SP2I 2023

The 3rd International Workshop on Security and Privacy in Intelligent Infrastructures

to be held in conjunction with the 18 th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security
(ARES 2023 – http://www.ares-conference.eu )

August 29 – September 01, 2023

Nowadays, Intelligent Infrastructures (IIs) represent various domains such as the Internet of Vehicles, e-Healthcare, Smart Cities services, Smart Grids and Smart Home applications. Intelligent Infrastructure services consist of layers that capture, exchange and analyze data as well as invoke autonomic responses sometimes supported by emerging Artificial Intelligent (AI) techniques. The goal of Intelligent Infrastructures is a higher level of convenience for mankind, but with those promises have come privacy and security issues and concerns. Therefore, increasing security and privacy in Intelligent Infrastructures by designing new efficient solutions is an important research direction. Moreover, quantum-resistant security and connecting privacy with the law are also important research topics nowadays. The SP2I 2023 workshop aims at collecting the most relevant ongoing research efforts in the field of privacy and security in Intelligent Infrastructures. This workshop also welcomes submissions that deal with interdisciplinary research connecting privacy to law, formal modeling, policy, and data privacy management. The SP2I also serves as a forum for relevant research projects to disseminate their privacy and security-related results and boost future cooperation.

The workshop is supported by the European Union under Grant Agreement No. 101087529 CHESS and the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic under grant VJ03030014 under program IMPAKT 1.

Privacy and verifiability trade-offs in voting systems
The methods of running democratic elections have evolved over the centuries together with the requirements. One of the paradoxes of voting is that these requirements are inherently contradictory. On one hand, we want to have full transparency and verifiability of the whole process by everyone, but on the other hand we want to keep the act of voting private to resist coercion attacks. It turns out that these properties can not be both achieved 100%, so some kind of a trade-off is required. In this talk we take a look at some of the possible equilibrium points and discuss their implications for practical voting systems.

Jan Willemson defended his PhD in computer science at Tartu University, Estonia, in 2002. He has been working at Cybernetica as a researcher since 1998, specializing in information security and cryptography. His areas of interest include risk analysis of heterogeneous systems, secure multi-party computations, e-government solutions and security aspects of Internet voting. He has authored more than 70 research papers published in international journals and conferences.
