SDIM 2018 - 1st IEEE International Workshop on Secure Digital Identity Management

Secure digital identity management, required by cloud services, federated services, or newest distributed technologies such as blockchain and distributed ledger technologies, is receiving increasing attention from both service providers' and end users' 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, encourages experience sharing (both positive and negative ones), and also welcomes disruptive work-in-progress ideas towards future concepts.
The workshop is dedicated to the security and privacy aspects of identity management (IDM) in smart devices, the cloud, or blockchain and distributed ledger environment. Topics are articulated around several important themes as “concept design”, “enabling technologies”, “federated identities” and “applications”. It is expected they will attract both theoretical and empirical works from the IDM society, the cloud computing society.
Scope of the Workshop
Any submission whose content is relevant to the area of secure identity management will be considered, but any submission whose subject matter is related to one of the following topics will be particularly welcome. Practically-oriented approaches will also be appreciated.
• identity-based access control and remote personal data management (authentication, authorization, accounting and access management, single sign on for Web services and non-web applications)
• data processing and analysis in a protected domain for personal data management
• service-oriented architecture for IDM in cloud, e.g. identity authentication outsourcing
• identity federations & trust fabrics (technologies and policies) ; federation of identities in roaming scenario
• new concept design of IDM towards cloud (e.g. distributed ledger-based)
• technologies for enhancing privacy and security of customer data and social media (biometrics, multi-factor authentication, mobile devices)
• security and privacy enhanced databases and directory services
• Secure messaging, digital signature, and encryption ; PKI architecture, Security Policy, and operation method
• Big data/Cloud/GRID access control and privacy protection
• applications, e.g. cross-border IDM, security and privacy enhanced IDM for eCommerce, eCitizen, and eHealth in cloud
• privacy and security evaluation for IDM services in cloud and case study of security breaches of IDM in cloud
• IDM on a blockchain or distributed ledger platform
• Privacy protection of personal identities on a blockchain or distributed ledger platform
• Anonymous identity attribute ownership verification on a blockchain or distributed ledger
