Call for Papers
 
First IEEE International Security In Storage Workshop
December 11th, 2002 --- Greenbelt, Maryland, USA
http://ieee-tfia.org/sisw2002
 
Sponsored by the
IEEE Computer Society Task Force on Information Assurance and the
IEEE Security In Storage Working Group

The ability to create large shared storage systems in a secure manner is an area that has received little formal research or results. A comprehensive, systems approach to storage security is required if storage consolidation is to succeed. 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 Existing and Proposed Systems and Protocols
Key Management for Storage    Novel Implementations
Attacks on Storage Area Networks and Storage Systems    Insider Attack Countermeasures
Standardization Approaches    Deployment of Secure Storage Mechanisms
Defining and Defending Trust Boundaries in Storage    Security in Federated Systems
Relating Storage Security to System and Network Security    Security for Internet Storage Service Providers
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 IEEE Press in a proceedings volume.

Submissions

Papers must list all authors and affiliations, begin with a title, 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 may be submitted in ASCII text, PostScript, PDF, HTML, or Microsoft Word.

Papers should be at most 15 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.
