4th International Workshop on Formal Aspects in
Security & Trust (FAST2006)
Hamilton, Ontario Canada
http://www.iit.cnr.it/FAST2006
FAST2006 is a satellite event of 14th
Formal Methods Symposium (FM2006).
FAST is under the auspices of IFIP WG 1.7
OVERVIEW OF FAST
The fourth International Workshop on Formal Aspects in Security and Trust
(FAST2006) aims at continuing the successful efforts of the first
three FAST workshops for fostering the cooperation among
researchers in the areas of security and trust.
The new challenges offered by the so-called ambient intelligence
space as a future paradigm in the information society demands for
a coherent framework of concepts, tools and methodologies to
enable user' trust&confidence on the underlying communication
infrastructure. These need to address issues relating to both
guaranteeing security of the infrastructure and the perception of
the infrastructure being secure.
In addition, user confidence on what is happening must be enhanced
by developing trust models effective but also easily
comprehensible and manageable by users.
The complexity and scale of deployment of emerging ICT systems
based on web service and grid computing concepts also necessitates
the investigation of new, scalable and more flexible foundational
models of enforcing pervasive security across organizational
borders and in situations where there is high uncertainty about
the identity and trustworthiness of the participating networked
entities (including users, services and resources). The increasing
need of building activities sharing different resources managed
with different policies demand for new and business enabling
models of trust between members of virtual communities including
virtual organizations that span across the boundaries of physical
enterprises and loosely structured communities of individuals.
