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
 
Prospective participants should submit either a full paper (not to exceed 12 single-spaced pages) for a paper presentation to be published in the proceedings or can submit a short abstract suggesting alternative presentation forms, discussion items, or panel topics.

Submissions must be made on or before May 30, 2008 to James Hughes
