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.
