SISW05, the 3rd International IEEE Security in Storage Workshop

Description

Meeting the challenge to protect stored information critical to
individuals, corporations, and governments is made more difficult by the
continually changing uses of storage and the exposure of storage media
to adverse conditions.

Example uses include employment of large shared storage systems for cost
reduction and, for convenience, wide use of transiently- connected
storage devices offering significant capacities and manifested in many
forms, often embedded in mobile devices.

Protecting intellectual property, privacy, health records, and military
secrets when media or devices are lost, stolen, or captured is critical
to information owners.

A comprehensive, systems approach to storage security is required for
the activities that rely on storage technology to remain or become
viable.

This workshop serves as an open forum to discuss storage threats,
technologies, methodologies and deployment.

The workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting
novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of designing,
building and managing secure storage systems; possible topics include,
but are not limited to the following:

- Cryptographic Algorithms for Storage

- Cryptanalysis of Systems and Protocols

- Key Management for Sector and File based Storage Systems

- Balancing Usability, Performance and Security concerns

- Unintended Data Recovery

- Attacks on Storage Area Networks and Storage

- Insider Attack Countermeasures

- Security for Mobile Storage

- Defining and Defending Trust Boundaries in Storage

- Relating Storage Security to Network Security

- Database Encryption

- Search on Encrypted Information

The goal of the workshop is to disseminate new research, and to bring
together researchers and practitioners from both governmental and
civilian areas. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer
Society Press in the workshop proceedings and become part of the IEEE
Digital Library.

Submissions

Papers must begin with the title, authors, affiliations, a short
abstract, a list of key words, and an introduction. The introduction
should summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate
for a non-specialist reader. Papers must be submitted in PDF format less
than 4MB in size (final paper has no limit). Email submissions must
attach the paper, specify if this is a duplicate work, and be sent to
James_Hughes@StorageTek.com

Papers should be at most 12 pages in length including the bibliography,
figures, and appendices (using 10pt body text and two- column layout).
Authors are responsible for obtaining appropriate clearances. Authors of
accepted papers will be asked to sign IEEE copyright release forms.
Final submissions must be in camera-ready PostScript or PDF. Authors of
accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the
conference.

Papers that duplicate work that any of the authors have or will publish
elsewhere are acceptable for presentation at the workshop.
However, only original papers will be considered for publication in the
proceedings.

Although full papers are preferred, submissions of extended abstracts
describing the final paper will be considered based on merit and
assessing the author’s ability to complete the paper within the allotted
time.
