*** CALL FOR PAPERS *** 4th International Workshop on Storage Security and Survivability StorageSS 2008 ACM CCS 2008 Workshop Oct. 31, 2008 George Mason University http://storagess.org/2008/ IMPORTANT DATES: - Submissions due: May 23, 2008 - Notification: July 3, 2008 - Camera-ready due: August 3, 2008 The 4th ACM International Workshop on Storage Security and Survivability (StorageSS 2008) will bring together researchers in storage systems, computer and network security, and cryptography. We encourage paper submissions from both research and industry presenting novel ideas on all theoretical and practical aspects of protecting data in storage and file systems. TOPICS OF INTEREST include, but aren't limited to: * storage protection tradeoffs * storage protection deployment (including case studies) * smart storage for security and/or survivability * analysis of covert storage channels and leaks * mobile storage protection * novel backup protection techniques * protection using versioning * storage encryption techniques (modes of operation, fast software/hardware encryption) * key management techniques * encrypted keyword search and database query * security analysis of deployed file/volume encryptor, encrypted disc * tamper-evident storage protection techniques * immutable storage protection techniques, provenance * storage threat models * storage intrusion detection systems * security for long-term / archival storage * privacy and trust issues in (untrusted) remote/hosted storage * TPM and storage security The StorageSS workshop solicits full papers of up to 12 pages long as well as short papers / work-in-progress, which may be up to 6 pages long. Wild and controversial ideas are especially encouraged. The workshop will be structured to focus on face-to-face discussion and integration of people from storage, security, industry, and the open source community. To foster this interaction, we will include invited talks and/or panels. Paper submission and review will be done online. Papers should be formatted as two column in a font no smaller than 10 points. Submissions should be labeled as either a full paper (up to 12 pages) or short paper (up to 6 pages). Conference proceedings will be published by the ACM and made available at the workshop. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop.
