NOTE: CCSW is being held at the Raleigh Convention Center (room 301A) across Salisbury St from the conference hotel (the Sheraton Raleigh Hotel). Check out CCSW 2013 ! Notwithstanding the latest buzzword (grid, cloud, utility computing, SaaS, etc.), large-scale computing and cloud-like infrastructures are here to stay. How exactly they will look like tomorrow is still for the markets to decide, yet one thing is certain: clouds bring with them new untested deployment and associated adversarial models and vulnerabilities. It is essential that our community becomes involved at this early stage. The CCSW workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in all security aspects of cloud-centric and outsourced computing, including:
Student Stipends Student stipends are available to attend CCSW. Please apply on the CCS website and mention CCSW as your target workshop. We plan on awarding 5-10 student travel grants (a function also of the quality of the applications). Don't forget to mention CCSW as your workshop of choice if you'd like to be considered by us. Also please explain why you are a good fit to attend the workshop. Important Dates Submissions due: July 16, 2012 (23:59 UTC) Submission time in major cities Author notification: August 13, 2012 Camera-ready: August 24, 2012 Workshop: October 19, 2012 Submissions CCSW is soliciting full papers of up to 12 pages and short papers of up to 6 pages. Submissions must be in double-column ACM format with a font no smaller than 9 point. Please use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates, available at the ACM website. Only PDF files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Accepted papers will be published by the ACM Press and/or the ACM Digital Library. Both research and position/vision/white papers are invited. Submissions must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. All authors and their affiliations must be listed. Each accepted paper must be presented by one registered author. Please submit your paper here. Keynote Speakers Dr. Burt Kaliski, Jr. Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer Verisign As senior vice president and chief technology officer, Dr. Burt Kaliski Jr. is responsible for the company’s long-term technology vision. He is the leader of Verisign Labs, which focuses on applied research, university collaboration, industry thought leadership, and intellectual property strategy. He also facilitates the technical community within Verisign. Prior to joining Verisign in 2011, Kaliski served as the founding director of the EMC Innovation Network, the global collaboration among EMC’s research and advanced technology groups and its university partners. He joined EMC from RSA Security, where he served as vice president of research and chief scientist. Kaliski started his career at RSA in 1989, where as the founding scientist of RSA Laboratories, his contributions included the development of the Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS), now widely deployed in internet security. Kaliski has held appointments as a guest professor at Wuhan University's College of Computer Science, and as a guest professor and member of the international advisory board of Peking University's School of Software and Microelectronics. He has also taught at Stanford University and Rochester Institute of Technology. Kaliski is a trustee emeritus of the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council, and a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Computer Society and Tau Beta Pi. Kaliski holds a Bachelor of Science in computer science and engineering, Master of Science in electrical engineering and computer science and doctorate in electrical engineering and computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where his research focused on cryptography. Dr. Kristin Lauter Principal Researcher and Head of the Cryptography Group Microsoft Research Kristin Lauter is a Principal Researcher, a member of the Senior Leadership Team for the XCG lab, and the head of the Cryptography group at Microsoft Research. She directs the group's research activities in theoretical and applied cryptography and in the related math fields of number theory and algebraic geometry. Her personal research interests include algorithmic number theory, elliptic curve cryptography, hash functions, and cloud security and privacy, including privacy for healthcare. Lauter is also an Affiliate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Washington. She received her BA, MS, and PhD, all in mathematics, from the University of Chicago, in 1990, 1991, and 1996, respectively. She was T.H. Hildebrandt Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the University of Michigan (1996-1999), and a Visiting Scholar at Max Planck Institut fur Mathematik in Bonn, Germany (1997), and at Institut de Mathematiques Luminy in France (1999). In 2008, Lauter, together with her coauthors, was awarded the Selfridge Prize in Computational Number Theory. She serves on the Executive Committee of the Association for Women in Mathematics, and on the Editorial Boards for Journal of Algebra and Its Applications and International Journal of Information and Coding Theory. She was a co-founder of the Women In Numbers Network, a research collaboration community for women in number theory. She serves on the Advisory Board for SHARPS, the Strategic Healthcare IT Advanced Research Projects on Security. Dr. Howard Shrobe Program Manager DARPA Dr. Howard Shrobe joined DARPA as a Program Manager in 2010 where he is in charge of the Mission-oriented Resilient Clouds (MRC) program among others. His research and development interests relate to Cyber Resilience, Computer Architectures, Software Technologies and Artificial Intelligence with his initial focus being on new computer system architectures for secure and resilient computing. Shrobe joined DARPA from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, with which he has been affiliated since 1978, and for which he served as Associate Director of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory from 1997 to 1998. Shrobe also has a previous tour with DARPA as a Chief Scientist in the Information Technology Office (1994 to 1997). Shrobe holds Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Science degrees in Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Yale College. Program CCSW is being held at the Raleigh Convention Center (room 301A) across Salisbury St from the conference hotel (the Sheraton Raleigh Hotel).
