The special track on Security and Privacy of the ESTEL Conference aims at providing a forum for discussing security and privacy issues that need to be investigated for providing advanced services, architectures, and technologies for space and satellite applications. In this context, it is of utmost importance to ensure proper protection to such complex systems, or systems-of-systems, to ensure security, privacy, and availability of the infrastructure as well as of resources and information it provides and manages. These aspects concern both the specific satellite application and infrastructure as well as the base stations and land data servers and communications that serve them, touching then the different areas with ICT. The problem is far from trivial, due to the criticality and the social impact of the applications and services relying on this global infrastructure, as well as the complexity given by the co-existence and co-operation of, possibly heterogeneous, component systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:


Access Control Secure Cloud Computing
Applied Cryptography for Space Applications Secure Software Development Methodologies
Authentication Security Protocols
Biometrics Security and Privacy Security and Privacy in Mobile Systems
Data Integrity Security and Privacy in Complex Systems
