PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS (October 17, 2011)
http://www.sigsac.org/ccs/CCS2011/preworkshops.shtml

Workshop on Security and Privacy in Smartphones and Mobile Devices 
(SPSM) Recognizing smartphone security and privacy as the emerging area, 
this workshop intends to provide a venue for interested researchers and 
practitioners to get together and exchange ideas, thus to deepen our 
understanding to various security and privacy issues on smartphones. 
This workshop will seek presentations on a number of topics related to 
smartphone security and privacy, including emerging smartphone threats, 
rogue mobile application detection, smartphone-centric regulatory 
compliance issues and mechanisms, mobile application sandboxing and 
virtualization, and others.

Workshop on Scalable Trusted Computing (STC)
ACM STC 2011 focuses on fundamental technologies of trusted and high 
assurance computing and its applications in large-scale systems with 
varying degrees of trust. The workshop is intended to serve as a forum 
for researchers as well as practitioners to disseminate and discuss 
recent advances and emerging issues. Topics of interests include but not 
limited to fundamental security principles of trusted computing (root of 
trust, trust measurement, storage, reporting, and attestation), hardware 
and software based trusted computing, architecture and implementation 
challenges, trusted computing for cloud, trusted mobile and smartphone 
devices, trusted emerging digital infrastructures such as smart grid, 
power grid, and Internet of Things, trusted social networks.

Workshop on Privacy in the Electronic Society (WPES)
The need for privacy-aware policies, regulations, and techniques has 
been widely recognized. This workshop discusses the problems of privacy 
in the global interconnected societies and possible solutions. The 2011 
Workshop, held in conjunction with the ACM CCS 2011 conference, is the 
tenth in a yearly forum for papers on all the different aspects of 
privacy in today's electronic society.  The workshop seeks submissions 
from academia, industry, and government presenting novel research on all 
theoretical and practical aspects of electronic privacy, as well as 
experimental studies of fielded systems. We encourage submissions from 
other communities such as law and business that present these 
communities' perspectives on technological issues.

POST-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS (October 21, 2011)
http://www.sigsac.org/ccs/CCS2011/postworkshops.shtml

Workshop on Security and Artificial Intelligence (AISec)
This workshop is to facilitate an exchange of ideas between these AI and 
Security and promote security and privacy solutions that leverage AI 
technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to 
AI-informed approaches to: Spam and botnet detection, malware 
identification, insider threat detection, incentives in security/privacy 
systems, phishing, and others.

Cloud Computing Security Workshop (CCSW)
Large-scale computing and cloud-like infrastructures are here to stay. 
How exactly they will look like tomorrow is still for the markets to 
decide, yet one thing is certain: clouds bring with them new untested 
deployment and associated adversarial models and vulnerabilities. It is 
essential that our community becomes involved at this early stage. The 
CCSW workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in 
all security aspects of cloud-centric and outsourced computing

Workshop on Digital Rights Management (DRM)
The ACM Workshop on Digital Rights Management is an international forum 
that serves as an interdisciplinary bridge between areas that can be 
applied to solving the problem of Intellectual Property protection of 
digital content. These include: cryptography, software and computer 
systems design, trusted computing, information and signal processing, 
intellectual property law, policy-making, as well as business analysis 
and economics. Its purpose is to bring together researchers from the 
above fields for a full day of formal talks and informal discussions, 
covering new results that will spur new investigations regarding the 
foundations and practices of DRM.

Workshop on Digital Identity Management (DIM)
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, smartphones, 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.  Comprehensive
solutions to digital identity management require addressing multiple
challenges and striking the best balance between usability, security, and
privacy. 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. 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.
