Description:
Certifying the execution of an e-service provided on the network as the
result of the interaction among independent organizations is a critical
area for the underlying IT-infrastructure. In fact, given the legal value
that is often attached to data managed and exchanged during the execution
of such an inter-organizational e-service, being able to document what was
actually carried out is of the utmost importance. This is made more
complex in cases, like it often happens in the public administration
sector, where e-services are based on legacy systems managed by autonomous
and independent organizations.
Additionally, the whole area of security issues, from the more basic ones (availability, authentication, integrity, confidentiality) to the more complex ones (e.g., authorization, non-repudiation) is an equally critical aspect to be able to trace down responsibilities ("who did what"). This capability is mandatory to increase the presence and the use of e-service IT-infrastructures.
The two areas have moreover a common technological intersection, since both are based on the reliable and efficient monitoring of executed and running processes. Certification and security are as well fundamental processes in organizational and economic terms.
The objective of the workshop is to discuss technical and organizational aspects regarding these two areas and their interrelations, presenting both real-life application experiences and methodological proposals, from participants belonging to the governmental, industrial and academic communities.
The workshop is within the "Security" Stream of the IFIP-WCC 2002, the 17th World Computer Congress of the IFIP. This is a uniquely rich event featuring 10 distinct Streams on key issues in Information Technology. The "Security" Stream features also one tutorial "Introduction to Computer Security" and one more Workshop "E-Government and Security", thus providing even more opportunities for discussions about security issues in IT-infrastructures in our increasingly digital world.
