Identity management is a critical component in the development and deployment of digital services in a variety of fields, including e-commerce, e-government, healthcare, and financial services. With the increased adoption of digital technologies, the demand for reliable identity management solutions is greater than ever. This brings many challenges ranging from technical (such as security and interoperability) to legal and regulatory (such as data protection and privacy). Addressing these challenges requires collaboration among researchers and practitioners from various fields with an interdisciplinary approach. This workshop seeks to foster this collaboration to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices obtained from dealing with the identity management field.

Topics of Interest

We aim to explore cutting-edge solutions and approaches to identity management that can help secure digital services against potential security and privacy threats.

We encourage submissions on a range of topics, including but not limited to:

• Access Control in IoT and Distributed Systems
• Behavioral and Risk-based Authentication Mechanisms
• Compliance with Regulations such as eIDAS (2), PSD2, NIS2
• Cryptography for Digital Identity (e.g., hiding commitments, selective disclosure signatures, zero knowledge proofs, accumulators, and secure elements)
• Decentralized Identity and Self Sovereign Identity
• Digital Wallets and Verifiable Credentials (e.g., selective disclosure and revocation)
• Identification, Onboarding and Know Your Customer (KYC) Procedures
• Identity for Web 3.0 and Metaverse
• Identity Governance and Administration
• Identity of Things and Cloud Security
• Mobile and Strong Authentication
• Passwordless Authentication (including passkeys)
• Privacy-Enhancing Technologies for Identity Management
• Securing Identities for Financial, Governmental and Health Services
• Session Management for Seamless and Continuous Authentication
• Trust Frameworks for Identity Management Solutions
• Video-based Identity Proofing (e.g., automated face comparison, impersonation attacks, document analysis)
• Zero Trust Architectures

We look forward to receiving your submissions and engaging in fruitful and lively discussions on the latest trends and developments in identity management.

Submission Guidelines

We solicit research and innovation papers that present ideas, proof of concepts, use cases, challenges and results from a variety of topics relevant to the secure and reliable identity management solutions. We accept different kinds of submissions:

• Original contributions, also in preliminary form, which will be included in an open-access post-proceeding volume of CEUR Workshop Proceedings, indexed by both Scopus and DBLP;
• Already published works, which will not be included in the post-proceedings volume.

Papers must be submitted in English and in PDF format, by following the CEURART template (1-column format). The LaTeX and Word version of the template can be found here. An Overleaf version of the template is also available.

Depending on the length, submissions are classified as:

• Short papers: 5-9 pages including bibliography and appendices;
• Regular papers: 10-12 pages including bibliography and appendices.

Submitted papers will undergo a single-blind review process, thus anonymization is not required.

Submissions must be made to the EasyChair conference management system.

Please note that at least one authors of each accepted paper must register for the workshop and is expected to (physically) present it.
