Aims and Scope

Ambient assisted living concept is envisioned through a new paradigm of interaction inspired by constant provision to information and computational resources. This provision will be enabled through invisible devices that offer distributed computing power and spontaneous connectivity. A nomad traversing residential, working, and advertising environments will seamlessly and constantly be served by small mobile devices like portables, handheld, embedded or wearable computers. This paradigm of leaving and interacting introduces new security, trust and privacy risks. Thus, methods and technology to support confidence in this concept are revisited. 

The objectives of the SecPerU2008 Workshop are to develop new security, privacy and trust concepts for complex application scenarios based on systems like handhelds, phones, smart cards, sensors, actuators and RF tags, with the emerging technology of ubiquitous and pervasive computing.

List of topics

We welcome the submission of papers from the full spectrum of issues related with security, privacy and trust in pervasive and ubiquitous computing. Papers may focus on architectures, methods, technologies, protocols, prototype developments, case studies, applications, practical experiences, simulation results and analysis, theory and validation on pervasive and ubiquitous computing topics include, but not limited to:

• Reasoning about Security, Privacy and Trust

• Access control and authorization

• Key management and authentication

• Identity management

• Authorization

• Threat and vulnerability

• Denial of service attacks

• Intrusion detection and protection systems

• Malware in pervasive environments ands services

• Privacy, anonymity, pseudonymity, and unlinkability

• Location privacy and secure localization

• Network security issues and protocols

• Information hiding and watermarking

• Trust and reputation management

• Role of RFID, sensors and biometrics to enable security

• Deploying security policies

• Developing secure infrastructures

• Auditing and forensic information management in pervasive settings

• Ethics and law for pervasive services   

• Case Studies
