This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 24th IFIP TC 11 International Information Security Conference, SEC 2009, held in Pafos, Cyprus, in May 2009. The 38 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 176 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on identification and authentication, threats and attacks, applications of cryptography and information hiding, trusted computing, security policies, validation, verification and evaluation, privacy protection and security assessment, role mining and content protection, security protocols, access control, and internet and Web applications security.

Cloud computing adoption has revolutionized how businesses and individuals harness the power of technology. The cloud's scalability, accessibility, and cost-efficiency have propelled it to the forefront of modern computing paradigms. However, as organizations increasingly rely on cloud services to store, process, and manage their data and applications, an intricate web of challenges has emerged, casting shadows over the very foundations of cloud computing. Improving Security, Privacy, and Trust in Cloud Computing unravels the complexities surrounding the cloud landscape, delving into the core concerns of security, privacy, and trust that have come to define its evolution. It aims to equip readers with the insights, knowledge, and practical strategies needed to navigate the intricate realm of cloud computing while safeguarding their most valuable assets. This book's exploration into security, privacy, and trust in cloud computing takes a holistic approach. Throughout the chapters of this book, readers will embark on a multidimensional expedition. This book will take them through real-world case studies of successful cloud security implementations and unfortunate breaches that underscore the urgency of robust defenses. From data encryption techniques to incident response protocols, this book offers practical insights and actionable strategies that can be implemented by IT professionals, security experts, and decision-makers alike.

It was an honor and a privilege to chair the 24th IFIP International Information Se- rity Conference (SEC 2009), a 24-year-old event that has become a tradition for - formation security professionals around the world. SEC 2009 was organized by the Technical Committee 11 (TC-11) of IFIP, and took place in Pafos, Cyprus, during May 18–20, 2009. It is an indication of good fortune for a Chair to serve a conference that takes place in a country with the natural beauty of Cyprus, an island where the hospitality and frie- liness of the people have been going together, hand-in-hand, with its long history. This volume contains the papers selected for presentation at SEC 2009. In response to the call for papers, 176 papers were submitted to the conference. All of them were evaluated on the basis of their novelty and technical quality, and reviewed by at least two members of the conference Program Committee. Of the papers submitted, 39 were selected for presentation at the conference; the acceptance rate was as low as 22%, thus making the conference a highly competitive forum. It is the commitment of several people that makes international conferences pos- ble. That also holds true for SEC 2009. The list of people who volunteered their time and energy to help is really long.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of devices and smart things that provides a pervasive environment in which people can interact with both the cyber and physical worlds. As the number and variety of connected objects continue to grow and the devices themselves become smarter, users expectations in terms of adaptive and self-governing digital environments are also on the rise. Although, this connectivity and the resultant smarter living is highly attractive to general public and profitable for the industry, there are also inherent concerns. The most challenging of these refer to the privacy and security of data, user trust of the digital systems, and relevant authentication mechanisms. These aspects call for novel network architectures and middleware platforms based on new communication technologies; as well as the adoption of novel context-aware management approaches and more efficient tools and devices. In this context, this book explores central issues of privacy, security and trust with regard to the IoT environments, as well as technical solutions to help address them. The main topics covered include: • Basic concepts, principles and related technologies • Security/privacy of data, and trust issues • Mechanisms for security, privacy, trust and authentication • Success indicators, performance metrics and future directions. This reference text is aimed at supporting a number of potential audiences, including • Network Specialists, Hardware Engineers and Security Experts • Students, Researchers, Academics and Practitioners.

This open access book brings together perspectives from multiple disciplines including psychology, law, IS, and computer science on data privacy and trust in the cloud. Cloud technology has fueled rapid, dramatic technological change, enabling a level of connectivity that has never been seen before in human history. However, this brave new world comes with problems. Several high-profile cases over the last few years have demonstrated cloud computing's uneasy relationship with data security and trust. This volume explores the numerous technological, process and regulatory solutions presented in academic literature as mechanisms for building trust in the cloud, including GDPR in Europe. The massive acceleration of digital adoption resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic is introducing new and significant security and privacy threats and concerns. Against this backdrop, this book provides a timely reference and organising framework for considering how we will assure privacy and build trust in such a hyper-connected digitally dependent world. This book presents a framework for assurance and accountability in the cloud and reviews the literature on trust, data privacy and protection, and ethics in cloud computing.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 26th IFIP TC 11 International Information Security Conference, SEC 2011, held in Lucerne, Switzerland, in June 2011. The 24 revised full papers presented together with a keynote talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 100 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on malware, information flow and DoS attacks, authentication, network security and security protocols, software security, policy compliance and obligations, privacy attacks and privacy-enhancing technologies, risk analysis and security metrics, and intrusion detection.

Security, privacy, and trust in the Internet of Things (IoT) and CPS (Cyber-Physical Systems) are different from conventional security as concerns revolve around the collection and aggregation of data or transmission of data over the network. Analysis of cyber-attack vectors and the provision of appropriate mitigation techniques are essential research areas for these systems. Adoption of best practices and maintaining a balance between ease of use and security are, again, crucial for the effective performance of these systems. Recent Advances in Security, Privacy and Trust for Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) discusses and presents techniques and methodologies, as well as a wide range of examples and illustrations, to effectively show the principles, algorithms, challenges, and applications of security, privacy, and trust for IoT and CPS. Book features: Introduces new directions for research, development, and engineering security, privacy, and trust of IoT and CPS Includes a wealth of examples and illustrations to effectively demonstrate the principles, algorithms, challenges, and applications Covers most of the important security aspects and current trends not present in other reference books This book will also serve as an excellent reference in security, privacy, and trust of IoT and CPS for professionals in this fast-evolving and critical field. The chapters present high-quality contributions from researchers, academics, and practitioners from various national and international organizations and universities.
