Mark Center,
Alexandria, Virginia, USA (The same hotel where CCS is held)
What's new?
- The
exciting program is available now! The
registration information is available at CCS's
registration website. The hotel reservation information is
available at CCS's hotel
reservation website.
- The
page limit for short papers has been increased to 6 pages. For both
short and full papers, you can buy two extra pages --- see the
instruction web page for details.
- The
instructions for preparing proceedings version are available at http://www.sheridanprinting.com/typedept/stc.htm.
Please note that the deadline for submitting your final versions is
Aug. 22 in order for your paper to be included in the proceedings
(there is no extension).
- The
notifications were sent on Aug. 10, as scheduled.
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 workshop, built on the success of its predecessor (STC'06), 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 two types of original papers that are
single-column using at least 11pt fonts. The length of the full-paper
submissions is at most 12 pages excluding bibliography, appendix etc.
The total number of pages should not be more than 20, whereas the
reviewers are not required to read the appendix. The length of
short/work-in-progress/position-paper submissions is at most 6 pages
excluding bibliography. A paper submitted to this workshop
must not be in parallel submission to any other journal, magazine,
conference or workshop with proceedings. It is up to the authors to
decide whether a submission should be
anonymous (i.e., no author names, affiliation information appeared in
the submission). It is noted that the proceedings versions of the
accepted papers will likely be up to 10 pages for full
papers and up to 4 pages for short/work-in-progress/position-paper in
ACM format. The workshop
proceedings will be published by the ACM Press and appear in ACM
Digital Library.
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
- scalable trust support and service
- trusted embedded computing and systems
- trusted computing in networks and distributed systems
- virtualization and trusted computing
