The PST conference has quickly established itself as a leader in multidisciplinary research on a wide range of topics related to Privacy, Security and Trust, looked at from research and practice, through academe, business, and government.

The two conferences come together as the first annual meeting and conference of the newly formed IFIP Working Group on Trust Management (IFIP WG11.11), a major step forward in Trust Management work globally.

The program of the conference will feature research papers, industrial and government presentations. We are also keen to hear from parties interested in hosting workshops, both theoretical and practical, under the auspices of the conference – contact the Program Chairs for more details. It is expected that the conference will contain tracks on Trust Management, Privacy and Policy, Security, Public Safety and National Security, and Mobile and Emerging Technologies.

In addition, iTrust-PST 2007 will feature a ‘Business Day’ designed to bridge the gap between the research and technology being undertaken at universities and research organizations, and the practical needs of industry. We are soliciting Business Day presentations including industry presentations, workshops and panels describing innovative applications, case studies and best practices with a goal of fostering collaboration between the research community and the private sector.

Finally, iTrust-PST 2007 will feature an opportunity for interested parties to demonstrate their research and development projects. For more information, please contact the Program Chairs.
