The 4th Workshop on 
"Privacy and Security in Pervasive Environments "

*** Proceedings published by ACM (electronic) ** 
(in conjunction with 6th International Conference on 
PErvasiveTechnologies Related to Assistive Environments 
(PETRA) 2013)
Rhodes, Greece 



Workshop Theme and Goals
Pervasive computing pushes forward a vision where technology is
integrated into everyday objects with the intent of facilitating the
life of humans and making their interaction with the surrounding
environment simpler. A critical element of pervasive and ambient
intelligence environments is awareness: computing environments become
aware of the activities of their users and a lot of their daily
activities can be captured and recorded for future use. The users
frequently ignore the amount of their personal data being collected and
processed or shared wirelessly and how much their privacy may be
invaded. An understanding of privacy in the domain of pervasive
computing and learning to address privacy concerns is very critical.
Ensuring the security and privacy of users' data is a critical
prerequisite to creating public trust for pervasive environments. It is
therefore, necessary for such environments to be designed, implemented
and used in compliance with data subjects' fundamental rights while the
adoption of specific safeguards is required. In addition, since misuse
of collected data is easily enabled, preventive measures are needed.
Privacy-Enhancing Technology (PET) concepts have been developed and
applied while guidelines are found in the literature on how to deal with
data so that the application of pervasive technology to become
privacy-friendly. However, using privacy enabling and enhancing tools is
not always easy. Pervasive computing environments are based on the use
of wireless devices that have limited processing power, bandwidth,
throughput, memory etc. These factors put a resource limitation on
implementing resource demanding tools and protocols for privacy
protection. Additionally, legal support for widespread use of PETs is
missing and the introduction of additional legislation should be
examined.
Topics of Interest
We are interested in original papers and case studies describing
advances in all areas of assistive technologies for physical,
occupational therapy and rehabilitation, including but not limited to:
        * Privacy, security and trust in the design of pervasive and ambient 
intelligence environments
        * Ethical issues of Ambient Intelligence
        * Ethical guidelines for the design of pervasive and ambient 
intelligence environments
        * User and/or usability/user experience studies related to the design 
of pervasive and ambient intelligence environments
        * Policies and practices for access, authentication, authorization and 
auditing in pervasive and ambient environments
        * Policies for information sharing in pervasive environments
        * User and context awareness in pervasive computing and ambient 
intelligent environments
        * Access Control enforcement, authentication and secure data access in 
pervasive environments
        * Encryption, cryptographic techniques to ensure privacy and security 
in pervasive environments
        * Case studies in respect to privacy and security in pervasive 
environments
        * Developing secure pervasive/ambient infrastructures
        * Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PET's) for mobile or assistive 
environments
