CCSW'19: Cloud computing security workshop

Abstract

Clouds and massive-scale computing infrastructures are starting to dominate computing and will likely continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Major cloud operators are now comprising millions of cores hosting substantial fractions of corporate and government IT infrastructure. CCSW is the world's premier forum bringing together researchers and practitioners in all security aspects of cloud-centric and outsourced computing including: practical cloud security solutions practical cryptography for cloud security secure cloud resource virtualization network virtualization secure data management outsourcing practical privacy & integrity for outsourcing foundations of cloud-centric threat models secure & verifiable computation outsourcing remote attestation mechanisms in clouds sandboxing and VM-based enforcements trust and policy management in clouds secure identity management mechanisms cloud-aware web service security paradigms cloud-centric regulatory compliance business & security risk models in the cloud cost & usability models and their interaction with security in clouds scalability of security in global-size clouds trusted computing technology and clouds binary analysis of software for remote attestation and cloud protection cloud network security (DoS defense, IDS) security for cloud programming models energy/costs/efficiency of security in clouds machine learning for cloud protection CCSW especially encouraged novel paradigms and controversial ideas that are not on the above list. The workshop has historically acted as a fertile ground for creative debate and interaction in security-sensitive areas of computing impacted by clouds. This year marked the 10th anniversary of CCSW. In the past decade, CCSW has had a significant impact in our research community. As of August 2019, in the Google Scholar Metrics entry for ACM CCS (which encompasses CCSW), 20% of the top 20 cited papers come from CCSW. One way to look at it is that authors are as likely or perhaps more likely to have a top-20 paper publishing in CCSW than in CCS! This year, CCSW received 40 submissions out of which 15 full papers (37%) and 2 blitz abstracts were accepted.
