IDtrust 2009 - Call for Papers Announcement

[Sara Caswell <sara@NIST.GOV>]

8TH SYMPOSIUM ON IDENTITY AND TRUST ON THE INTERNET (IDtrust 2009)
APRIL 14-16, 2009
NIST - Gaithersburg, MD USA


THEME: AUTHORIZATION AND ATTRIBUTES
IDtrust is devoted to research and deployment experience related to 
making good security decisions based on identity information, especially 
when public key cryptography is used and the human elements of usability 
are considered. The success of any business strategy depends on having 
the right people gain access to the right information at the right time. 
This implies that an IT infrastructure has - among other things - an 
authorization framework in place that can respond to dynamic security 
conditions and regulatory requirements quickly, flexibly and securely. 
What are the authorization strategies that will succeed in the next 
decade? What technologies exist to address complex requirements today? 
What research is academia and industry pursuing to solve the problems 
likely to show up in the next few years?

Complete details on the Symposium, including registration fees and hotel 
details, will be available at http://middleware.internet2.edu/idtrust

CALL FOR PAPERS
We solicit technical papers and panel proposals from researchers, 
systems architects, vendor engineers, and users. Suggested topics 
include but are not limited to:
- Reports of real-world experience with the use and deployment of 
identity and trust applications for broad use on the Internet (where the 
population of users is diverse) and within enterprises who use the 
Internet (where the population of users may be more limited), how best 
to integrate such usage into legacy systems, and future research 
directions. Reports may include use cases, business case scenarios, 
requirements, best practices, implementation and interoperability 
reports, usage experience, etc.
- Identity management protocols (SAML, Liberty, CardSpace, OpenID, and 
PKI-related protocols)
- Identity metasystems, frameworks, and systems (Shibboleth, Higgins, etc.)
- User-centric identity, delegation, reputation
- Identity and Web 2.0, secure mash-ups, social networking, trust fabric 
and mechanisms of “invited networks”
- Identity management of devices from RFID tags to cell phones; Host 
Identity Protocol (HIP)
- Federated approaches to trust
- Trust management across security domains
- Standards related to identity and trust, including X.509, SPKI/SDSI, 
PGP, S/MIME, XKMS, XACML, XRML, and XML signatures
- Intersection of policy-based systems, identity, and trust; identity 
and trust policy enforcement, policy and attribute mapping and 
standardization
- Attribute management, attribute-based access control
- Trust path building and certificate validation in open and closed 
environments
- Improved usability of identity and trust systems for users and 
administrators, including usability design for authorization and policy 
management, naming, signing, verification, encryption, use of multiple 
private keys, and selective disclosure
- Identity and privacy
- Levels of trust and assurance
- Trust infrastructure issues of scalability, performance, adoption, 
discovery, and interoperability
- Use of PKI in emerging technologies (e.g., sensor networks)
- Application domain requirements: web services, grid technologies, 
document signatures, (including signature validity over time), data 
privacy, etc.


Submissions should be provided electronically, in PDF, for standard US 
letter-size paper (8.5 x 11 inches). Paper submissions must not exceed 
15 pages (single space, two column format with 1" margins using a 10 pt 
or larger font) and should adhere to the ACM SIG proceedings template at 
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html (LaTeX users should 
use template Option 2). Successful technical papers should clearly 
describe the contribution to the field and cite related work.

Submissions of papers must not substantially duplicate work that any of 
the authors have published elsewhere or have submitted in parallel to 
any other conferences or journals. Proposals for panels should be no 
longer than five pages and include possible panelists and an indication 
of which panelists have confirmed participation. Detailed submission 
instructions can be found at the symposium website. All submissions will 
be acknowledged.

Accepted papers will be published in a conference proceedings at the 
symposium. Accepted papers will also appear in the ACM Digital Library 
as part of the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series.
