We invite researchers and practitioners working in security, privacy,
trustworthy data systems and related areas to participate in the
event.

This fourth edition of the workshop will be hosted by the
Institut TELECOM at Telecom ParisTech, the 12th and 13th of May.

The meeting is held in co-operation with MITACS (Mathematics of
Information Technology and Complex Systems), a Canadian research
network which connects university-based researchers with industry
and the public sector.

Important dates:

* Submission Deadline: February 19, 2011
* Acceptance Notification: March 19, 2011
* Camera Ready: April 4, 2011


Scope:

The objective of the workshop is to present and discuss international
research in different areas of theoretical and practical security
solutions. We invite researchers and practitioners from all countries
working in security, privacy, trustworthy data systems and related
areas to participate in the event. The main topics, but not limited
to, include:

* Cryptography & Cryptanalysis
* Security in Service Oriented Architectures
* Security in Web Services
* Security Administration
* Policy-based Security Architectures
* Security of Distributed Embedded Middleware
* Access Control Languages
* Trust Management
* Risk Assessment and Assurance
* Threat Analysis
* Distributed Security Protocols
* Security of Grid Computing
* Malware & Botnet Detection
* Protocol Verification
* Privacy & Sensitive Data Management
* Data Mining
* Security of Cloud Computing
* Watermarking
* Side Channel Attacks
* Monitoring and Auditing
* Privacy in Social Networks
* Information Theoretic Security
* Information Flow
* Security in Ambient Intelligence (AmI) Applications
* Security in Sensor Networks and RFIDs


Submission Guidelines:

Papers should be at most 15 pages (using 11-point font),
excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices. Committee
members are not required to read the appendices, so the paper
should be intelligible without them. All submissions must be
written in English.

Proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) series. The submitted paper (in PDF format)
should follow the template indicated by Springer (see
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). It must start with a
title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords.

Authors must submit their papers by the deadline indicated below,
using the EasyChair web site (using the link
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fps2011) and following the
requirements stated there.

All papers will be refereed. Accepted papers should be presented at the
Workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper must register to
the workshop, by the early date indicated by the organizers, and
present the paper.

Submissions by PhD students as well as controversial ideas are
encouraged. Case studies (successful or not) are also encouraged.
