Workshop on Trustworthy Clouds http://workshop13.tclouds-project.eu/ Royal Holloway, University of London (UK), 12-13 September 2013, (Co-located with ESORICS 2013) SCOPE The workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners working in cryptography, security, and distributed systems, from academia and industry, who are interested in the security and resilience of cloud computing. Security and resilience are widely regarded as a key concern for cloud-service providers, who want to protect their platforms and isolate tenants, as well as for cloud-customers, who want to minimize exposure of their data and computations. The goal is to create a dialogue about common goals and to discuss solutions for security problems in cloud computing, relying on operating system techniques, secure distributed protocols, cryptographic methods, and the trusted computing paradigm. Topics include cryptographic protocols, secure virtualization mechanisms, resilient distributed protocols, privacy and integrity for outsourced data, trusted computing etc. TOPICS Areas of interest include but are not limited to: * Practical cryptographic protocols for cloud security * Secure cloud-resource virtualization mechanisms * Verification of outsourced computation * Foundations of cloud-centric threat models * Privacy and integrity mechanisms for outsourcing * Trusted computing and remote attestation in cloud computing * Hypervisor technology and sandboxing * Identity management and authorization for cloud computing * Trust and policy management in cloud computing * Regulations and compliance in cloud computing * Business and security risk models and clouds * Scalability and resilience of large-scale cloud systems * Network-security methods for cloud computing FORMAT The workshop will consist of invited keynote presentations and contributed presentations. There will be no proceedings, but a handout with abstracts will be provided to all participants.

Edward Suh Cornell University, USA CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS To contribute a submission, please submit an extended abstract summarizing a technical contribution or a position paper summarizing a provoking idea. Contributions will be selected by the program committee according to the expected interest in the topic and the potential for stimulating exchange of ideas among the participants. The workshop will have no proceedings, but abstracts will be provided to all participants and made available through the website. A submission must be a PDF file that uses only the standard character sets. There recommended length of a submission is four pages in single-column letter- or A4-format, using at least 10pt fonts, but there is no sharp bound on the length. All submissions must be sent as an attachment by email to workshop13@tclouds-project.eu until the submission deadline date. Every received submission will be acknowledged by email.
