SPC 2017 - 3rd IEEE Workshop on Security and Privacy in the Cloud (SPC 2017)

Cloud computing is today the reference paradigm for large-scale data storage and processing due to the convenient and efficient network access to configurable resources that can be easily adjusted according to the users’ needs. Although the benefits of cloud computing are tremendous, security and privacy concerns have still a detrimental impact on the adoption and acceptability of cloud services. In fact, users as well as companies that rely on cloud storage and computation services lose the direct control over the systems managing their data and applications, thus putting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data at risk. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners who are interested in discussing the security, privacy, and data protection issues emerging in cloud scenarios, and possible solutions to them.
The workshop seeks submissions from academia, industry, and government presenting novel research, as well as experimental studies, on all theoretical and practical aspects of security, privacy, and data protection in cloud scenarios.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Anonymity in cloud scenarios
Applied cryptography in cloud scenarios
Cloud-based biometric systems
Data and application security
Data and system integrity
Data availability in outsourcing scenarios
Data protection
Efficient access to outsourced data
Key management in cloud scenarios
Privacy
