Goals and Topics of Interest

STM (Security and Trust Management) is a working group of ERCIM (European Research Consortium in Informatics and Mathematics). STM'10 is the sixth workshop in this series and will be held in Athens, Greece, in conjunction with EUROPKI'10 and CRITIS'10, and just after ESORICS'10. 

STM has the following aims:

  • to investigate the foundations and applications of security and trust in ICT;
  • to study the deep interplay between trust management and common security issues such as confidentiality, integrity, and availability;
  • to identify and promote new areas of research connected with security management (e.g., dynamic and mobile coalition management, P2P, MANETs, Web/GRID services);
  • to identify and promote new areas of research connected with trust management (e.g., reputation, recommendation, and collaboration);
  • to provide a platform for presenting and discussing emerging ideas and trends.

    Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
access control reputation systems and architectures
cryptography security and trust management architectures
data protection semantics and computational models for security and trust
digital right management trust assessment and negotiation
economics of security and privacy trust in mobile code
key management trust in pervasive environments
ICT for securing digital as well as physical assets trust models
identity management trust management policies
networked systems security trusted platforms and trustworthy systems
privacy and anonymity trustworthy user devices


The primary focus is on high-quality original unpublished research, case studies, and implementation experiences. We encourage submissions discussing the application and deployment of security technologies in practice.

This year post-proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series (confirmed). Additionally, extended versions of selected papers will be published in a special issue of the "Journal of Computer Security":
