----------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers - PETS 2011 11th Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium (PETS 2011) Waterloo, ON, Canada July 27-29, 2011 http://petsymposium.org/2011/ Privacy and anonymity are increasingly important in the online world. Corporations, governments, and other organizations are realizing and exploiting their power to track users and their behavior. Approaches to protecting individuals, groups, but also companies and governments, from profiling and censorship include decentralization, encryption, distributed trust, and automated policy disclosure. The 11th Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium addresses the design and realization of such privacy services for the Internet and other data systems and communication networks by bringing together anonymity and privacy experts from around the world to discuss recent advances and new perspectives. The symposium seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of privacy technologies, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems. We encourage submissions with novel technical contributions from other communities such as law, business, and data protection authorities, that present their perspectives on technological issues. As in the past, the proceedings will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, and will be available at the event. Suggested topics include but are not restricted to: Anonymous communications and publishing systems Attacks on privacy and privacy technologies Censorship resistance Data protection technologies Economics of privacy and PETs Fielded systems and techniques for enhancing privacy in existing systems Location privacy Privacy and anonymity in Peer-to-Peer, Cloud, and Ubiquitous Computing Environments Privacy and inference control in databases Privacy-enhanced access control or authentication/certification Privacy-friendly payment mechanisms for PETs and other services Privacy in Online Social Networks Privacy policy languages and tools Privacy threat models Profiling and data mining Pseudonyms, identity management, linkability, and reputation Reliability, robustness and abuse prevention in privacy systems Traffic analysis Transparency enhancing tools Usability issues and user interfaces for PETs Important Dates: PETS submission deadline: February 28, 2011 HotPETs submission deadline: April 25, 2011 All deadlines are FIRM no extensions.
