The 2009 International Workshop on
Ubiquitous Computing Security (UC-Sec 09)

http://www.sersc.org/UCSEC2009

July 13-16, 2009, Las Vegas, USA


In Conjunction with SAM'09 / WORLDCOMP'09
The 2009 World Congress in Computer Science,
Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing

===========================================================



Overview
------------
Ubiquitous Computing (UC) paradigm foresees seamless integration of communicating and computational devices and applications embedded in all parts of life - homes, offices, school, hospital, an so on. However, there are many problems and major challenges awaiting for us to solve such as the security risks in ubiquitous resource sharing, which could be occurred when data resources are connected and accessed by anyone in UC. Therefore, security issues should be appropriately addressed in UC.
UC-Sec 09 is intended to foster the dissemination of state-of-the-art research in the area of UC security technology. The main aim of UC-Sec workshop is to provide a forum for academic and industry professionals to discuss recent progress in methods and technology concerning the identification of risks, the definition of security policies, and the development of security measures for UC. In UC-Sec 09, we plan to publish high quality papers, which cover the various security issues in UC.


Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
------------
- Access control and authorization
- Ad hoc and sensor network security
- Advanced Cryptographic algorithms
- Data privacy and trustiness
- Identity management
- Information hiding and DRM
- Key management and authentication
- Location privacy and secure localization
- Malware in ubiquitous computing environments and services
- Privacy, anonymity, and trust management
- Privacy issues in the use of smart cards and RFID systems
- Role of RFID, sensors and biometrics to enable security
- Security in U-commerce and U-business and other applications
- Security in P2P networks and Grid computing
- Trust and reputation management
- Case Studies and prototype implementation for UC-Sec
