5th European Trusted Infrastructure Summer School (ETISS)
5th - 10th September 2010
Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
ETISS is open to all researchers in IT security who are keen to learn
more about trusted infrastructure. Topics to be covered at the summer
school include Trusted Computing, machine virtualisation, new hardware
architectures and new network security architectures.
The aim is to provide a programme that is useful for both new and
established researchers in the area. Introductory sessions precede
practical labs, advanced lectures, specialised workshops and seminars.
The week will also include keynote talks from several influential
figures.
Speakers include:
* Boris Balacheff, HP Labs
* Loïc Duflot, ANSSI (French National Information System Security Agency)
* David Grawrock, Intel
* Andrew Martin, University of Oxford
* Jonathan McCune, Cylab, Carnegie Mellon University
* Mark Ryan, University of Birmingham
* Ahmad-Reza Sadeghi, Ruhr-University, Bochum
*** Student bursaries are available for masters and PhD students wishing to
attend. ***
Important dates
Due to public demand, the bursary deadline has been extended
* Bursary Application Deadline: 16th July
* Notification of Bursary Awards: 23th July
* Summer School: 5th - 10th September

Venue
This year's ETISS will be hosted by the Information Security Group
<http://isg.rhul.ac.uk/> ,
Royal Holloway, University of London.
Background
The rise of Information Technology - through increasingly interconnected
systems of systems and the internet of things - has demonstrated immense
potential for empowering citizens, businesses, and whole societies. But
these benefits are continually held in check by an inexorable rise in the
number and severity of security-related incidents. Such concerns have
led the research community to consider how the Information Technology
infrastructure can be incrementally re-engineered to use components which
are inherently more trustworthy - that is to say, sub-systems with more
predictable behaviour that can be trusted.
One such initiative is the work of the Trusted Computing Group, which aims
to provide trusted components that support and enable mechanisms for
system integrity verification. Typically with Information Systems Security,
we face an inter-disciplinary challenge that requires collaborative research
from many stakeholders across academia, industry, and government
research. Moreover, it links many different specialization areas, ranging from
information system management, distributed systems architecture, and
computer architecture, to operating system security and cryptography.
ETISS was founded to provide the open education and innovation platform
that supports collaboration across disciplinary boundaries for the research
community to address challenges associated to designing the next generation
of trusted computing and trustworthy infrastructure technologies.
