### Call for Papers - DIM 2011 ACM SIGSAC

The Seventh ACM Workshop on Digital
Identity Management
October 21, 2011, Chicago, IL, USA.
Collocated with ACM CCS2011
http://www.nttmcl.com/dim2011/


### “Identity on the Move”
--------------------------
This workshop will explore crucial issues
concerning interoperable identity management 
technologies for the information society.
With the growing spectrum of identity-enabled 
client devices – ranging from electronic
ID cards, Smartphone’s, TV sets, Tablets, PCs all 
the way to server backend and cloud
services – identity management plays a critical role 
for the overall security, privacy and
success of the emerging paradigms. Identity 
management is an interdisciplinary endeavor
for maintaining the integrity of identities 
through their life cycle in order to
make the identities available to services in a secure 
and privacy protected manner. Digital
identities play increasingly important roles as our 
society depends more and more on services
provided over the Internet. For example, solid 
identity management practices are essential
for implementing social welfare (e.g., 
healthcare and e-government), enabling
secure service offering (e.g., cloud computing and 
SaaS), personalizing users’ experiences
(e.g., e-commerce and entertainment), and 
connecting people over networks (e.g.,
social networking and mobile communications). 

Comprehensive solutions to digital identity
management, therefore, require addressing 
multiple challenges and striking the
best balance between usability, security, and 
privacy. In addition, interoperability
is crucial because an increasing number of identity 
solutions are being proposed, taking
different approaches with different goals. Existing 
solutions are not necessarily interoperable
or complementary – and sometimes overlap. 
Moreover, they may not integrate well
with the legacy systems that constitute majority of 
the state of the art. It is important
to lay foundations for a holistic understanding of 
problem areas and establish guidelines,
methodologies and tools to achieve 
interoperability between different solutions
to foster healthy progressive adoption by 
industries and users. 


### Topics
----------
The workshop seeks submissions from
diverse communities, such as social networking, open 
source projects, standardization fora,
governments, system & security administrators, 
software engineers, and corporate &
academic researchers. Topics of interest include, but 
are not limited to: 

    - Novel approaches to
identity management
    - Privacy-enhancing technologies
    - Identity management
for mobile and ubiquitous computing
    - Identity in cloud computing
    - Identity in social networks
    - Identity solutions for
specific areas (e.g., healthcare, government, and education)
    - Identity theft prevention
in face of malware and phishing
    - Applied cryptography
for Identity Management
    - (Privacy-preserving)
identity profiling and fraud detection
    - Identity discovery,
life cycle and governance
    - Identity user experience
    - Attribute based authentication
and access control
    - User-centric identity
management
    - Ad-hoc, de-centralized
and reputation-based identity
    - Biometric Identity
    - Experience reports on
identity management practices

The goal of this workshop is to share
the latest findings, identify key challenges, 
inspire debates, and foster collaboration
between industries and academia towards 
interoperable identity service infrastructures.


### Important Dates
-------------------
Abstract Submission:  June 6th
[Optional]
Full Submission:      July
6th
Notification Due:     August
4th
Final Version Due:    August
16th


### Submission Instructions
---------------------------
Submitted papers must not substantially
overlap with papers that have been published or 
that are simultaneously submitted to
a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers 
should be at most 10 pages, using at
least 10.5-point font and reasonable margins on A4 or 
US letter-size paper (8.5 inch x 11
inch). Committee members are not required to read the 
appendices, and so submissions should
be intelligible without them. Each submission should 
start with the title, abstract, and
names and contact information of authors. The 
introduction should give background
and summarize the contributions of the paper at a 
level appropriate for a non-specialist
reader. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee 
that their paper will be presented at
the workshop.
