-------------------------------------------- We are sorry if you receive multiple copies! -------------------------------------------- Call for Participation ---------------------- First International Conference on Security in Pervasive Computing (SPC-2003) March 12 - 14, 2003 in Boppard, Germany http://www.dfki.de/SPC2003 (online registration) The ongoing compression of computing facilities into small and mobile devices like handhelds, portables or even wearable computers will enhance an ubiquitous information processing. The basic para- digm of such a pervasive computing is the combination of strongly decentralized and distributed computing with the help of diversified devices allowing for spontaneous connectivity via the internet. Computers will become invisible to the users awareness and exchange of information between devices will effectively defy users control. Assuming a broad usage of more powerful tools and more effective ways to use them the quality of every day life will be strongly influenced by the dependability of the new technology. Information stored, processed, and transmitted be the various devices is one of the most critical resources. Threats exploiting vulnerabilities of new kinds of user interfaces, displays, operating systems, networks, and wireless communications will cause new risks of loosing confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Can these risks be reduced by countermeasures to an acceptable level or do we have to redefine political and social demands as it is expressed by the Gartner Group from a privacy perspective: By 2010, driven by the improving capabilities of data analysis ... privacy will become a meaningless concept in Western societies. Topics of Interest: ------------------- The objective of this conference is to develop new security concepts for complex application scenarios based on systems like handhelds, phones, smartcards, and smart labels hand in hand with the emerg- ing technology of ubiquitous and pervasive computing. Particular subjects are methods and technology concerning the identification of risks, the definition of security policies, and the development of security measures that are related to the specific aspects of ubiquitous and pervasive computing like mobility, communication, and secure hardware/software platforms. Conference Schedule: -------------------- In consideration of the novel character of the conference theme it is planned to have three kinds of events: - invited talks that give an introduction into security related aspects of pervasive computing: Friedemann Mattern (ETH Zurich): The Age of Pervasive Computing - Everything Smart, Everything Connected?

The results of the working groups will be presented and discussed in panel sessions. The final results will be published together with the technical papers in the Lecture Notes Series on Computer Science (LNCS). Location: --------- It will be held at an old former monastery in Boppard, Germany. Boppard is a nice small town located in the rhine valley about one hour away from Frankfurt airport. Organisation: ------------- The conference will be organised jointly by - German Information Security Agency (BSI) - German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) - Institute for Telematics, University of Freiburg.
