                   http://www.cs.utsa.edu/~shxu/stc06/ 

===========================================================================================

              A workshop held in conjuction with the 

   13th ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (ACM CCS'06)

                           Call for Papers

In a society increasingly dependent on networked information systems,
trusted computing plays a crucial role. Despite significant
progress in trusted computing components, the issue of scalability
in trusted computing and its impact on security are not well-understood.
Consequently, there is a dearth of practical solutions for trusted
computing in large-scale systems. Approaches suitable for small- or
medium-scale trusted computing systems might not be applicable to
larger-scale scenarios.

This new workshop is focused on trusted computing in large-scale
systems -- those involving (at the very least) many millions of users
and thousands of third parties with varying degrees of trust.
The workshop is intended to serve as a forum for researchers as well as
practitioners to disseminate and discuss recent advances and emerging issues.

The workshop solicits regular technical papers of up to 10 pages, and
work-in-progress (or position) papers of up to 4 pages. The workshop
proceedings will be published by the ACM Press. 
Topics of interest to the workshop include the following:

  models for trusted computing
  principles of trusted computing
  modeling of computing environments, threats, attacks and countermeasures
  limitations, alternatives and tradeoffs regarding trusted computing
  trust in authentications, users and computing services
  hardware based trusted computing
  software based trusted computing
  pros and cons of hardware based approach
  remote attestation of trusted devices
  censorship-freeness in trusted computing
  cryptographic support in trusted computing
  case study in trusted computing
  applications of trusted computing
  intrusion resilience in trusted computing
  access control for trusted computing
  trust of computing systems
  principles for handling scales
