TrustCom 2008 The 2008 International Symposium on Trusted Computing, Central South University, Zhang Jia Jie, China, November 18-20, 2008. (Submissions due 15 June 2008) This symposium, held in conjunction with The 9th International Conference for Young Computer Scientists (ICYCS 2008), brings together researchers and engineers from academia, government and industry working on topics of trusted computing with regard to security, safety, privacy, reliability, dependability, survivability, availability, and fault tolerance aspects of computer systems and networks. The aim is to provide a forum for them to present and discuss emerging ideas and trends in this highly challenging research field. Main topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Semantics, metrics and models of trust - Trust establishment, propagation, and management - Trusted computing platform - Trusted network computing - Trusted operating system - Trusted software - Trusted database - Trusted services and applications - Trust in e-commerce and e-government - Trust in mobile and wireless networks - Cryptography and security protocols - Reliable and fault-tolerant computer systems/networks - Survivable computer systems/networks - Authentication in computer systems/networks - Access control in computer systems/networks - Key management in computer systems/networks The symposium proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society (will be indexed by EI Compendex & ISTP).
