The 2nd International Workshop on Security and Privacy in Big Data
(DataSec 2017)

(to be held in conjunction with SECURECOMM 2017, Canada, 22-24 October 2017)

Social media, such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, have pervaded all aspects of our daily lives. Internet-of-Things (IoT) has also been widely adopted in people's life nowadays. With their unparalleled popliarity, social media and IoT have evolved from the platforms for communication and news dissemination, to indispensable tools for professional networking, recommendations, marketing, and online content distribution. Social media and IoT, together with other activities, produce Big Data that is beyond the ability of commonly used computer software and hardware tools to capture, manage, and process within a tolerable elapsed time.

Due to their scale, complexity and heterogeneity, a number of technical and challenges in Social media and IoT must be addressed. It has been widely recognized that security and privacy are the critical issues. On one hand, social media and IoT platforms with Big Data have been effective venues for the attackers to launch attacks and distribute malicious information. On the other hand, privacy leakage through social media and IoT has become common exercise. This workshop aims to bring together researchers to publish state-of-art research findings in security and privacy preserving technologies for social media and IoT platforms with big data, focusing on both theoretical and applied techniques.
