OVERVIEW OF FAST2004
The second international Workshop on Formal Aspects in Security & Trust
(FAST2004) aims at continuing the successful effort
of FAST2003 (www.iit.cnr.it/FAST2003) for fostering the cooperation
among researchers in the areas of security and trust.
The new challenges offered by the so-called ambient intelligence space as a
future paradigm in the information society demands for a coherent
framework of concepts, tools and methodologies to enable user'
trust&confidence on the underlying  computing infrastructure. These need
to address issues relating to both  guaranteeing security of the
infrastructure and the perception of the infrastructure  being secure. In
addition, user confidence on what is happening must be enhanced by
developing trust models effective but also easily comprehensible and
manageable by  users.
The complexity and scale of deployment of emerging ICT systems based on web
service and grid computing concepts also necessitates the investigation of
new, scalable and more flexible foundational models of enforcing pervasive
security across organizational borders and in situations where there is high
uncertainty about the  identity and trustworthiness of the participating
networked entities (including users, services and resources). The increasing
need of building activities sharing different resources managed with
different policies demand for new and business enabling models of trust
between members of virtual communities including virtual organizations that
span across the boundaries of physical enterprises and loosely structured
communities of individuals.

Suggested submission topics include, but are not limited to, formal
aspects of:

- Security and trust policy models
- Security protocol design and analysis
- Models of trust and reputation
- Distributed trust management systems
- Trust-based reasoning
- Digital assets protection
- Data protection
- Privacy and ID issues
- Information flow analysis
- Security and trust aspects in ubiquitous computing
- Validation/analysis tools
- Web/GRID service security/trust/privacy
- Language-based security
- Security risk assessment
- Case studies
