Cloud computing can be thought of as being in its infancy, since it is possible to find widely varying opinions for how it will shape up in the following decade. In theory, data acquired from distributed sensors, combined with the flexibility of cloud computing using distributed computational and storage sources should allow an exciting new set of applications.
Unfortunately, this naïve view is quickly interrupted, since the very flexibility that opens the door to a set of new applications also extends to parties with malicious intent. Therefore, the fight for securing the data privacy should be a part of the applications. Securing the data, or the code can be achieved by software, as well as dedicated hardware.
Emerging technologies in Security and Privacy of Distributed, Grid and Cloud Computing systems (ESP-DGC) workshop welcomes novel papers that propose to improve the information privacy at the acquisition point, during storage, during communication, or during computation. Potential information privacy advances can be the result of novel algorithmic approaches, or straightforward novel implementation of existing techniques, as well as novel hardware technologies. These categories which ESP-DGC welcomes are listed below, but not limited to:
