept design and enabling technologies" and "Applications and evaluations" are planned to attract both theoretical and empirical works from the IDM society and the cloud computing society.
Scope of the Workshop
Any submission whose content is relevant to the area of secure identity management in the cloud environment will be considered, but any submission shose subect matter is related to one of the following 2 track topics will be particularly welcome. Practically oriented approaches will also be considered.
Track 1: Concept design and enabling technologies
new concept design of IDM towards cloud
identity authentication outsourcing as a service
privacy-enhancing technologies in cloud (biometrics, customer data, mobile device, and social media)
data processing and analysis in a protected domain for personal data management
service-oriented architecture for IDM in cloud
Track 2: Applications and evaluations
cross-border IDM
security and privacy enhanced IDM for eCommerce, eCitizen, and eHealth in cloud
case study of security breaches of IDM in cloud
privacy and security evaluation for services in cloud
The length of a camera ready paper will be limited to 6 pages (IEEE Proceedings style) with up to 2 additional pages (with charges for each additional page) printed on 10-12 point fonts. Authors must follow IEEE CS Press Proceedings Author Guidelines to prepare papers. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper is required to pay full registration fee and present the paper at the workshop in person.
