PRESENTATION

Identity Management consists of an integrated system of policies, processes and technologies that enables organizations to treat and handle users and devices identities in authentication, authorization, accounting and auditing procedures.

This is an active research topic and, given its complexity and relevance, should continue from now on. This finding stems from the numerous technical issues that identity management systems should consider such as: ease of use, privacy and user anonymity, security, single sign on, scalability, fine-grained access control (based on attributes), interoperability and system costs (total cost of ownership).

The 6th Workshop on Digital Identity Management (WGID) aims to be a forum for discussion and technical paper presentations around the state of the art on technologies related to identity management. In addition, it seeks also to identify research challenges and enable the meeting of researchers on this subject.

PRESENTATION

The popularization of the Internet and the proliferation of electronic data processing and communication devices have made technology an ever-increasing part of people's lives. At the same time it opens a virtually infinite spectrum of possibilities for interaction and collaboration, it also creates opportunities for committing different types of crimes. The field of computer forensics is concerned with collecting, extracting, preserving and analysing digital evidence to support investigative and audit procedures. The challenges are great, including several technological, legal and social barriers that have to be overcome, as well as the need for providing professionals with the skills required to work in this area.

The V Workshop on Computer Forensics (WFC) aims to be a forum for discussions and technical paper presentations around the state of the art on technologies related to computer forensics. In addition, it also seeks to identify research challenges and foster the integration of researchers and professionals interested in computer forensics.

PRESENTATION

The Workshop for Regulation, Conformity Assessment and Certification on Security (WRAC+) is a satellite event of the Brazilian Symposium on Information and Computational Systems Security (SBSeg). The WRAC+ is a forum where Regulators, Certification Bodies, Laboratories, Government, Academia and Industry can discuss different aspects of Conformity Assessment in the area of Information and Computer Systems Security.

JUSTIFICATION

The so-called "Cyberspace" includes a set of software, hardware and communication networks often invisible, though it supports most of the applications we use every day. This "space" contains Internet and its computers, and also includes a great number of intelligent devices and equipments dedicated to specific applications, in addition to networks interconnecting all of them - those networks may be connected to the Internet or may simply be a segregated network.

More and more, it becomes evident that engendered attacks in Cyberspace may have a major impact on the Society welfare. Thus, cyberspace should be subject to some sort of control by the State, in search for its safe operation. Such control takes place by means of a regulatory process in which the State establishes some rules and conduct patterns in order to ensure minimum security in cyberspace - or part of it.

WRAC+ will provide a forum in which all stakeholders interested in Cybersecurity issues will be able to interact and discuss how to build rules so that Brazil can reach an appropriate security status in its Cyberspace.

Topics address issues of interest to the Academy, Industry and Government, such as:

• Which areas are subject to some sort of regulation/control by the State?
• How to define a set of appropriate requirements for each kind of application?
• How to specify systematic procedures (tests) to assess compliance with requirements as regarding equipments, software or smart devices operating in Cyberspace?
• How to evaluate laboratory competency as for the implementation of security assessment activities of equipments, software or smart devices?
• How to set up a conformity assessment infrastructure and how to integrate it to approval/regulators registration systems?
• What are the technical limitations of conformity assessment tools?

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Although WRAC+ is mainly focused on Regulation and Conformity Assessment, information systems and any embedded software devices are very important objects in assessment process. Therefore, we are also concerned about issues involving Software and Smart Devices Security. WRAC+ intends to deepen discussions related to "security requirements specification" for software and intelligent devices and its "validation" with respect to a given set of requirements.

Topics of interest include - but are not limited to - the following:

• Software protection and analysis
• Software testing, verification and validation
• Software debugging and understanding
• Metrics, measurement and software analysis
• Software Vulnerabilities
• Formal methods
• Malware detection and analysis
• Risk management
• Security regulations and standards
• Hardware Security: invasive, semi-invasive and non-invasive methods
• Products and Processes conformity assessment
• Laboratory accreditation for security testing

INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS

Papers may be submitted in two categories:

Full Papers: A full paper should present a research work developed to the point of producing original and relevant results, fully analyzed and validated. They are limited to a maximum of 10 pages.

Short Paper: A short paper should describe a research work in progress or practical experiments and "cases". They should contain between 4 and 6 pages.

Text formatting should adhere to the SBC template available here. Submissions will be accepted solely in PDF format, through SBC's JEMS system.

Papers will undergo a double-blind review process by the Program Committee. Accepted papers must be presented by one of the registered authors in order to be published in the conference proceedings.
