7th Symposium on Identity and Trust on the Internet (IDtrust 2008)
Theme: Identity and Trust Infrastructures
This symposium brings together academia, government, and industry to explore all aspects of identity and trust. Previously known as the PKI R&D Workshop (2002-2007), our new name reflects interest in a broader set of tools and the goal of an identity layer for the Internet. We aim to get practitioners in different sectors together to apply the lessons of real-world deployments to the latest research and ideas on the horizon. In addition to peer-reviewed papers, we facilitate discussions among panels of invited experts and symposium participants.
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
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 our submissions page. All submissions will be acknowledged.
Accepted papers will be published in a pre-proceedings at the symposium and in a final proceedings shortly after the symposium. Accepted papers will also appear in the ACM Digital Library as part of the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series .
