2nd International Workshop on Advances on Privacy Preserving Technologies and Solutions (IWAPS 2022)
to be held in conjunction with the 17th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security
(ARES 2022 –
http://www.ares-conference.eu
)
August 23 – August 26, 2022
The availability of massive amounts of data, coupled with high-performance cloud computing platforms, has driven significant progress in artificial intelligence and, in particular, machine learning and optimization. It has transformed into a fertile surface for cyber-attacks skyrocketing the cyber risk of involved industries and impacting several areas, including computer vision, natural language processing, transportation, trust computing, identity management and psychological manipulation.
This workshop aims to strengthen security and privacy through research and relevant activities in the models and design of secure, privacy-preserving and trust architectures, investments in cyber-defense, data analyses, fusion platforms, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for next generation systems and solutions. We especially encourage security and privacy solutions that employ innovative machine learning techniques to tackle the issues of inspecting large data volumes, cyberattacks, and variety problems that are systemic in IoT platforms, theoretical and practical challenges related to the design of privacy-preserving AI systems and algorithms and will have strong multidisciplinary components, including soliciting contributions about policy, legal issues, and societal impact of privacy and affect the cyber risk of the participating entities.
The 2022 IWAPS will bring together researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present and discuss latest advances and innovations in theories, infrastructure, schemes, and applications for secure computation, privacy technologies, security economics, human computer interaction, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future trends.
The workshop is co-organized from the following European Commission (Horizon 2020 Programme) and Greek state (EPAnEK) projects:
SealedGRID
SECONDO
INCOGNITO
NetPhish
ERATOSTHENES
CyberSec4Europe
PHYSICS
EVOLVED-5G
SPECIAL ISSUE
Authors of accepted papers are invited to submit an extended version (at least 50% of new/additional material and the common part should not exceed 30% from the proceedings paper) for a fast-track publication to the Cryptography Journal under the special issue: “Future-Proof Secure Systems with Traditional and Quantum Resistant Cryptography”. Papers will be published free of charge and as soon as the review process is finalized and the paper gets accepted.
