Trust and security are the top concerns of cloud computing users and the 
key barrier to widespread uptake of cloud computing services across 
industries. The resistance towards cloud computing is especially 
experienced in industries handling sensitive data, such as 
healthcare,government, banking, etc.While cloud computing brings about 
several conveniences for end-users, many new issues surfaced from cloud 
computing's promise of elasticity and availability.With these new 
issues, traditional security and trust techniques may not be able to 
fully resolve cloud computing's trust and security problems. Some of 
these new constraints include definition of data ownership, massive 
virtualization, multi-tenancy, elasticity, and cross-geographical server 
environments. There is a need for researchers to consolidate, discuss 
and bring forward this emerging and important field to the next level.

This special issue focuses on the research challenges and issues in 
trust and security in cloud computing. It aims to collect contributions 
by researchers from both academia and industry, show the latest research 
results and methodologies addressing top concerns in trust and security 
in cloud computing, and provide valuable information to researchers as 
well as practitioners, standards developers and policy-makers.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Malware detection in cloud computing
* Cryptography and encryption techniques for cloud computing
* Privacy in cloud computing
* Data obfuscation for cloud computing
* Accountability in cloud computing
* Security in virtualized environments
* Governance, regulation and compliance in cloud computing
* Data analytics for security in cloud computing
* Visualization for security in cloud computing
* Cloud computing threat detection techniques
* Trust in cloud services
* Trust reputation systems for cloud computing
* Reports on critical, real-life security and trust use cases in cloud 
computing
* Secure and trusted workflows in cloud computing
* Attacks and disaster preparation, recovery, and response
* Application and practical experiences
* Data security, privacy, retention and recovery
* Position papers on issues in security and trust in cloud computing
