INCO-TRUST WORKSHOP ON INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN SECURITY AND PRIVACY
International Data Exchange with Security and Privacy: Applications, Policy, Technology, and Use

May 3 - 5, 2010
New York Academy of Sciences
New York, NY

Security and privacy are critical to establishing a trustworthy cyber infrastructure. The goal of the workshop is to foster long-lasting international scientific collaborations to investigate the scientific foundations, design, and feasibility of a future international cyber architecture. Such an architecture must allow for transnational data repositories and be capable of enforcing both today's and future diverse security and privacy policies. Topics to be addressed may include, among others, how to determine whether a set of privacy or access control policies is consistent, whether it can be efficiently enforced, and if so what techniques are most effective.

Different data exchange applications will require tailored mechanisms that allow for security, privacy, anonymity, and provenance to be maintained. Of particular interest are:

• Data concerning malware detection (attack signatures, number/pattern of compromised systems, botnet membership, vulnerability pricing data, etc.)
• Network management data (traffic patterns, headers, routing updates, etc.)
• Social network data (usage patterns within social networking applications, status of data posted within these applications, etc.)

as well as data from other domains such as:

• Healthcare data (electronic health records, including images, diagnostic notes, laboratory reports, etc.)
• Financial data (individual transactions, interbank transfers, credit reporting, etc.)

The workshop is by invitation only and will consist of several keynote talks, panels, and breakout sessions. In addition, information will be presented about funding opportunities to support international research collaborations.
