AIMS AND SCOPE

At present time, the maturity of research in the field of distributed systems, such as P2P, Grid, Cloud or Internet computing, has pushed through new problems such us those related with security. In systems where the information freely flows across the network, the task of securing it becomes a real concern, and thus an interesting research challenge. For that reason, security is becoming one of the key issues when evaluating such systems and it is important to determine which security mechanisms are available, and how they fit to every particular scenario.

The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for the discussion of ideas on regards to the current challenges and solutions to security in an environment that is rapidly developing such as P2P, Grid, Cloud or Internet computing.

TOPICS

The main topics include (but are not limited to):

* Securing the Internet of Things (IoT)
* Membership and access control
* Identity management in distributed systems
* Security in JXTA-based applications
* Privacy and anonymity technologies
* Secure distributed storage
* Security issues in Vehicular Networks (VANETs)
* Securing P2P networks against third-party attacks
* Security and privacy in Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTN)
* Integrating security in protocols
* Assessment of information security

SUBMISSION
