The InTrust conference focuses on the theory, technologies and applications of trustworthy systems. It is devoted to all aspects of trustworthy computing systems, including trusted modules, platforms, networks, services and applications, as well as security concerns and privacy issues of systems, from their fundamental features and functionalities to design principles, architecture and implementation technologies. The goal of the conference is to bring academic and industrial researchers, designers, and implementers together with end-users of trusted systems, in order to foster the exchange of ideas in this challenging and fruitful area.

INTRUST 2014 is the next event in a series of highly successful International Conferences, previously held as INTRUST (International conference on Trusted Systems) 2013 (Graz, Austria), INTRUST 2012 (London, UK), INTRUST 2011 (Beijing, China), INTRUST 2010 (Beijing, China), and INTRUST 2009 (Beijing, China). The conference will be hosted by Beijing Institute of Technology. INTRUST 2014 solicits original papers on any aspect of the theory, advanced development and applications of trusted computing, trustworthy systems and general trust issues in modern computing systems.

Instructions for Authors

Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors have published elsewhere or have submitted in parallel to any journal or other conference or workshop that has proceedings.

All submissions will be blind-reviewed. Papers must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or obvious references. A submitted paper should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of keywords.

The proceedings of InTrust 2014 will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Papers published in the LNCS series are indexed by both EI and ISTP. Clear instructions for the preparation of a final proceedings version will be sent to the authors of accepted papers.

Selected papers will be invited to be published (in approval) in

    International Journal of Information Security
    Frontiers of Computer Science

Papers should be submitted in standard LNCS format (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-0-0-0), with length at most 15 pages (excluding bibliography and appendices). Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference.

Papers must be submitted in PDF format using the EasyChair conference management system at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=intrust2014

Best Paper Award
