STPSA 2021: The 15th IEEE International Workshop on Security,
Trust, and Privacy for Software Applications
In conjunction with COMPSAC 2021 the 45th IEEE Computer Society
International Conference on Computers, Software & Applications
Venue: All-Virtual, July 12-16, 2021
Workshop Website:

GOALS
This workshop will bring researchers from academia and industry to
discuss methods and tools to achieve security, trust, and privacy
goals of both pervasive and pervasive software applications. This
workshop will focus on techniques, experiences and lessons learned
with respect to the state of art for the security, trust, and
privacy aspects of both pervasive and non-pervasive software
applications along with some open issues.
THEME
Information security has become a major concern for both pervasive
and non-pervasive software applications. Software systems must be
engineered with reliable protection mechanisms with respect to
security, privacy, and trust, while still delivering the expected
value of the software to their customers. The traditional
approaches to secure a system (e.g., IDS, firewalls) are no longer
sufficient to address many security, trust, and privacy (STP)
issues. These issues should be addressed by building more
effective STP-aware software applications. The principal obstacle
in developing STP-aware software is that current software
specification, design, implementation, and testing practices do
not include adequate methods and tools to achieve security, trust,
and privacy goals.
As most systems now are Internet-based, the number of attackers is
increased dramatically and threat scenarios have changed.
Traditional security measures do not fit well for the software of
pervasive applications. Since location and contexts are key
attributes of pervasive applications, the privacy issues need to
be handled in a novel manner than traditional software
applications. The devices in pervasive computing leave and join in
ad hoc manner in the pervasive network. These create a need for
new trust models for pervasive computing applications. In this
workshop, we will also welcome papers on the challenges and
requirements of security, privacy, and trust for pervasive
software applications.
SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Security, trust, and privacy specific software development
practices
• Security, trust, and privacy requirements elicitation and
specification
• Models and languages for STP-aware software specification and
design
• Architecture for STP-aware software development
• STP challenges for pervasive software applications
• Testing security, trust, and privacy properties of both
pervasive and non-pervasive software
• STP management and usability issues in software applications
• User interfaces for STP-aware pervasive and non pervasive
software
• Software reengineering for security, trust, and privacy for both
pervasive and non pervasive applications
• Tradeoffs among security, privacy, trust, and other criteria
• STP challenges in e-services, e.g. e-health, e-government,
e-banking, e-commerce, e-marketing and other web-based and
pervasive applications
• STP challenges in mobile software applications
• STP issues in sensor based software applications
• User interfaces for secure and privacy-aware pervasive computing
applications
• STP-aware service discovery mechanisms for pervasive computing
environments
• Models for ensuring security, trust, and privacy in pervasive
software applications
• STP issues for handheld device software applications such as
healthcare
• Teaching STP-aware software development
• Experience reports on developing STP-aware software
