InTrust 2012: 4th International conference on Trusted Systems
              17th-19th December 2012, London, UK
                      www.intrust2012.com

Building on the success of INTRUST 2009, 2010 and 2011 (all of
which were held in Beijing), this conference focuses on the
theory, technologies and applications of trusted systems.  It
is devoted to all aspects of trusted computing systems,
including trusted modules, platforms, networks, services and
applications, 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.  The conference will be hosted by the
Information Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of
London. INTRUST 2012 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.

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.  Submissions will take place entirely via a
web system.  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.

As was the case for INTRUST 2009 (LNCS 6163), INTRUST 2010
(LNCS 6802) and INTRUST 2011 (LNCS, to appear), it is
anticipated that the proceedings of INTRUST 2012 will be
published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer
Science series. Unlike previous editions of this conference, it
is intended that the proceedings will be available at the
conference. 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. Authors
are strongly recommended to submit their papers in the standard
LNCS format (see
  http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-0-0-0
for details), with length at most 15 pages (excluding
bibliography and appendices).  Committee members are not
required to review more pages than this, so papers should be
intelligible within this length. Submissions not meeting these
guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their
merits. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their
paper will be presented at the conference.

Papers must be submitted using the EasyChair conference
management system at:
  https://www.easychair.org//conferences/?conf=intrust2012
Please send any enquiries to:
  webmaster@intrust2012.com

The conference has a best paper award to the value of US$1,000,
sponsored by Singapore Management University; all papers are
eligible for this award.

Topics of relevance include but are not limited to:

 Fundamental features and functionalities of trusted systems
 Primitives and mechanisms for building a chain of trust
 Design principles and architectures for trusted modules and
   platforms
 Implementation technologies for trusted modules and platforms
 Cryptographic aspects of trusted systems, including
   cryptographic algorithms and protocols, and their
   implementation and application in trusted systems
 Scalable safe network operation in trusted systems
 Mobile trusted systems, including trusted mobile
   platforms, sensor networks, mobile (ad hoc) networks,
   peer-to-peer networks, Bluetooth, etc.
