Motivation

Although cryptography and security techniques have been around for quite some time, emerging technologies such as ubiquitous computing and ambient intelligence that exploit increasingly interconnected networks, mobility and personalization, put new requirements on security with respect to data management. As data is accessible anytime anywhere, according to these new concepts, it becomes much easier to get unauthorized data access. Furthermore, it becomes simpler to collect, store, and search personal information and endanger people's privacy. Therefore, research in the area of secure data management is of growing importance, attracting attention of both the data management and security research communities The interesting problems range from traditional ones such as, access control (with all variations, like dynamic, context-aware, role-based), database security (e.g. efficient database encryption schemes, search over encrypted data, etc.), privacy preserving data mining to controlled sharing of data.

This year, we will continue with tradition to have special sessions. We will organize a special session on trustworthy cloud computing in the context of the EU FP7 TClouds project and Trust in Digital Life initiative.

Aim

The aim of the workshop is to bring together people from the security research community and data management research community in order to exchange ideas on the secure management of data. The workshop will provide forum for discussing practical experiences and theoretical research efforts that can help in solving the critical problems in secure data management. Authors from both academia and industry are invited to submit papers presenting novel research on the topics of interest (see below).
 

Format of the Workshop and Proceedings

The workshop will be organized in conjunction with the VLDB 2012 conference.

Provisional program:

1.    Presentation of papers with discussions

2.    Special session on trustworthy cloud computing: Cloud computing enables outsource of ICT services to leverage scalable shared computing, communication, and storage infrastructures that are provided by third party enterprises. Typical categories of cloud computing include Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS).  Major benefits of cloud computing include scalability, cost reduction, data availability, reliability and resilience.  However, moving ICT infrastructure and personal data to the cloud can pose severe threats to security and privacy. Clouds may involve additional insider attacks or become a single point of failure. Consequently, secure data management solutions need to be promoted to address the emerging security and privacy risks.

Our intention is to publish the proceedings in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes on Computer Science series as it was done for the first eight workshops.

Paper Submission

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not being considered for publication in any other forum. Manuscripts should 
be submitted electronically as PDF or PS files via email to al_sdm05@natlab.research.philips.com 

Full papers should not exceed fifteen pages in length (formatted using the camera-ready templates of Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science). We also encourage submitting position statement papers describing research work in progress or lessons learned in practice (max six pages). Submissions must be received no later than June 1, 2012. 

Each submission must be accompanied by a separate submission overview specifying the title, three keywords, author names with organizational affiliations, and must specify a contact author along with corresponding phone number, fax number, postal address and email address. The submission overview can be included in the body of the email. Each submission will be acknowledged by e-mail. If acknowledgment is not received within 3 days, please contact the organizers. It is intended to publish the proceedings in in the Springer Lecture Notes on Computer Science series.
