Publisher's Synopsis
Recent developments in computer, communication, and information techno- gies, along with increasingly interconnected networks and mobility have est- lished new emerging technologies, such as ubiquitous computing and ambient intelligence, as a very important and unavoidablepartof everydaylife. However, this development has greatly in?uenced people's security concerns. As data is accessible anytime from anywhere, according to these new concepts, it becomes much easier to get unauthorized data access. As another consequence, the use of new technologies has brought some privacy concerns. It becomes simpler to collect, store, and search personal information and endanger people's privacy. Therefore, research in the area of secure data management is of growing imp- tance, attracting the attention of both the data management and security - search communities. The interesting problems range from traditional ones such asaccesscontrol(withallvariations,likerole-basedand/orcontext-aware),da- base security, operations on encrypted data, and privacy preserving data mining to cryptographic protocols. The call for papers attracted 33 papers both from universities and ind- try. The program committee selected 13 research papers for presentation at the workshop. These papers are also collected in this volume, which we hope will serve you as useful research and reference material.
