[DMANET] Workshop on Cryptography and Security in Clouds, March 15-16, 2011, Zurich

WORKSHOP ON CRYPTOGRAPHY AND SECURITY IN CLOUDS

March 15-16, 2011, Zurich

http://www.zurich.ibm.com/~cca/csc2011/

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

The program is available on the website and registration is now open.
A registration fee of EUR 140 covers participation, two lunches,
and a social event. Deadline for early registration is March 1st, 2011.

DESCRIPTION

The cloud computing model offers cheap access to a variety of
standardized services, but comes with concerns about the
correctness, privacy, and integrity of remote data and
computations. Cryptographic mechanisms can reduce such trust by
allowing the user to protect its data and computations, as well as
to verify aspects of remote computation.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners working in cryptography and security, from academia and
industry, who are interested in the security of current and future
cloud computing technology. The workshop considers the viewpoint of
cloud-service providers as well as the concerns of cloud users. The
goal is to create a dialogue about common goals and to discuss
solutions for security problems in cloud computing, with emphasis on
cryptographic methods.
