SPIFEC 2017: 1st European Workshop on Security and Privacy in Fog and
Edge Computing
(In conjunction with ESORICS 2017)

Oslo, Norway, September 14, 2017

Website: https://www.nics.uma.es/pub/spifec

==============================================================================

Overview

The main goal of Fog Computing and other related Edge paradigms, such
as Multi-Access Edge Computing, is to decentralize the Cloud and bring
some of its services closer to the edge of the network, where data are
generated and decisions are made. Cloud-enabled edge platforms will be
able to cooperate not only with each other but with the cloud,
effectively creating a collaborative and federated environment. This
paradigm shift will fulfill the needs of novel services, such as
augmented reality, that have particularly stringent requirements like
extremely low latency. It will also help improve the vision of the
Internet of Things by improving its scalability and overall
functionality, among other benefits.

To enable this vision, a number of platforms and technologies need to
securely coexist, including sensors and actuators, edge-deployed
systems, software-defined networks, hardware virtualization, data
mining mechanisms, etc. However, this paradigm shift calls for new
security challenges and opportunities to leverage services for new
scenarios and applications. The field of edge computing security is
almost unexplored, and demands further attention from the research
community and industry in order to unleash the full potential of this
paradigm.

been published or submitted to another conference or journal. Papers
must be written in English and they must adhere to the LNCS template
from the time they are submitted. Submitted papers should be at most
16 pages (using 10-point font), excluding the bibliography and
well-marked appendices, and at most 18 pages total. Only PDF format is
accepted.

Revised accepted papers will be published as a joint post-proceedings
