Special Track: Privacy, Security and Trust in the Digital Space

About:

With the rapid development and increasing complexity of computer systems and communication networks, user requirements for privacy, security and trust are becoming more and more demanding. Therefore, there is a grand challenge that traditional security technologies and measures may not meet user requirements in open, dynamic, heterogeneous, mobile, wireless, and distributed computing environments. As a result, we need to build systems and networks in which various applications allow users to enjoy more comprehensive services while preserving trust, security and privacy at the same time. As useful and innovative technologies, trusted computing and communications are attracting researchers with more and more attention.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Privacy in web-based applications and services
  • Privacy in database systems
  • Privacy in parallel and distributed systems
  • Privacy in cloud/pervasive computing
  • Privacy in mobile and wireless communications
  • Privacy in e-commerce and e-government
  • Privacy in network deployment and management
  • Privacy and trust
  • Privacy and security
  • Privacy and anonymity
  • Privacy preservation in 5G
  • Miscellaneous privacy issues
  • Privacy-preserving biometrics
  • Trust semantics, metrics and models
  • Trusted computing platform
  • Trusted network computing
  • Trusted operating systems
  • Trusted software and applications
  • Trust in social networks
