Welcome to participate in IWTC 2022, Zhangjiajie, China, November 15 - 18, 2022! Zhangjiajie is an emerging tourist destination famous for its unique natural scenery and abundant tourism resources. It is located in the northwest of Hunan province, about 400 kilometers away from Changsha, the capital of Hunan province, covering a total area of 9,516 square kilometers, of which 76% are mountainous area. Out of its total population of 1.52 million, almost 77% belong to ethnic minority groups, including Tujia, Bai and Miao nationalities. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park was established by the State Council in 1982 as the first National Forest Park of China. Wulingyuan in Zhangjiajie was listed into the World Natural Heritage Catalogue by the UNESCO in 1992 and appraised as a national AAAAA scenic area. Zhangjiajie was awarded the title of "World Geological Park" in 2004. The amazing landscape here had been a source of creation of the CGI artist in the Avatar movie, and since the movie was released and achieved a great success, many tourists keeping coming to Zhangjiajie admiring this natural beauty.

With the rapid development of information technology, a large amount of data in various industries and fields is increasing explosively. Massive data has brought severe challenges to Cyberspace Security. Network security and informatization are major strategic issues related to national security, national development, and work and life of broad masses of all the people. In the network computing mode, if a cloud server is damaged, it will affect user services on a large scale. Malicious attacks and monitoring activities from the cloud server itself will also cause security and privacy risks in the processes of user services. In addition, lacking the capability of controlling over the computing environment directly will make it difficult for users to trust the services provided in the network computing environment. At present, trusted computing technology can ensure the security and credibility of computing resources at startup to a certain extent, but the security of network computing environment at runtime is difficult to be guaranteed. Therefore, in order to improve the performance of network computing and effectively reduce the security risk of the system, it is necessary to study new network computing models and key security technologies. The 7th International Workshop on Trusted Computing (IWTC 2022), in Conjunction with UbiSec 2022 will be held at Zhangjiajie International Hotel during November 15-18, 2022, by the Institute of Trusted Computing, Guangzhou University, China (http://trust. gzhu.edu.cn) . Experts, scholars and students related to trusted computing from educational and scientific research institutions at home and abroad are welcome to attend the workshop. The workshop will provide a platform for experts and scholars from educational and scientific research institutions to exchange ideas and results, so as to deeply explore future technological innovations.

IWTC 2022 topics include, but are not limited to the following:

- Trustworthy data collection based on edge computing
