2nd Workshop on Ethics in Computer Security Research 2011
March 4, 2011
Bay Gardens Beach Resort, St. Lucia
Submissions are closed.
Computer security often leads to discovering interesting new problems and challenges. The challenge still remains to follow a path acceptable for Institutional Review Boards at academic institutions, as well as compatible with ethical guidelines for professional societies or government institutions. However, no exact guidelines exist for computer security research yet. This workshop will bring together computer security researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and legal experts.
This workshop solicits submissions describing or suggesting ethical and responsible conduct in computer security research. While we focus on setting standards and sharing prior experiences and experiments in computer security research, successful or not, we tap into research behavior in network security, computer security, applied cryptography, privacy, anonymity, and security economics.
This workshop will favor discussions among participants, in order to shape the future of ethical standards in the field. It will be co-located with the Fifteenth International Conference on Financial Cryptography and Data Security 2011.
